TODO: (fbcat doesn't grab opengles apps apparently?)

==Controls==
To select a rom, just tap on it in the rom selector. 
Note that if you have more roms than fit on the screen, simply scroll to them. 

These are the current controls (while playing): 
WASD --Up/left/down/right. 
K --B 
L--A 
Q--L 
P--R 
enter--start 
space--select 
@--turbo 
orange+s (minus)--toggle displaying emulation speed
orange+L (quote)--change scaling filter 
orange+@ (zero)--change orientation 
. (period)--snapshot 
t -- start/select/a/b all at once 
<nowiki>*</nowiki> (orange+z/asterisk *orange+y for german qwertz Pre) --toggle sound for speed (particularly GBA) 

== Feature Requests/TODO ==
Here's a list of feature requests I'm aware of and/or things I plan to do.
* Use type:game instead of upstart launcher.
* ALSA instead of pulseaudio
* Add ability to customize controls
* Add on-screen controls
** Portrait: controls can go off the screen (below, move image up)
** Landscape: if you can resolve the alpha blending performance issues, make that happen!
* Zip rom support
* "Go back to rom chooser" menu
* save state support
* Create /save folder for .sav files (battery-backed RAM save info), instead of placing .sav in the /roms folder
* More Scaling options, particularly 1:1 (no scaling)
* Better performance on GBA!!
** See iphone/GP2X ports and their ARM optimizations! (dynarec?)

==Known issues==
* Poor performance in GBA. Try disabling sound (press '*'/orange+z)
* Audio doesn't seem to be fully disabled (you won't hear anything, but Pulseaudio is still doing a little work)
* Occasionally crashes when minimized
* Notifications always appear as if in landscape

== Changelog ==
* 1.0.3 Added toggle for displaying emulation speed to help compatability reports
* 1.0.2 Small metadata fix.
* 1.0.1 Small performance boost, public release!
* 1.0.0 Initial release (testing feed). Reimplemented rendering engine, rom selector.

== Compatibility List==
This is a list of games and how well they run.
PLEASE include a version number (on rom selector) when adding entries!
To see the emulation speed percentage, hit orange+s while playing (as of 1.0.3).

NES and GameBoy Emulators

2009-12-06T20:42:56Z

Glorifiedg:

== Introduction ==

After some talk in Precentral, some of us agreed that this easier setup should go on the wiki. This method will allow you to play Gameboy and NES roms on the Pre without knowing almost anything of Linux. 

For the complete process go to [[Application:Gnuboy|GnuBoy]] setup and [[Nintendo|NES]] setup.

== Getting Started ==

First of all, you'll need to install Nodoze and Terminal apps, available on [[Preware|Preware]]. Then go [http://forums.precentral.net/canuck-software/206905-webos-quick-install-v2-9-a.html here] and download WebOS Quick Install.

== Setup ==

# Download this [http://www.megaupload.com/?d=2GD0QL6S package]
# Open the rar and you'll see 2 files: debiansmall.img and deb.sh
# Unrar debiansmall.img to your Pre's USB Drive and deb.sh to your desktop.
# Open WebOS Quick Install and send the deb.sh to /var/home/root/ by selecting "Tools" "Send File"
# Open Nodoze and then Terminal app
# Type chmod 755 ./deb.sh
# Type ./deb.sh in the terminal and press enter

== ROMS ==

First mount the debian image by going to Terminal app and type ./deb.sh and press enter. 
Then, the easier way is to open WebOS Quick Install, select "Tools" "Send File" select your rom and send it to "Destination Folder": /media/cf/

== Usage ==

# Everytime you want to play, activate Nodoze and open the terminal app.
# Type ./deb.sh and press enter.
## To play gameboy games type ./gb.sh romname.gbc OR, for playing with no sound, type ./nosnd.sh romname.gbc - Press enter.
## To play NES games type ./nes.sh romname.nes and press enter.

The default keys are: 
Up- W 
Down- S 
Left- A 
Right- D 
B- J 
A- K 
Start- Enter 

To quit press the orange key.

== Troubleshooting ==

Fot those who are having sound problems, simple type inside the debian chroot: 
apt-get install libsdl1.2debian-all 
Press Enter 

== Contributions ==

dudestatus, of course, and all the Precentral Forum guys.

|The Pre runs a very standard Linux on a commonly available processor. Very soon after access was achieved to the Linux, the Optware team made the entire catalog of Optware packages available on the pre.

More about the Optware project here: [http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Packages Optware Packages].

You can view a list of available packages here: [http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/unstable/ List of Packages].

The community has been busy porting other applications to the Pre. Some of those are listed, and have pages for them below.

== Want to write a tutorial and Add it? ==

Just name the tutorial with

"Tutorials Linux " + name

Ex: Tutorials_Linux_Getting_Started 
(spaces are the same thing as underscores)

|column2=
== Policies about adding Applications ==

Your application can be any progress (Completed/Beta/Design Phase), just make sure you have a temporary name. For example if your application is called "Testing This":

<source lang="text">
{{portal-application-item
|name=Asteroids
|article=Asteroids
|user=AWESOM-O
|site=http://domain.com/asteroids/
|description=This is a short description, leave screenshots
and other details for the application page.

}}
</source>

Place this under the [[Portal:Linux Applications All|All Linux Application Portal]], and the category it goes under (for instance "Games" if it is a game). You can always change the applications name just make sure it is not taken and let us know on the [[Admin_Changes|Admin Changes]] page so we can delete the old application page (so others can use it).

== Introduction ==

After some talk in Precentral, some of us agreed that this easier setup should go on the wiki. This method will allow you to play Gameboy and NES roms on the Pre without knowing almost anything of Linux. 

For the complete process go to [GnuBoy [http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Gnuboy]] setup and [NES[http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Nintendo]] setup.

== Getting Started ==

First of all, you'll need to install Nodoze and Terminal apps, available on [Preware [http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Preware]]. Then go here:[http://forums.precentral.net/canuck-software/206905-webos-quick-install-v2-9-a.html] and download WebOS Quick Install.

== Setup ==

# Download this package:
# Open the rar and you'll see 2 files: debiansmall.img and deb.sh
# Unrar debiansmall.img to your Pre's USB Drive and deb.sh to your desktop.
# Open WebOS Quick Install and send the deb.sh to /var/home/root/ by selecting "Tools" "Send File"
# Open Nodoze and then Terminal app
# Type chmod 755 ./deb.sh
# Type ./deb.sh in the terminal and press enter

== ROMS ==

First mount the debian image by going to Terminal app and type ./deb.sh and press enter. 
Then, the easier way is to open WebOS Quick Install, select "Tools" "Send File" select you rom and send it to "Destination Folder": /media/cf/

== Usage ==

# Everytime you want to play, activate Nodoze and open the terminal app.
# Type ./deb.sh and press enter.
## To play gameboy games type ./gb.sh romname.gbc OR, for playing with no sound, type ./nosnd.sh romname.gbc - Press enter.
## To play NES games type ./nes.sh romname.nes and press enter.

The default keys are: 
Up- W 
Down- S 
Left- A 
Right- D 
B- J 
A- K 
Start- Enter 

To quit press the orange key.
