This is just proof of concept at the moment, but I tried adding grayscale (it makes it quite a bit slower, but could possibly be improved in the future). I guess it's just to show myself it could be done. :P

Hmm, I was thinking if that could be possible since you posted this project. For cut scenes, it is a bit slow but not bad.

will we be allowed to turn grayscale off, though?

Yeah, I'm going to keep it in b&w until I see enough speed to add the option of grayscale.

Well, I have now greatly improved the rendering at 100% zoom (and by that I mean only rendering what's actually going to be on the screen, and not rendering the whole Game Boy screen just to toss a lot of it out). It can now run pretty well with minimal frameskip (displaying every third frame), which really smooths things out, as the following screenshot demonstrates:


I think it would be quite possible to get grayscale with a larger frameskip (that is, close to the previous frameskip value).

oh yeah I forgot to ask this the last time, I was unsure if you had the stuff out of screen rendered or not. I was unsure but I thought if you didn't rendered it it would improve speed greatly. Glad it did. As for sound, when disabled, is the speed gain still minimal?

Keep up the good work :)

Yeah, sound still uses very little cpu time.

on a side note, I wonder if this was alerady asked (I might even have asked it myself), but do you think it will be hard to support homebrew roms if you get most commercial games to work?

Yeah I was kinda wondering about homebrew myself seeing that I was starting to take interest in GBA programming.

I suppose so, as long as they don't use any weird optimizations or hardware quirks.
