Build Status

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.

TONC bigmap.gba demo

Using the REPL

You need to have rust installed, and somehow legally obtain a gba bios binary.

$ cargo run -- debug

Debugger REPL Demo

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.
