vbam (cross-platform gameboy/gbc/gba emulator)
|
|
|
|
VisualBoyAdvance-M is a Nintendo Game Boy Advance Emulator with high
|
|
compatibility with commercial games. It emulates the Nintendo Game Boy
|
|
Advance hand held console, in addition to the original Game Boy hand
|
|
held systems and its Super and Color variants. VBA-M is a continued
|
|
development of the now inactive VisualBoy Advance project, with many
|
|
improvements from various developments of VBA.
|
|
|
|
The main executable is /usr/games/vbam, which is a command-line app
|
|
with no GUI controls.
|
|
|
|
Optional dependencies:
|
|
|
|
wxGTK3 - highly recommended, autodetected (can be disabled via
|
|
WX=no). This gives you a /usr/games/visualboyadvance-m executable that
|
|
has a modern graphical user interface, plus desktop integration.
|
|
|
|
SFML - autodetected (can be disabled via SFML=no). Only required for
|
|
emulating the GBA Link cable.
|
|
|
|
lirc - autodetected (can be disabled via LIRC=no). Allows using an
|
|
IR remote control to control the emulator. Only works with the SDL
|
|
user interface (the vbam executable). Untested by the SlackBuild
|
|
maintainer, as I don't own any lirc-compatible hardware.
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
The config file (vbam.ini) is shared between the visualboyadvance-m
|
|
and vbam executables, and lives in ~/.config/visualboyadvance-m/
|
|
(mentioned here because the man pages don't document this). When
|
|
upgrading versions, you might have to delete the config file if vbam
|
|
and/or visualboyadvance-m crash or act weird.
|
|
|
|
There are a couple of alternatives on SBo you might try instead of
|
|
this vbam SlackBuild: mgba and/or higan.
