BIOS for (Super) Gameboy #94

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
As it stands, the BIOS routine for Gameboy is skipped. The first GB core 
allowed you to toggle this on and off; I think this would still be useful 
today. Also, Super Gameboy does not skip the BIOS at all. If both of these 
aren't made toggle-able, I think they should at least be consistent.

The Gambatte core (GB,CGB) does not support the internal BIOS at all.  It was 
mostly coded before that had ever been dumped, which is why an otherwise 
accurate core is missing that feature.

The libsnes core (SGB) does not support skipping the startup routines.  Given 
the design of the SGB, I'm not even sure if this very feasible at all, as 
there's no clear demarcation: the SNES side of the SGB never hands control off 
to another program; it's always running the BIOS.

Closed as outlined above.  If Gambatte implements BIOS, I'll revisit the 
situation.  If someone comes up with a logical, sensible way to define BIOS 
skipping on bsnes-SGB, I'll revisit the situation.
