## Emulation Todo:
* CGB audio (4 wave generator channels)
# Build and usage (Desktop Application)
To get started, you need to get a [stable rust toolchain](https://rustup.rs) of version Rust 1.51 or later,
## Linux build dependencies
Install SDL2 dependencies
```bash
sudo apt-get -y install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev
```
## Windows build dependencies
SDL2 runtime binaries are included in this repository, no extra setup needed.
## Build & Usage
You need to obtain a gba bios binary.
An [open source GBA bios](https://github.com/Nebuleon/ReGBA/blob/master/bios/gba_bios.bin) is also available and supported.
Place the bios file in the repository root and name it `gba_bios.bin` (or alternatively use the `-b` command line option)
Build and run in release mode (performance is terrible in the `dev` profile)
```bash
$ cargo run --release -- path/to/rom
```
You can also drag&drop rom files or any zip files containing `.gba` files inside into the emulator window and a new rom will be loaded.
## Key bindings
> Currently the key bindings are not configureable.
GBA key bindings:
| Keyboard | GBA |

| F2 | Spawn gdbserver (experimetnal, requires --features gdb) |
| F5 | Save snapshot file |
| F9 | Load snapshot file |
# Android Application
The android project is placed inside `platform/android`.
To build it, open it with Android Studio.
You also need to set up rust to build android targets with NDK.
