------- GodBoyX ------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --( What is GBX ? )------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GBX is the brand new GameBoy emulator from the ReservoirGods. It is the replacement for GodBoy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --( What's Improved ? )--------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The majority of the emulation system has been totally rewritten using techniques discovered during the development of GodleNES. The Z80 core has been vastly improved due to a new memory management system. This speeds things up a great deal. The video chip emulation has been totally recoded. The whole system now runs in 256 colour mode, but this allows me to draw sprites without masking, and clear them quickly which adds to the performance. Full sprite clipping is now implemented, so, for example, you can now see MegaMan go behind the clouds when he battles Air-Man! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --( What's New ? )-------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By popular demand we now have both CinemaScope and Double-Line modes! This can be toggled in real-time at any point during gameplay! As well as the full colour mode, their is option for a grey-scaled display to give you an authentic GameBoy flavour! You also get the classic 'reset' option so you can restart games without quitting GBX. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --( How do you control it ? )--------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can use either Keyboard or Jaguar PowerPads. +--------------+--------+ | Keyboard | JagPad | +-------------+--------------+--------+ | UP | Cursor Up | Up | +-------------+--------------+--------+ | DOWN | Cursor Down | Down | +-------------+--------------+--------+ | LEFT | Cursor Left | Left | +-------------+--------------+--------+ | RIGHT | Cursor Right | Right | +-------------+--------------+--------+ | A | Alternate | Fire A | +-------------+--------------+--------+ | B | Left Shift | Fire B | +-------------+--------------+--------+ | START | Help | Pause | +-------------+--------------+--------+ | SELECT | Undo | Option | +-------------+--------------+--------+ | SAVE | S | * | +-------------+--------------+--------+ | LOAD | L | # | +-------------+--------------+--------+ | CINEMASCOPE | 1 | 1 | +-------------+--------------+--------+ | DOUBLE-LINE | 2 | 2 | +-------------+--------------+--------+ | MONO/COLOUR | 3 | 3 | +-------------+--------------+--------+ | CLIPPING | 4 | 4 | +-------------+--------------+--------+ | QUIT | * | | +-------------+--------------+--------+ To 'reset' the GameBoy game, press: A+B+START+SELECT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --( What is CinemaScope ? )----------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CinemaScope is technique for horizontally stretching pixels. It was pioneered in demos like Inter's "Terrorise Your Soul". It makes each pixel 20% fatter giving a bigger, clearer view area. CinemaScope is RGB only. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --( What is Double-Line mode ? )------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Double Line mode is technique for vertically doubling pixels. It is used in every demo ever! This gives a picture that is twice as high as normal. Overscan mode is used to fit the whole image on screen. Double-Line mode is RGB only. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --( When can I save my game ? )------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can load and save at any point during the game. The game save file will be stored in the current directory -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --( Who is responsible for this ? )--------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Programming : MrPink Music : MSG Graphics : sh3 DSP Replay : Tat of Avena Also thanks to Evil of Dead Hackers Society for supplying new Videl routines. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --( How do I contact the Reservoir Gods ? )------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can e-mail us: MrPink : mrpink.rg@zetnet.co.uk sh3 : sh3@zetnet.co.uk MSG : msg_rg@hotmail.com Ripley : ripley_rg@hotmail.com Or send us a letter: Leon O'Reilly .
