GameBoy emulator for SmileBASIC 4 running Super Mario Land 2

[@binarypench]

The game's not even already released in America, and ALREADY somone made an emulator for it. I'm honestly impressed with the software engineers in this world.

[@raichubender8995]

Thanks! It means a lot. I already had a head start, actually. :) I bought puchikon4 before it was localized, because I couldn't wait to see how much was improved since SmileBASIC 3 on 3DS.

[@dejiko]

This is mind boggling, such an amazing tool. I want to get this and learn to use it.

[@TRDiscordian]

Absolutely awesome dude. Did you run into any surprises / pitfalls in development? I can't imagine making something like this in SB4, just making my esolang interpreter was a ride.

[@heredos4666]

you should ask some help from calc84maniac. he is known for his gameboy emulators for the ti-ce. i also know he owned smilebasic3 because he posted some programs on the old smilebasicsource

[@p_yoshi]

epic, an emu without cfw or web browser. i wonder if this will work on the free demo in the japanese eshop since you can download a thing every 8 hours lol

[@raichubender8995]

Not sure. Might give it a try on a different profile.

[@p_yoshi]

@Maxblau I think you're limited to downloading and writing programs but I forgot if there was a limit or anything. You could probably google translate the dialogue that pops up when you start the demo to know for sure

[@gabaplayer4771]

Awesome

[@nicholaskroeplin81]

Next thing I know SmileBASIC 4 will have the homebrew launcher

[@jayevin]

Would you be able to release the code for this program?

[@raichubender8995]

Yes. You can follow me on Twitter @raichubender for more frequent updates.

[@TheCoolEevee]

Is there a way to make it run at normal speed? Maybe by decreasing frames?

[@zulc22]

HOW the hell...

[@derpmany2090]

Yo, very nice

You just earned a sub

[@raichubender8995]

Thanks, mate :D

@@raichubender8995 post updates!

[@raichubender8995]

I will! Currentlt cleaning up the code and debugging a lot of nasty hidden bugs. Aiming to have this ready when SB4 releases in the west, but I do have quite a ways to go, so I probably wont make it in time. Still, I'm happy I got it to actually play a few games like this one without crashing at all!

@@raichubender8995 how did you load the roms?

[@raichubender8995]

​@@andrewwojtas8486 I'm still looking for an easy way. I'm currently using Petit4Send. It's very slow though, and you need to have two microcontrollers for it to work. EDIT: I'll probably post like a guide or a video on how to do it.

[@andrewwojtas8486]

Was this for the switch version?

[@raichubender8995]

Yeah, it's the Switch version. I started working on this on the 3DS version, but never got quite far with it. Finally happy to make big progress!

[@Crazeworld]

is the released yet if it is whats the key

[@raichubender8995]

Sorry about the radio silence on my part. Lost all motivation after losing momentum with it due to family issues. I will return in full swing very soon with hopefully a hot new release. I'm very excited to work on it again. Stay tuned!

[@gnaurai6251]

why is it so slow?

[@TRDiscordian]

I couldn't even get my esolang in full speed in SB4, it's amazing the emulator is running at a playable speed at all tbh.
