I think it would, the boot logo screen is where you select the palette for monochrome GB games on a real GBC/GBA. The GameBoy logo changes colors to preview which of the 12 palettes you are selecting, then boots the game when you release the d-pad.

The palette feature aside, I agree it's nice to have the original boot screen in an emulator, helps add the feelings of authenticity and nostalgic experience.  ;)  You can see the difference it makes when you use the official bios with other emulators like ReGBA and PSX4all.

Hey guys,

I've been playing the first Batman game for Game Boy. But I've noticed whenever you run out of all your lives and it's game over, the game stops and quits out of OhBoy.

Also, I've tried the same rom on OpenEmu for my mac and it shows the continue screen fine when you run out of lives.

Can someone explain that? Would be cool to get it working on OhBoy.


Thanks
L

interesting, this was one of the first games i played all the way through on the gcw though i did use save states so never noticed the crashing.  but testing it now it does in fact happen.  i'm just glad its fully playable unlike metal gear ???

I'm not thinking about any update right now. Ohboy is a nice emulator, but it is based on GnuBoy, which does quite a low-quality emulation and has issues with some games. Gambatte is a way more accurate and compatible emulator. And the sound is way better, too.

I may do some update in the future, but right now Ohboy is low-priority in the To-Do list of my life.

I found a copy of Gambatte off the net somewhere, and I will upload you a copy here on mediafire since its hard to find as it is. It look me a while to find it since it's hard to find complied software for the GCW Zero that is not found on the repository or release list here that is ready without having to do it yourself which I have no idea, and would love to learn. Even the OPK packer which I used for the .dge file I found for Gambatte refused to boot on the GCW Zero.

Batman doesn't quit in Gambatte after losing all lives in that emulator though. Personally I just patch a rom with a game genie code patcher like game genie guy to have infinity lives to fix the problem so I never would have to see the screen, but that is me.

Warning: Most software there is extremely outdated (think ~2012).

Just wondering if OhBoy is still being worked on, as there hasn't been an update (or an indication of one) in a while

There aren't updates if there isn't new code.

What is there to update?

I don't even know what else is needed to add to this emulator. It's practically perfect.  ;)

Is there any way to force GBC colors on a GB game? (some way to make this ROM hack work: http://hax.iimarck.us/topic/2967/)

Not sure, but try changing the extension of the rom to .gbc

I found a bug: when you have scaling previously set to Scale3x+Sample.75x, quit the emulator, then reopen it and start a game, the colors are distorted.


If you go into settings, then hit "apply", the correct colors will be displayed again. I've found it only happens when you already have the scaler set when you start OhBoy and affects both gb and gbc games.
