Oh hey, Hacker News! Just wanted to say I've been really pleased with how this project has been received, wasn't expecting it to blow up this much! My Github issues list is going crazy right now! :-D
It's been a side project of mine for quite a while as I was learning Electron and C/GBDK at the same time so don't judge me too harshly on the code hehe.
It's early days for the project so not quite decided how I want to expand it out just yet, maybe to more genres, maybe to allow more JRPG functionality. What ever I end up doing though I want to make sure it's as simple as possible for beginners to make something as easy as possible!
Question about the download - I see you have it labeled "win32-x64", does that mean it runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows? Asking because my only machine with a good copy of bgb is an x86 / 1Gb RAM unit.
Hi, sorry for the delay replying, weirdly Electron names the output win32-x64 even though it's only for 64-bit, I think the naming convention is platform (win32) then architecture (x64). Either way I've just built a 32-bit version which hopefully will work for you https://github.com/chrismaltby/gb-studio/releases/download/v... though I'm not sure how it's going to manage with 1Gb RAM.
