Welcome to the hastily constructed home of WAC gnuboyCE, a minor update/enhanced port of the gnuboy CE. This particular port is based off of Xetra's sources. These have been updated to the latest 1.0.3 gnuboy sources.
News
March 30, 2003: Version 1.0.3-0.4 Released. A touch more speed, better frame skipping and audio synchronisation (less crackling). Settings can now also be saved in the registry.
March 18, 2003: Version 1.0.3-0.3 Released. SPEED TEST RELEASE. I have hooked the GAPI drawing code into the line by line drawing system instead of copying from a framebuffer. Please let me know how the speed goes. Autoframeskipping is still erratic, but should be better. For more smooth gameplay, I would recommend using a set frameskip.
March 14, 2003: Version 1.0.3-0.2 Released. Zip support is now FIXED. You can now change the number of sound buffers under the Audio/Buffers menu from 8/16/24. Higher values should eliminate popping/crackling sound when the emulator falls below 60FPS, but can allow the sound to fall behind further.
March 14, 2003: Fortunecity mysteriously deleted this account. Uploads are in progress.
March 13, 2003: Added source code zip
March 12, 2003: First public release

gnuboy CE installerVersion 1.0.3-0.2 March 14/2003 (~653 kB): Installer made using EZSetup. Includes builds for ARM, SH3 and MIPS. Please note that this has only been tested on the Pocket PC Emulator and my colour iPAQ H3600 Pocket PC running Windows CE 3.0 (NOT Pocket PC 2002). I haven't had a chance to look at the Pocket PC 2002 SDK. THEREFORE - Your mileage may vary.
Features
A couple of notable additions:
Auto frame-skipping
SRAM (battery backed RAM), real time clock saving on exit
Can change the sample rate from 11Khz/22kHz/44kHz, Mono/Stereo sound
uncompressed ROMS and SRAM take almost no memory to load. Memory footprint of gnuboyCE is now around 300k!
handles losing focus better - appointment notifications, etc. should no longer hang or confuse gnuboy CE
slightly better performance - I easily get 60FPS with frame skip hovering between 1-3 at 240x216 (Anti-aliasing on, 22kHz sound Mono)
WHATSNEW-gnuboyCE.txt: An attempt to commit my changes to paper before I forgot them all. Not guaranteed to be complete, but most of what has been changed is in there.
Please e-mail me at gnuboyce@dnahelix.org. I welcome bug reports, reports that things are working (especially if it isn't on an iPaq H3600 series), comments and suggestions.
