SEE IT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4x0VL_EL9U (P.S. the menus have been overhauled since the video was recorded, but you have the core Gameplay and sound shown working across a variety of games in that demo video.)
UPDATE YOUR TERMINAL (for full fledged sound, you need SyncTerm 1.10a+ alpha / pre-release): https://syncterm.bbsdev.net <--- Download the latest build for your system
PLAY IT: telnet://futureland.today Games -> Lameboy
GRAB IT / INSTALL IT (should work on most BBS packages): https://github.com/hmderdoc/lameboy/releases

FEATURE OVERVIEW:
- SOUND: uses SyncTerm upcoming ALPHA feature called APC sound, download the latest nightly SyncTerm 1.10a pre-release to get it to work. (you may need go to "Build Options" for SyncTerm in the right panel and scrolling down to the Audio area select the engine for your system)
- RENDERING: Can use CP437 blocks or ASCII glyphs to render at various screen sizes, a 162 x 74 resolution gets you all the gameboy pixels. Adaptive to resizing while playing if your terminal supports that. Doesn't send more frames than user can handle or get out of sync with the game state.
- MULTIPLAYER - LIVE INTERBBS LOBBY: Supports certain GameBoy games over Link cable depending on how strict the game is at the protocol level. Games such as Pokemon gens 1 and 2 work and have been tested, Tetris too. Certain games have been found not to work and probably never will without a major redesign, such as Mario Tennis. Some games shouldn't work in principle, but testing outcomes were more positive than anticipated - such as Super Mario Bros with 2 simultaneous players, worked in my test.
- GAME BOY COLOR SUPPORT: fully supports gameboy color games and also applying palettes to original gameboy games how original GBC units did including ROM lookup for predefined palettes.
- GAME GENIE: Yeah, I guess they had a game genie for game boy. I added support for it, not sure how many codes are out there though.
- CONTROLS: multiple key handling using kitty style key protocols, this is also part of the SyncTerm alpha. Really what this enables is the ability to play platformers in a smooth way. Without this, it becomes very hard to say do a running diagonal jump over a hole. With it, no sweat, I've got a gamepad hooked up to my computer with the right mapping, and all the muscle memory from playing Super Mario Bros in 1985 is still valid. If you were playing an RPG like Pokemon, you'd probably never notice the control difference.
- LIBRARY MANAGEMENT: Responsive Gameboy style menu for easy navigation. Add all the ROMs to a folder and the game picks them up, run a bundled python script on the folder to fetch the art for game cover assets to serve at your menu as SIXEL or ANSI.
- INTELLIGENT SAVES: Each user gets their own save file per game.
- REMAINING TODOS: none.
- OUTSTANDING / DEFERRED WORK: 100% link cable coverage requires a total rewrite and an unproven approach.
- POTENTIAL FEATURES TO ADD (depending on adoption): 1. [more likely] Chatting over link cable (since those games were designed for people to be in the same room, none of the games account for remote users) 2. [less likely] Having some games use Shared save files potentially to create shared high score environments, or maybe scraping saves to create high score stuff.

Yeah I've got 1.10a debug - built today from git, and I don't have that sound engine in either, not in build options anyway, and if it was there, you can't actually tick/select it, that page is read only (at least for me).

Audio
[û] OSS
[ ] SDL
[û] ALSA
[ ] WASAPI
[û] PortAudio
[û] PipeWire
[û] PulseAudio
[ ] Core Audio
[û] libsndfile

That's what I do have, nothing more for audio.

The sh*t yer doing over there, man... while some won't love it - I DO.

we try to keep it futuristic at futureland - it used to be more ironic ... frickin anthropic and openAI throwing more advanced AI preview credits
than i can shake a stick at this weekend, had to blow the fable credits, lameboy's almost antiquated by Fable's frickin build of LameGear+++, it's
almost too powerful - i feel like a schizo announcing lameboy when lamegear+++ was just built today. that doesn't just do game gear, but Sega
SMS, SG-1000, Genesis plus NES, Super Nintendo, Gameboy advance and PC Engine / turbografx 16. Plus the two player works for all the couch systems
except Turbografx. also supports sixel in addition to text rendering for gameplay i buried it in a menu instead of autodetecting cause i dunno,
sixel is kinda like going into the uncanny valley for me. anyways, i'm off to ramble at claude a bit more about LameGear+++ cause not 100%
satisfied with sixel yet. lamegear+++ is not out yet though, hopefully my bbs server doesn't erupt before i push it to git, my enemies can still
stop me from releasing lamegear before it evolves sentience and kills us all

cheers!

Yeah, I have some credits and the fable preview but cannot think of anything that complicated that I really want to code right now. :( I had a few things a couple of months back, before the Fable freebee time, but don't now.

Maybe I will get creative and think of something before time runs out tomorrow. ;)

HM Derdoc rocks! Or at least his AI manipulation skills... Any way, that's availabe at shs. I only have all gamegear roms available so far!

Hm. I posted to test and local and netmail areas and it's good. It's only this message area that it's all goofed up in. I don't know what to say!
