SubjectMameboy source code? new Reply to this message

I used the link that is on mameworld.net, but I can only load the Mameboy main page, not any of the links. Is it down?

I had the source code at one time, but I lost it in a hard drive crash. For CE 2.11, I was able to get Mameboy to compile and work correctly on my Z50. I had trouble getting the regular (er, I don't remember which version specifically) MameCE to work at all, although, I suppose I could try that code again, if I write a gx.dll. I think that was the main problem, that GAPI is not available on the older OS, only CE 3.0. However, I found that someone has written a GAPI lib for the Casio E-10, and I think this could be adapted to the Z50, of course. (By the way, perhaps this would allow more verions of MameCE to run on the Casio E-10?)

Anyway, would this be a better way to go, long-term? Perhaps my changes could be rolled into the regular MameCE release. There are only minor changes between the Z50 and the older Casios (like, the keyboard keys, mainly, and the offset to the video buffer).

Someone posted a link to Darren's site, and the code for MameCE-10x is pretty much the same as Mameboy, so I'm re-implementing my changes on that. We'll see, but so far it looks good.

I saw the GAPI for E-10X, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. Do you have the URL for it handy? I'd like to snag the latest version to play with.

As you said in your reply, my page, http://www.finck.net/mamece-10x/ has the source for my build, which, as you pointed out, is also the source for "Mameboy" (less a few tweaks). Somewhere I may have the emails to the guy who maintains Mameboy detailing the required tweaks, if you need it.
