Sadly I am taking a break from coding Boob!boy for | | a while since I do not currently have a computer at university (any of| | you guys who work for a pc company, feel free to send me a free one, | | and i'll continue coding at uni :-) ) | | | | This version is fully working but there are a fair few known problems:| | ->Direction controls are not working properly. | | ->No sound. | | ->A bug in Super Gameboy Border code, which causes Super Gameboy | | games to lock-up the dreamcast... this means no playing of a few Color| | gameboy pokemon games which have borders. | | ->Slightly slow (frame skip is off in this version) | | | Thus, due to the aforementioned reasons please treat this release as | | a preview of what could be achieved with a bit more work. Be patient | | and enjoy the other great emulators for the dc that will soon be | | available! | | | | This is not supposed to be a super-duper-funtastic gameboy experience | | on the dreamcast (that will come) but an example of gameboy games | | running on the console... | | | | Enjoy this release, and if you don't like it, don't use it, but please| | don't moan about it being shit :-) and don't even think about asking | | where you can get gameboy roms from. | | | | Although i wont have a computer at university, Boob! will still be | | updated regularly both by me and others, and as long as you guys | | continue to send in great docs / tools / apps etc... the spirit of dc | | emulation/development at Boob! will continue... I will be back fully | | come Christmas, but you never know, maybe (and hopefully) sooner! | | | | PS: for any beta testers, this is the same version as Beta3, since | | none of my later builds (no borders + a few speed optimizations) | | have been fully tested and there is no point in releasing something | | that could well be f*cked up. | | | | | | How to use Boob!boy 1.0: | | ============================== | | 1) Extract Boobboy.zip and Burn.zip into an empty directory | | | 3) Copy any gameboy games into the root directory, making sure that | | they have an extension .GB?, where ? must be a character not a space! | | (.gbc is a safe bet!->rename *.gb *.gbc ) | | 4) Burn this directory to a cd, making sure that the /wince directory | | is also burnt | | 5) Turn on the dreamcast, insert bootcd, insert Boob!boy cd and enjoy!| | | | Instructions / Controls: | | ============================ | | Press the Start button to pass through the 2 splash screens | | | | Once at the Game selection menu, pressing UP and DOWN on the analogue| | stick will allow you to move the Blue Selection Box up and down | | through the games. LEFT and RIGHT on the analogue stick will allow | | you to move through the pages of games. | | | | Once you have decided on which game you would like to play press | | start to begin playing it! Immediately you should see the Boob!boy | | loading screen... gameboy black&white games take almost no time to | | load, whereas 4mb colour games will obviously give you the chance to | | enjoy the splendour of the loading screen! | | | | In-game controls are as follows: | | Analogue Stick = Gameboy D-PAD | | Dreamcast A button = Gameboy A Button | | Dreamcast B button = Gameboy B Button | | Dreamcast Start button = Gameboy Start Button | | Dreamcast X button = Gameboy Select Button | | | | Press the Dreamcast Y button to take you back to the game select | | screen! | | | | | +--|- - - -|--+ | Contacts ------------------------------------------------------ | +--|- - - -|--+ | | | Email address: contact_CyRUS64@hotmail.com. | | or visit Boob! at http://www.boob.co.uk | | Greets and thanks go out to lots of people!
