AmigaVGB_PPC
------------
This is the first release of AmigaVGB PPC! It is a recompile with some changes of
AmigaVGB (for 68k) on Aminet. Compared with AmigaVGB running on a 060, AmigaVGB PPC
has a GREAT speed (even faster than a Gameboy!)..
Usage
-----
If you want to run a .gb-file, you must use the following syntax:
runelf AmigaVGB_CGX.elf CR=<your .gb-file here>
or just double-click the PPC-icon for an ASL-Requester!
If the emulator is too fast for you, make the window larger or play
around with the options (enter "runelf AmigaVGB_CGX.elf ?" for help..)..
Keys
----
Press the help-key when you are inside the emulator!
Limitations/Requirements
------------------------
- only runs on PowerUP-boards ;-)
- *** you need version 45.5 or better of the ppc.library, get it ***
from ftp://ftp.phase5.de/pub/phase5/ppc
- it might need CyberGfx V3 .. don`t know whether CGX V2 or P96 works..
- you can only set the .gb-file .. other parameters can`t be set YET
- quite "slow", as pure ANSI-C without any assembler-source-code .. therefore
portable (also read VGB.doc inside Misc/ ..) An OPTIMIZED version (I won`t
do it ;-) might get _a lot more_ speed, so if this port of VGB only runs
bit faster than an original gameboy, then this is not the fault of PowerUP
or the PowerUP-software, it`s because pure ANSI-C-code is used for emulation!
- faster than any GameBoy-emulator on an 68060 .. once again (Power)Amiga rulez!
