Free gameboy software for linux

GBAconv is a set of tools aimed at GameBoy Advance developers. GBAconv allows you to convert WAV sounds and PCX images into C arrays to be included in GBA programs.

It is composed of two programs:

- pcx2gba: exports a PCX 8-bpp image to 16-bit values C arrays: palette + image data (2 pixels per value)
- wav2gba: exports a WAV 8-bit mono sound to 8-bit signed values array.

There wont be any other releases of GBAconv, as Ive no interest for the GBA platform anymore.

Compiling:

Simply type "make" to compile the program.

It has been successfully compiled on:

- 32-bit x86 Architecture (Ubuntu Linux 5.10, FreeBSD 5.4)

Usage:

pcx2gba input.pcx output.inc array_name (Input File must be 8-bit PCX)
wav2gba input.wav output.inc array_name (Input File must be 8-bit, MONO)

Jaune project is a Java-like compiler for small systems.
Jaune is a compiler and set of libraries that can be used to write programs in the Java language for small devices.
It includes a basic set of class libraries, garbage collector, and set of examples that can be run on the Nintendo GameBoy.
Main features:
- All of the object-oriented features of the Java language.
- A conservative, compiler directed garbage collector.
- Sufficient base class support for implementing most of the niceties of the Java libraries.
- Native implementations of the Object, String and StringBuffer classes for speed.
- A very straight forward native code interface.

Boycott Advance is a SDL based Gameboy Advance Emulator.
Boycott Advance/SDL is based on the BA core, with one essential difference: it uses the Simple Direct Media Library rather than the DirectX libraries. Consequently, it can be used on many different platforms, while still using the excellent BA core.
Unlike the original BA, BA/SDL doesnt have any GUI(except for the BeOS version), though for those who dislike commandline programs there are several frontends available (see download section).
Enhancements:
- Completely insync with BoyCott Advance v0.2.8;
- Incorperated the new sdlemu library;
- BoyCott Advance sdl-core is completely rewritten for use of the new sdlemu library;
- Many bugfixes and code enhancements (somewhat speedier);
- Many filter options to a total of 19(!) different SDL filters;
- Optimized OpenGL and SDL rendering options;
- And many changes which are infact to many to note!;

.GBS - Nintendo Gameboy
.GSF - Nintendo Gameboy Advance
.GYM - Sega Megadrive/Genesis
.HES - PC Engine
.KSS - MSX
.MDX - Sharp X68000
.MOD - Commodore Amiga
.NSF - Nintendo NES
.ORC - TRS-80 Orchestra-90
.PSF - Sony PlayStation
.QSF - Capcom QSound
.RAW - PC-compatibles with an AdLib
.S3M - PC-compatibles with a GUS or SoundBlaster
.S98 - NEC PC-98
.SAP - Atari XL/XE
.SNDH - Atari ST
.SPC - Super Nintendo
.VGM - Sega Master System/Game Gear
.YM - Amstrad CPC/Spectrum ZX/Atari ST
Enhancements:
- Completely replaced the .NSF, .GBS, and .SNDH engines with substantially better-sounding and more-compatible versions. Big thanks to Shay Green
- (.NSF and .GBS, based on Game Music Box) and Benjamin Gerard (.SNDH based on the upcoming SC68 v2.3.0) for allowing us to use their code!
- CAB archive support. This is popular in Japan and many Japanese formats are commonly found in these containers.
- Fixed MOD note delay and note cut behavior.
- Added support for the S3M note cut effect.
- Fixed bug in the new RAR engine that caused crashes on some files.
- Fixed .RAW files that use a timer divider of 0.
- Fixed tempo of .QSF files.
- Fixed .S98 files using a tempo value other than 0.
- Fixed nasty pop/click at the start of .S98 files.

Main features:
- Fast
- SNES support
- SMS/GG support
- Gameboy support
- PC-Engine support
- NO$GMB symbol file writing
- Support for object and library files
- You can patch ROM images with code
- WLA GB-Z80 disassembler included
- Numerous ways to comment code away
- ROM image and program file compiling
- Multilevel macros (actually, functions)
Compiles code for the following CPUs:
- 6502 (NES, etc.)
- 65C02 (VIC-20, etc.)
- 6510 (C64, etc.)
- 65816 (SNES, etc.)
- GB-Z80 (Game Boy)
- HuC6280 (PC-Engine)
- SPC-700 (SNES sound chip)
- Z80 (GG, SMS, MSX, Spectrum, Ti86, etc.)
... on the following platforms:
- AmigaOS 1-3 (680x0)
- AmigaOS 4 (PPC)
- Linux
- MSDOS
- Un*x
- Win32
Currently WLA can also be used as a patch tool. Just include the original
ROM image into the project with .BACKGROUND and insert e.g., OVERWRITE .SECTIONs
to patch the desired areas. Output the data into a new ROM image and there
you have it. 100% readable (asm coded) patches are reality!
Note that you can directly compile only object and library files. You must
use WLALINK to link these (or only one, if you must) into a ROM/program file.
About the names... WLA DX means all the tools covered in this documentation.
So WLA DX includes WLA GB-Z80/Z80/6502/65C02/6510/65816/HUC6280/SPC-700
macro assembler (what a horribly long name), WLAB, WLAD and WLALINK
GB-Z80/Z80/6502/65C02/6510/65816/HUC6280/SPC-700 linker. I use plain WLA to refer
to the macro assembler.
Enhancements:
- A couple of new directives, directive aliases, makefiles, and examples were added. .MEMORYMAP and .MACRO parsing were enhanced.
- This release incorporates a few 6502 related fixes.
