Eboy - Emacs Gameboy Emulator

A Nintendo Gameboy emulator for Emacs. This is a work in progress! Just got Tetris starting up, not tested with anything else.

It currently runs a constant loop without delay. To get out of this loop, use the common C-g command.

The display is drawn using unicode, by default it is set for dark theme. Use the unicode list below when you have a light theme installed in Emacs.

(setq eboy-display-unicode-list eboy-display-unicode-list-light-theme)

It has frameskip enabled, by default set to 20.

Why?

I always wanted to learn how to a make an emulator and want learn how to write packages for Emacs. So here my first emulator and first emacs package.

Prerequisites

Emacs :)

Installing

For now just M-x eval-buffer or M-x byte-compile-file the following files: eboy-macros.el, eboy-cpu.el and eboy.el.

Usage

Load a rom using the M-x eboy-load-rom command.

Gameboy	Eboy
Start	Enter
Select	Space
B	D
A	S
down	k
up	i
left	j
right	l

To continue a game after you pressed C-g, use the M-x eboy-run command.

Eboy related messages are written to the buffer *Eboy Messages*.
