- AmigaVGB_PPC
- ------------
- This is the first release of AmigaVGB PPC! It is a recompile with some changes of
- AmigaVGB (for 68k) on Aminet. Compared with AmigaVGB running on a 060, AmigaVGB PPC
- has a GREAT speed (even faster than a Gameboy!)..
-
- Usage
- -----
- If you want to run a .gb-file, you must use the following syntax:
- runelf AmigaVGB_CGX.elf CR=<your .gb-file here>
- or just double-click the PPC-icon for an ASL-Requester!
- If the emulator is too fast for you, make the window larger or play
- around with the options (enter "runelf AmigaVGB_CGX.elf ?" for help..)..
-
- Keys
- ----
- Press the help-key when you are inside the emulator!
-
- Limitations/Requirements
- ------------------------
- - only runs on PowerUP-boards ;-)
- - *** you need version 45.5 or better of the ppc.library, get it ***
- from ftp://ftp.phase5.de/pub/phase5/ppc
- - it might need CyberGfx V3 .. don`t know whether CGX V2 or P96 works..
- - you can only set the .gb-file .. other parameters can`t be set YET
- - quite "slow", as pure ANSI-C without any assembler-source-code .. therefore
- portable (also read VGB.doc inside Misc/ ..) An OPTIMIZED version (I won`t
- do it ;-) might get _a lot more_ speed, so if this port of VGB only runs
- bit faster than an original gameboy, then this is not the fault of PowerUP
- or the PowerUP-software, it`s because pure ANSI-C-code is used for emulation!
- - faster than any GameBoy-emulator on an 68060 .. once again (Power)Amiga rulez!
