Difference: PluginRockboy (r35 vs. r34)

Rockboy Plugin

This plugin is a port of GNUboy to Rockbox which allows you to play Gameboy games on your player. It is included in the Rockbox builds and functions as a viewer (you simply select the .gb or .gbc files to launch them). It does not show up in the "Browse Plugins" list. If you have any .sgb ROM files, you must rename them to .gb in order for them to work.

Keybindings

The keybindings used by Rockboy can be found in the Plugins chapter of your player's manual.

Open Bugs

Bug	Description
sprite palette	Sprites are not using the correct palette; caused by gnuboy not supporting a gb mode but only gbc mode, look at BGP / OBP0 / OBP1 and *_scan() functions, this causes some sprites to be displayed wrongly, like the guy in the house at the start of zelda: link's awakening

ROMs

Do not ask for Gameboy/Gameboy Color ROMs on the forums or IRC because it is illegal. Though you can find some legal homebrew and public domain ROMs here: http://www.pdroms.de/ and here: http://www.zophar.net/roms.phtml?op=show&type=gb
