On bank switching, copies the bank into GameBoy memory.

Bug corrected on reading color info from tile data.

Support for Chrome/Chromium putImageData (weird!).

Now itвЂ™s much more accurate (and slower) it has pallete support, X/Y flipping, transparency and sprite priority.

Rewrited the whole LCD controller emulation.

Added a Caller Stack, this makes debugging a lot easier.

HALT instruction (the weird-IME-off behavior is not emulated).

Renaming functions and variables to keep a вЂњProgramming StyleвЂќ.

Window display over background (seems to work in вЂSpace InvadersвЂ™ or вЂBubble GhostвЂ™ intros).

This makes faster code (and easier to maintain).

CPU emulation: using вЂњmacrosвЂќ for similar instructions.

DAA instruction (stolen from VisualBoyAdvance).

Auto-repeated keys caused emulation to freeze.

Now the framerate is limited by setInterval (one frame is painted every 17ms).

Supports scanline effects, sprite priority, palettes, accurate timingвЂ¦.

Almost everything is emulated, except sound.

Integrated debugger (with disassembler, memory viewer, cpu registersвЂ¦).

Works perfect with Google Chrome (even on a simple netbook).

LetвЂ™s check out some of the features and the changes. To play with this emulator go to the homepage. As I become more aware of Java based emulators I will test them out and report back here at Mac Emulators.

This is great for those of you who donвЂ™t want to install anything on your computer or are trying to kill time at work. With Safari I was able to get a whopping 59 FPS on average, with a max of 60 FPS. In Firefox I got an average of 22 frames per second, with a max of 23 FPS. Mario, Bomberman, KirbyвЂ™s Dream Land, Space Invaders, Motocross Maniacs, Bomb Jack, Bubble Ghost, Boxxle 2, Drop Zone, Castelian, Serpent, and Centipede. The emulator runs Mario Land, Tetris, Dr. I did sign up for Chrome updates from Google today so, IвЂ™m hoping to have a physical copy soon. It recommends Google Chrome however, I donвЂ™t have that browser to test it with.

I know this isnвЂ™t a native Mac OSX emulator but, it will run in both Firefox and Safari for Mac.

The Java GameBoy Emulator JSGB by Pedro Ladaria saw an update today.

To download grab it from the Box File Widget or go to the Gameguha Home Page. Sprites still have some room for optimization. Also, throttling is turned on by default now. Window drawing! ItВґs slow, but IВґll optimize that later. Also, performing the interrupt check every opcode instead of every scanline has a small performance hit, but gives better emulation accuracy on some games so IВґm leaving it for now.ДЄllow reverting back to slow background rendering for games that swap tile maps intra-frame. I was not able to use my controller, but I reckon that with a keyboard mapping utility it might be possible. Seemed to run glitch free other than the lack of sound.

I also have Ubuntu installed using rEFIt but, that is a story for another day. I was able to run Mega Man V using my Macbook Pro, which is running the new Snow Leopard operating system. It will run on any machine with JVM installed. It runs Gameboy and they are hoping it will eventually emulate Gameboy Color. There was an update to a Java emulator created for a Computer Science class at the University of Central Florida and I was able to give it a go with my Mac.
