# RustBoyAdvance-NG
|
|

|
[](https://travis-ci.com/michelhe/rustboyadvance-ng)
|
|
|
|
RustBoyAdvance-NG Nintendo GameBoy Advance emulator and debugger, written in the rust programming language.
|
|
|
|
Currently passing armwrestler tests, and displays some of TONC's Demos.
|

|
|
# Using the REPL
|
|
|
|
You need to have rust installed, and somehow legally obtain a gba bios binary.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cargo run -- debug
|
|
```
|
|
|

# Why is this project needed ?
|
|
|
|
It's actually **not**. There are quite a lot of GBA emulators, ~~and even some written in rust~~. Actually, I couldn't find any game capable emulators written in rust.
|
|
|
|
I'm only doing this as a side project intended for learning rust.
|
|
|
|
This is my *third* take on this project. My first go at this was about 3 years ago, but I didn't like rust much at the time so it got abandoned.
|
|
I tried to resurrect it a year ago but didn't have the time to get invested in a side-project, let alone learning rust.
|
|
|
|
I've grown to like rust a lot since then, so here we go again.
|
|
You know what they say, *third time's a charm*.
