Goomba Color (alpha 6), released 2006-02-17

Main Download

GBA Movie Player (GBAMP) Version

Source Code (for Programmers Only)

Drymouth by Demiforce (a great FREEWARE GBC game to play on Goomba Color!)

This is alpha version 6 of Goomba Color.
Savestates are still broken.

NOTE: This now includes a tool called GBCTRIM. It trims GBC roms.
DO NOT USE this on roms that aren't the full size, ie, already trimmed by another program.
NOT COMPATIBLE with the GBAMP version right now...
It's also not compatible with the outdated goomba builder tool that nobody has the source code to, sheesh, when will people learn that open source is the only way to go...


Changes between alpha 4 and alpha 6 of Goomba Color:
Code:

   Fixed MBC2 SRAM bugs
   Supports roms trimmed bank by bank (in non-GBAMP version)
   GBAMP version, with lots of aggressive memory management tweaks to increase performance


Known Issues: (yeah, I know this is a few months old...)
Code:

   Savestates are broken, therefore DISABLED in this version.
   Frames draw graphics from the future, sometimes looking glitchy
   Some games do not properly show graphics
   Timing may be off
   No mid-frame palette changing, so programs that use the so-called
     "hi-color" mode won't work.
     Millionaire also looks incorrect.


Todo:
Code:

   Fix Savestates
   Write VRAM and Tilemap at end of frame instead of during frame
   Add options to disable or force drawing sprites or background
   Add real HDMA
   Fix the broken games
   Add mid-screen palette changes


Note that this thread is locked to stop it from becoming a 13 page collosus like last time, so just make new threads in the goomba board to discuss this release.
