GOBOY SE

GOBOY SE is a Gameboy emulator for the PXXX Sony Ericsson mobile phone series maintained by Ed Cross. It is based on the previous GOBOY800 done by AnotherGuest and DanVan, and GOBOY for symbian series 60 done by Wildpalm. The emulation core is based on GNUBOY by Laguna and Gilgamesh. It features fully gamming experience in several modes to take full advantage of the mobile phone capabilities.

The current available version is GOBOY SE 1.0

• Direct video buffer implementation at emulator core.
• Scaled video size to enjoy the big screen size available in PXXX.
• Auto adjust on video mode changes, H/V or Flip open/Flip closed. (Some improvements to be done, synch fails)
• Horizontal screen and Vertical screen game modes. (This allows the usage of the PXXX like a game pad due to its shape!)
• Sound on/off options at menu. Turning the sound off also will save cpu cycles.
• Keypad with diagonals. (This was previously done by DanVan, but been unable to locate the source code, so had to do it from scratch).

Future actions and improvements to be done:

• SOUND SOUND SOUND, due to reasons i have not explored, sound fails badly under load, this is probably due to inneficient code or lack of cpu..
• Work needs to be done in order to synch video mode changes and the video output, this will prevent the dirty stuff on the screen at some times.
• Customizable keys.
• Maybe Gameboy Advance support some day?




• Any comments or ideas will be very welcome.

FAQ

- How the hell do i control games?

Side camera and internet buttons plus the on/off left side button, movement is done by pressing the screen game with then stylus pen on open flip mode and the key numeric pad in closed flip mode.

- When closing the flip the game does not show.

Check if the keypad is locked if so unlock it, the game will appear on screen after that..

- Please give me a game rom so i can play/Do you provide rom images?.

Dont even try!!.

- Sound sometimes does not work the first time i load GOBOY SE.

Need to look on the issue, just click on the GOBOYSE menu and it will pop, if not, try sound on/off option.

- At some screen video changes i get old frame parts of images on the screen.

Yeah, ...since a direct video writting is performed in order to save cpu cycles..this should happen, anyway if this annoys you open/close the flip or change mode and it should get back to normal.

- Hey man!! in my P800 this (insert favourite feature here) is not working!!!!.

LOL, ok i have a P910, no idea how this looks on a P800, tell me whats the problem and will try to look at it, btw if you want to donate a P800 i will be happy to get it..
