Original Gameboy Emulation

Hey people! Just looking for some advice on emulating the original monochrome Gameboy. All I can seem to find is Gameboy Advance and Gameboy Colour emulators. Any advice??? Cheers!!

couldn't you use a GBA or GBC emulator, those should work with old gameboy roms. Then you could set the colors to black and white.

VBA works fine. I even made a Gameboy skin for mine.

Could you make that available? I like it!

I use VisualBoy Advance. It plays GBA games using the "File->Open" menu. It plays Gameboy Color AND Original games with the "File->Open Gameboy" option.

Dunno if you're interested, but lameboy on the DS is fantastic.

Visualboy advance does a good job of working the DMG. But then, I don't havea wide range of games on it, so I don't know about any problems it may have either.

Thanks for the replies, I'll give VBA a shot and see how I go. While I've got you, any suggestions on the best place to get the emulator and roms?

Rather than bother trying to remember what files are part of the skin, I just zipped up my copy of VBA (skin included).

 

VisualBoyAdvance-1.7.2.zip

Awesome thanks.

Well you can download VBA from user42's post above or from the website I linked in my previous post.

 

As for ROMS we can't discuss that on the site. Any semi-decent web search will find them though.

I think I got mine from, though they do have their own site.

 

Oopse, the above poster already linked the emu itself... I haven't checked, but I believe that is the latest version.
