| Release Notes ------------------------------------------------- |

| |
| What's New! |
| ------ ---- |
| |
| Version 1.5 (22/12/00) |
| ----------- |
| |
| -Frameskip implemented - Boob!boy should now be faster with only a |
| small amount of frameskipping noticeable. |
| For example, Super Mario Land without doubt now runs at FULL SPEED. |
| -Super Gameboy Support added |
| -Fixed a memory problem that meant memory wasn't being freed up after |
| the game was exited and hence when you had played 4/5 games the dc |
| would run out of memory and crash. You should now be able to play as |
| many different games as you want without having to reset the dc! |
| -Swapped around A and B keys to make it more like a real gameboy! |
| -New menus - a license screen is now displayed explaining that |
| Boob!boy is not licensed or endorsed by Sega. |
| Also a menu screen has been implemented which currently only features |
| a play game option... (pretty pointless at the moment then!) |
| -Made game-select screen more user-friendly by speeding up page-select|
| and game-select movements |
| -Fixed bug causing a delay before loading the game to be played |
| -Implemented load from file functions saving much-needed memory... |
| This also has resulted in a speed-up in the emulation since Video Ram |
| can now be used for more important tasks! |
| -Found and "zapped" other little bugs in the code, which although |
| didn't cause any problems in current versions would have done so in |
| the future. |
| |
| Version 1.1a (17/12/00) |
| ------- --- |
| | |
| -Up to 2000 gameboy games now supported on one cd! |
| -Fixed a bug that caused Boob!boy to crash when more than 999 games |
| were loaded onto a cd. |
| |
| Version 1.1 |
| ------- --- |
| |
| Controller fixes: |
| - "down" works! :) |
| - switched to D-pad |
| - holding button down works (i.e. Mario jumps properly/higher now) |
| |
| Other fixes: |
| - Files can have the ".gb" extension now -- no renaming required. |
| |
| Version 1.0 |
| ------- --- |
| |
| First Version - slight problems with controllers in-game |
| No sound / No super gameboy support |
| |
| |
| How to burn Boob!boy: |
| ===================== |
| 1) Extract the supplied Boobboy.zip file into an empty directory. |
| 2) Put any GameBoy games into the ROMS directory. (They can have an |
| extension of .GB or .GBC.) |
| 3) Burn everything to a cd, making sure that the /wince and /roms |
| directories are also burnt. Be sure to burn as Mode 1/CDROM, not |
| Mode 2/XA! You can do multisession if you want and add additional |
| ROMs to the disc in a later session. |
| 4) Turn on the dreamcast, insert bootcd, insert Boob!boy cd and enjoy!|
| |
| Instructions / Controls: |
| ============================ |
| Press the Start button to pass through the 3 splash screens |
| |
| At the Main Menu selection screen, merely press Start to "Play Game" |
| |
| Once at the Game selection menu, pressing UP and DOWN on the D-pad |
| will allow you to move the Blue Selection Box up and down through |
| the games. LEFT and RIGHT on the D-pad will allow you to move |
| through the pages of games. |
| |
| Once you have decided on which game you would like to play press |
| Start to begin playing it! Note that you may need to hold the Start |
| button down briefly to start the game loading. You should then see |
| the Boob!boy loading screen... GameBoy black & white games take |
| almost no time to load, whereas 4mb colour games will obviously give |
| you the chance to enjoy the splendour of the loading screen! |
| |
| In-game controls are as follows: |
| Dreamcast D-PAD = Gameboy D-PAD |
| Dreamcast A button = Gameboy B Button |
| Dreamcast B button = Gameboy A Button |
| Dreamcast Start button = Gameboy Start Button |
| Dreamcast X button = Gameboy Select Button |
| |
| Press the Dreamcast Y button to take you back to the game select |
| screen! |
