Virtual Game Boy is the Nintendo GameBoy(tm) emulator on X-Window.
|
|
|
|
Test your VGB installation with the command(default):
|
|
|
|
vgb /usr/X11R6/share/VGB/CART.GB
|
|
|
|
If you want to know what the cartidge file is, type as:
|
|
|
|
gblist <cartridge file>
|
|
|
|
You buy the cartridges. GameBoy software is copyrighted and still sold.
|
|
Therefore, its distribution is an act of piracy. Nothing prohibits you
|
|
from backing up a cartridge you own and playing it on the emulator though.
|
|
To back up a GameBoy cartridge, you can use either SmartCard copier (about
|
|
$100 for a standalone version), or a self-built copier designed by Pascal
