BGB Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Am unable to play.

  We tend to recommend bgb to play Prism. You can find it here. It's a Windows-native application but it does run under WINE for macOS and Linux. Source: about 1 year ago

• Found my (still working!) USB cartridge with LSDJ from around 2008 - it's mostly garbage music, but I thought I'd share this track I salvaged from it.

  I would suggest using BGB as an emulator as it is the most accurate. https://bgb.bircd.org/ (windows only). Source: about 1 year ago

• Droid Bishop and Magic Sword played live in Vienna yesterday and I opened for them with a Synthwave chiptune set on my Game Boy

  Pleasure. Also, you probably know it but the DS has Korg DS-10 which is pretty powerful too and quite cool. BTW if you want to check it out first on your computer my fav GB emulator is BGB https://bgb.bircd.org/ and you can load LSDJ in there easily! Source: over 1 year ago

• Playing Pokemon Crystal on a physical GBC, using BGB emulator save

  I've just purchased a vintage GBC and I'd love to be able to play my Pokemon Crystal save games - created while playing Crystal on a BGB emulator - on the physical thing 😃. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Where do you go to play this game?

  You have to use a GBC emulator, for Android I suggest Pizza Boy (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.dbtecno.pizzaboy), for PC, BGB (http://bgb.bircd.org/) 😁👍 have fun! Source: about 2 years ago

• Why are game makers creating new Game Boy games in 2021?

  The GB emulators most commonly for homebrew development are the following. They all have debuggers and a high level of accuracy. Emulicious has C source debugging when using VSCode (or Sublime Text, though that's not yet released.) * BGB - http://bgb.bircd.org * Emulicious - https://emulicious.net * SameBoy - https://sameboy.github.io. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Can’t Believe I Pulled This Fresh 'Zard

  While I can't help with direct links to ROMs, you can apply the English translation patch to a Japanese ROM of the game using the Lunar IPS patching program, then play it on any Game Boy emulator like VBA-M, BGB, mGBA, etc. Source: over 2 years ago

• I made a new GB game that (finally!) rewards people who own more than one Game Boy model at home!

  But you can also play it on an emulator like BGB (https://bgb.bircd.org/) that allow you to configure which GB model you are playing with (GBC, GB Pocket, DMG, etc.). So instead of unplugging and plugging an actual, you'll simply have to modify the emulator settings and reset the emulator to "switch" from one GB to another (more details about this on the game webpage: https://drludos.itch.io/gb-corp).

• I made a new GB game that (finally!) rewards people who own more than one Game Boy model at home!

  Yes of course, you can play it on emulators too. I recommend BGB, as it's the closest to real hardware, and you can easily "switch" from one GB model to another: http://bgb.bircd.org/. Source: over 2 years ago

• Am I crazy or does this label look like it isn’t worn out but has like some shmutz on it? It looks like dried cheese not a worn label lmao.

  Game Boy emulation requires a toaster as much. Try to use BGB emulator: https://bgb.bircd.org/. Source: over 2 years ago

• Bi-Weekly Questions Thread

  Bgb is a gb/gbc emulator with link support. I haven't tried it myself but it's something to look into. it looks like it might work over internet too. Source: over 2 years ago

• Good GameBoy Emulator for OBS Streamlabs on Macbook Air frame lag

  BGB Emulator it's the best Gameboy Classic and Color emulator but you need run it with wine. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Emulator for Laptop

  The best PC emulator to use with Crystal Clear is BGB: http://bgb.bircd.org/ (effectively 1:1 with real consoles) Don't use any variant of VBA, these all have frequent graphical errors. Source: almost 3 years ago

• What should I download to start making chiptune?

  You can run it on Windows in bgb, which is an accurate GB emulator which supports multi-channel recording, so you can record your channels separately and mix them together in a DAW (logic Pro, Ableton) if you want: bgb. Source: about 3 years ago
