FyneGameboy

🕹️ FyneGameboy is a Gameboy emulator GUI based on the GameBoy.Live project by HFO4. With this project you can play your favourite GameBoy games on desktop, mobile and beyond.

Installation

You can build the app using Go Version 1.12 or higher as shown below. On Debian based systems, the packages libasound2-dev and libgl1-mesa-dev must be installed.

git clone https://github.com/andydotxyz/fynegameboy.git
cd fynegameboy
go build main.go

Usage

Usage of gbdotlive:
  -d    Use Debugger in GUI mode
  -f FPS
        Set the FPS (default 60)
  -h    This help
  -m    Turn on sound (default true)

Running

Play a specified ROM file in GUI mode:

$ fynegameboy "Tetris.gb"

Alternatively you can just run the application and play Dino's Offline Adventure. Many thanks to Brian Norman for permission to embed the game.

Mobile

This app also supports a touchscreen configuration for mobile devices. To build for a mobile device you need to use the fyne tool's package function:

$ go get fyne.io/fyne/v2/cmd/fyne
$ fyne package -os android -appID xyz.andy.fynegameboy
$ adb install fynegameboy

The Tetris game is not associated with this repository
