This app is a Game Boy emulator that runs on the NumWorks calculator. It is based off of the Peanut-GB emulator.
To install this app, you'll need to:
- Download the latest
peanutgb.nwafile from the Releases page - Extract a
cartridge.gbROM dump from your GameBoyt cartridge, or, alternatively, use the providedsrc/flappyboy.gbfile. - Head to my.numworks.com/apps to send the
nwafile on your calculator along thegbfile.
The controls are pretty obvious because the GameBoy's gamepad looks a lot like the NumWorks' keyboard:
| Game Boy controls | NumWorks |
|---|---|
| Arrow | Arrows |
| A | Back |
| B | OK |
| Select | Shift |
| Start | Backspace |
The following keys will change the behavior of the emulator:
| Key | Behavior |
|---|---|
| 1 | Use the original Game Boy color palette |
| 2 | Use a pure grayscale palette |
| 3 | Use an inverted grayscale palette |
| + | Render on the entire screen |
| - | Render at a 1:1 scale |
To build this sample app, you will need to install the embedded ARM toolchain and nwlink.
brew install numworks/tap/arm-none-eabi-gcc node # Or equivalent on your OS
npm install -g nwlink
make clean && make build
