More Game Boy Color emulation on the DS: Lameboy v0.6
Created by Nutki over at the DS Scene forums, Lameboy is a Game Boy Color Emulator for the DS. It’s still in its development stages, lacking sound and compatibility with specific games, but there seems to be enough potential for this GBC emulator to make a big splash in the near future.
There has been a lot of changes since it got released around a week ago, so we did a bit of digging to get you the full changelog so far:
0.6
- fixed: 32k save (helps Pokemon S/G/Y, Dragon Warrior III)
- added: supports roms larger than 2MB (only unzipped – .gbc)
- fixed: directory browsing history
As it stands, it’s worthwhile enough for a trial run, don’t you think? The first post on the forums has the installation information as well as how to use it with roms. Make sure you let Nutki know if he’s doing a good job or not, and give him some constructive advice if you happen to be a programmer, alright? Enjoy!
