SDL2 GNUBoy is an emulator that allows users to play Game Boy and Game Boy Color games on their computer. It is built using the SDL2 library, which provides an abstraction layer for video, audio, and input devices. The emulator is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.
The emulator uses the GNUBoy library to emulate the Game Boy and Game Boy Color hardware. GNUBoy is a portable open-source emulator that is written in C and provides accurate emulation of the Game Boy and Game Boy Color hardware. SDL2 is used to provide a user interface for the emulator and handle input/output operations.
When the emulator starts, it creates a window using SDL2 and initializes the SDL2 subsystems required for handling input and rendering graphics. The emulator then loads the ROM file for the game that the user wants to play. The ROM file contains the game's code and data.
The emulator uses the GNUBoy library to emulate the hardware of the Game Boy and Game Boy Color. The library provides functions for emulating the CPU, memory, sound, and graphics of the Game Boy. The emulator sets up a callback function to be called periodically by the GNUBoy library to update the graphics on the screen and handle input from the user.
When the callback function is called, the emulator updates the state of the emulator by calling the relevant functions provided by the GNUBoy library. These functions update the CPU, memory, sound, and graphics based on the current state of the emulator.
The emulator then renders the graphics on the screen using the SDL2 library. SDL2 provides functions for rendering graphics using hardware acceleration, which ensures that the emulator can render graphics at a high frame rate.
The emulator also handles input from the user using the SDL2 library. SDL2 provides functions for handling keyboard and mouse input, as well as gamepad input. The emulator maps the input from the user to the appropriate button presses on the Game Boy or Game Boy Color.
Overall, SDL2 GNUBoy is a well-designed emulator that uses the SDL2 library to provide a user interface and handle input/output operations, and the GNUBoy library to accurately emulate the Game Boy and Game Boy Color hardware.
