CPPBOY is a simple gameboy emulator written in C++ and is based on my depricated CPPBOY project. This project was started mainly to learn more about the way computers work. I chose the gameboy since it provides a good balance between difficulty and fun. The project is still very much work in progress and any help is welcome.
To be able to build the CPPBOY-revised project you should have the following libaries installed:
- SFML 2.5.1 or newer
Building the CPPBOY-revised executable also requires you to have the latest version of Make and CMake installed on your computer.
Clone the CPPBOY repository
git clone https://github.com/robbelbobel/cppboy-revised
Navigate to the CPPBOY repository
cd cppboy-revised
Create a build folder and open it
mkdir build
cd build
Initialize the build folder using cmake
cmake ..
Build the application with make
make
The emulator should be executed in the terminal by using the following command:
./cppboy [ROMPATH]
The emulator is unable to boot without a correct ROM path.
