LLBoy

• GameBoy emulator utilizing LLVM for translating GameBoy bytecode to native
• Sources at https://github.com/NTmatter/LLBoy
• More detailed documentation at http://www.axante.net/projects/llboy
• Based directly upon http://imrannazar.com/GameBoy-Emulation-in-JavaScript

Dependencies:

• LLVM Core 3.2 (compiled-in to generate native translation)
• Clang 3.2 (binary only, builds LTO opcode bitcode file)
• CMake 2.8 (binary only, for building)
• QT 4.7.0 (will be required later)

Compilation Instructions

LLVM and Clang 3.2 headers and binaries should be installed on the system. In some cases, the development headers will be missing, or the cmake configuration files may not be present. It is generally easiest to download the latest from llvm.org.

To install LLVM and Clang to the location of your choosing:

  # Extract llvm and clang sources
  tar xzf llvm-3.2.src.tar.gz
  tar xzf clang-3.2.src.tar.gz

  # Move clang sources into llvm for automatic build
  mv clang-3.2.src llvm-3.2.src/tools/clang

  # Do an out-of-tree build
  mkdir llvm-3.2.build
  cd llvm-3.2.build
  cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/example/clang+llvm-3.2 ../llvm-3.2.src
  make
  sudo make install

Build LLboy:

  cd LLboy
  mkdir bin
  cd bin
  CC=/example/clang+llvm-3.2/bin/clang CXX=/example/clang+llvm-3.2/bin/clang++ \
     cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DLLVM_ROOT:path=/example/clang+llvm-3.2 ../src
  make all test

Anti-Piracy Statement:

• Games, ROMs, or information pointing thereto will not be distributed by the project
• Software will be designed in a manner that requires an original version of the game cartridge
• The End-user is responsible for the fair-use format shifting required to use the emulator
• Hardware emulation is based upon publicly available information
