Save/load battery backup
Save/load emulator state to file
Fast-forward, pause and step one frame
Rewind and seek to specific cycle

Cloning

Use a recursive clone, to include the submodules:

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/binji/binjgb

If you've already cloned without initializing submodules, you can run this:

$ git submodule update --init

Building

Requires CMake and SDL2. Debugger uses dear imgui, (included as a git submodule).

Building (Linux/Mac)

If you run make, it will run CMake for you and put the output in the bin/ directory.

$ make
$ bin/binjgb foo.gb

You can also just use cmake directly:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

Building (Windows)

When building on Windows, you'll probably have to set the SDL2 directory:

> mkdir build
> cd build
> cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -DSDL2_ROOT_DIR="C:\path\to\SDL\"

Then load this solution into Visual Studio and build it. Make sure to build the INSTALL target, so the exectuables are built to the bin directory.

Building WebAssembly

You can build binjgb as a WebAssembly module. You'll need an incoming build of emscripten. See https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/wiki/WebAssembly and http://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/docs/building_from_source/index.html#installing-from-source.

Put a symlink to Emscripten in the emscripten directory, then run make.

$ ln -s ${PATH_TO_EMSCRIPTEN} emscripten
$ make wasm

Changing the Build Configuration

If you change the build config (e.g. update the submodules), you may need to run CMake again. The simplest way to do this is to remove the out/ directory.

$ rm -rf out/
$ make

Running

$ bin/binjgb <filename>
$ bin/binjgb-debugger <filename>

Running tests

Run scripts/build_tests.py to download and build the necessary testsuites. This works on Linux and Mac, not sure about Windows.

scripts/tester.py will only run the tests that match a filter passed on the command line. Some examples:

# Run all tests
$ scripts/tester.py

# Run all tests mooneye tests
$ scripts/tester.py mooneye

# Run all gpu tests
$ scripts/tester.py gpu
