Newly released for Dingoo

DINGUX GNUBOY

-------------

dingux gnuboy is a port of gnuboy for dingoo dingux with some extra options.

It has been ported by joyrider aka willems davy. The dingux version is a backport
of the native os version.

how to install ?

----------------

copy sdlgnuboy anywhere you like on your sd card. The home directory should be exported
before running dingux gnuboy (although i also set it in the code to /boot/local/home)

how to play ?

-------------

Once you copied your games and the binarie file just start sdlgnuboy from a terminal with as parameter
the rom you want to play. You could also add it to dmenu to use it with the selector option.
The default keys are the same as on the gameboy being:

A : A

B : B

Select : Select
Start : Start
L : QuickSave to selected saveslot
R : QuickLoad from selected saveslot
Y and X does nothing !

The menu?

---------

Holding select+start will bring you to the menu where you can change diffrent options.

like showing the showing fps counter, the screen mode, sound volume, frameskip or save load a state as well as

quiting the emulator.

option notes:

- the frameskip option will skip one out of 2 frames so instead of rendering 60 frames per second it will

only render 30 frames per second, this will speed up certain games at the cost of loosing frames. Experiment with it

- there are 3 screen modes : Aspect FS which stretches the screen but keeping aspect ratio, Stretched full screen

and native. During native mode you will see a frame around the screen this frame can be customized !

by default the emulator will first look for game sepecific frames being .tga if it doesn't find it it will

look for the file name gnuboy.tga in the folder where you loaded the rom from, if it doesn't find that one it will do

a final check for a gnuboy.tga in the folder where you placed the binarie and load that one. If they all fail the defaultframe will be loaded.

- about frames : The frames have to be a 320x240 uncompressed tga image ! do not try to use another format or another resolution.

- Save State and load state will display a number besides them this is the saveslot which is a number between 1 and 9 so you

can have up to 9 savestates per game (rom).

the rest of the options should be obvious.
