Gearboy Git (2014/07/19)

EmuCR: GearboyGearboy Git (2014/07/19) is compiled. Gearboy is a Nintendo Game Boy emulator written in C++. The emulator is focused on readability of source code, but nevertheless it has good compatibility. A lot of effort has gone into this in order to follow OOP and keep it as simple as possible.

- Accurate instruction timing, passes instr_timing.gb from blargg's tests.
- Memory Bank Controllers (MBC1, MBC2, MBC3 with RTC, MBC5) and ROM + RAM cartridges.
- Accurate LCD controller emulation. Background, window and sprites, with correct timings and priorities.
- Mix frames: Mimics the LCD ghosting effect seen in the original Game Boy.
- Sound emulation using SDL Audio and Gb_Snd_Emu library.
- Basic Game Boy Color support.
- Integrated disassembler. It can dump the full disassembled memory to a text file or access it in real time.
- Compressed rom support (ZIP deflate).
- Multi platform. Compiles and runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and iOS.
- Uses OpenGL for rendering on all platforms.
- Uses Qt framework for Mac, Windows and Linux. Uses Cocoa Touch for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.
- Visual Studio 2010 project provided for Windows. Netbeans 7.2 project provided for Linux and Mac OS X. Xcode project for iOS.

  1. Unfortunately I get the same problem as in Gearsystem:

    "this application failed to start because it could not load or find the Qt platform plugin "windows"

    reinstalling the application may fix the problem"

    I also have an older version of Gearboy, compiled in March.2013 and it runs without issues.

    It is based on the Qt4 version, while the newer version is based on Qt5.
    Is there any library missing I need to add to Gear folder?

    1. I contacted the author and he gave me these links:

      http://www.geardome.com/files/gearboy/Gearboy-1.6-Windows.zip

      http://www.geardome.com/files/gearsystem/Gearsystem-1.2-Windows.zip

      Jei, you need also to create a platform folder and add the qwindows.dll file found on these files or the programm will not run.
      it also requires VS2013 x86 runtime files
