PyBoy is bundled with several renderers, called "Game Windows". The recommended is SDL2
, and its installation is described in the installation instructions above.
The installations instructions here, will be sparse, as they are mostly for the technically interested.
-
SDL2
: Instructions are found above. -
scanline
: Instructions are the same asSDL2
. -
OpenGL
: Install OpenGL and FreeGLUT through the system's package manager. Installpyopengl
and optionallypyopengl-accelerate
through pip. -
dummy
: No installation required.
If the imageio
module is available, PyBoy can record video from the screen and save it in a .gif
format. On Linux, this requires the following dependencies:
libsdl2-dev libtiff5-dev libjpeg8-dev zlib1g-dev
These can be installed with apt
or whatever package manager your distro uses.
Install the module with pip
(or pip_pypy
on macOS):
python3 -m pip install imageio
PyBoy will detect whether imageio
is present, and screen recording can be triggered with the I
key.
