{{#seo: |title=GameBrew |title_mode=append |image=vision8gbc.png |image_alt=Vision-8 for Gameboy }} Vision-8 GB is a port of Marcel de Kogel's Vision-8 CHIP8 emulator for the Game Boy and Game Boy Color. ==Features== * Chip-8 emulation based on Vision-8 emulation core. * The games are stored on the cartridge's battery-backed RAM, instead of the ROM. That way, you DON'T need to alter the ROM-image in order to add or remove chip-8 games. * Up to seven chip-8 games can be stored on the battery-backed RAM. * GB link cable support: Game Boy users can exchange chip-8 games through GB's game link cable. * A pretty graphical interface. * Chip-8 keypad mappings can be set individually for each game. * Color Game Boy support. * Runs perfectly on most Game Boy emulators. ==User guide== How to use it: * Use the MAKESAV utility to build a battery-backed RAM image with the games you want, or just use the one that is included with the release. * Copy the .SAV file created that way to the directory where your Game Boy emulator stores the battery-backed RAM (no$gmb stores it on the .\BATTERY subdirectory. VGB generally stores it on the same directory where your ROM image is.). * Run the .GB file on your favorite emulator, * You could also burn it to a ROM and use it on a real Game Boy, but you should remember that it uses the battery-backed RAM to store the chip-8 games. It does not have: * Super Chip-8 support. * More stable serial communication code: sometimes the emulator locks-up while transmitting data through the game link cable. * It was never tested on a real Game Boy. ==Screenshots== https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/gbhomebrews/vision8gbc2.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/gbhomebrews/vision8gbc3.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/gbhomebrews/vision8gbc4.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/gbhomebrews/vision8gbc5.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/gbhomebrews/vision8gbc6.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/gbhomebrews/vision8gbc7.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/gbhomebrews/vision8gbc8.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/gbhomebrews/vision8gbc9.png ==Credits== Special thanks to: * Pascal Felber and Michael Hope, for creating GBDK. * Jeff Frohwein, for its outstanding GameBoy technical page. * Marcel de Kogel, for releasing the source for his Vision-8 chip-8 emulator. * Anders Granlund, for his GB-Chip8 emulator. * Pan of -ATX-, for its excellent documentation about GameBoy. * Anyone else I may have forgotten. ==External links== *Author's website - [https://web.archive.org/web/20160702101951/http://www.haroldo-ok.com:80/vision-8-chip-8-emulator-for-gameboy-color/ http://www.haroldo-ok.com] (archived) *GitHub - https://github.com/haroldo-ok/really-old-stuff/
