GameBoy programming in Linux

programmer

The programmer software comes in 2 versions: one for Win98 and one for Win2000/XP.

• use the Win98 version of the programmer under Wine
• run Wine as root (gksudo wine)
• set Wine to run the programmer (GBSWPre.exe) in Win98 emulation

• Wine must directly access the parallel port hardware (from: http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Wine_Registry#Parallel_Port}

  • edit the wine registry: gksudo regedit

  • add the following key:

    [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-4\Software\Wine\VDM\Ports]
    "read"="0x278-0x27f,0x378-0x37f"
    "write"="0x278-0x27f,0x378-0x37f"
