Before you start, make sure you have Go installed and ready to build applications: https://golang.org/doc/install
Once you have a working Go environment you'll need to install the following dependecies:
- GCC 64 bit installed: http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download
- Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev xorg-dev - Fedora:
sudo dnf install @development-tools libX11-devel libXcursor-devel libXrandr-devel libXinerama-devel mesa-libGL-devel libXi-devel
- You need Xcode or Command Line Tools for Xcode (
xcode-select --install) for required headers and libraries.
Run this command to let Go download and build the sources. You don't even need to clone this repo, Go will do it for you:
go get -u github.com/drhelius/demo-emulator
Once built you can find the emulator binary in $GOPATH/bin. Use it with the -rom argument in order to load a Game Boy ROM file:
$GOPATH/bin/demo-emulator -rom path/to/your_rom.gb
START = Enter
SELECT = Space
A = S
B = A
Pad = Cursors
