Shiro

Shiro is a free open source Nintendo Game Boy emulator written as a hobby project. It is written in C++11 and relies on SDL for display and keyboard interfaces but since it is wrapped in just two files (controls.cpp and display.cpp), it is really easy to port.

It currently only supports the original DMG/Pocket Game Boy.

Dependencies

• SDL2: https://www.libsdl.org/

Build

On POSIX systems with GNU make available, simply:

make

It will also compile on Microsoft Visual C++ assuming you setup your environment properly.

Usage

shiro [-b] path_to_rom

-b will attempt to load the Game Boy BIOS from file bios.bin and play it before running the rom. The file is not included since it is copyrighted.
