Releasing my previously-teased fork of budude2’s GB/GBC core, now with cheats.

OpenFPGA

So the core:

The helper app is just a small python/tkinter app to make the connection between the libretro chest database and the stuff on your Pocket SD card/preloading cheats for cartridges.

The helper app that hasn’t been verified on anything but Linux, but works in Wine and builds for Windows and macOS. They were a “if it works it works” last minute thing.

I’ve now played halfway through my original Oracle of Ages and Links Awakening DX, on this killer screen. That is all I’ve wanted from this device since I picked it up at release.

This will probably nuke the childhood save you have been holding onto for 30 years.

Send any legitimate complaints at the git repos and all the illegitimate ones here.
