crab

A very rough start to a Game Boy Advance emulator in Crystal Lang. The long-term goal is simply playability of popular titles. The name of the project come from the emudev discord, where "crab" was suggested for "Crystal Advanced Boy." Close enough.

Installation

At the moment, a shards install is all that's required.

Usage

This is not in a functional state. As instructions are being implemented, you can print the trace by compiling with -Dtrace or print logs by compiling with -Dlog. Next, simply provide the executable with the path to your rom.
