[Feature Request] GBA mode for CGB games (Core option) #24

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

As of today there is no way of entering The Advance Shop in Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons in either SameBoy standalone or the Libretro core.

Oracle of Seasons, The Advance Shop is open image

Oracle of Ages, The Advance Shop is open image

It is a unique shop often referred to as the 100 Rupee Advance Shop and can only be accessed when either games is played on a Game Boy Advance console, otherwise the right-sided doors will be closed and shut.

bgb, Gambatte and most other emulators have the option to enable Game Boy Advance mode one way or another.

There isn't a whole lot of CGB games that takes advantage of playing on the GBA and I believe there is only four games that does it.

  1. Oracle of Ages, The Advance Shop is open
  2. Oracle of Seasons, The Advance Shop is open
  3. Shantae, I don't know the exact details on this
  4. Wendy - Every Witch Way, Three extra levels to play

Thanks in advance!

Done for the standalone ports (Cocoa and SDL). For the libretro version, it's the same issue as as #23.

@LIJI32 Sweet, thanks!!! Does that mean this option is on it's way to Libretro as well?

It'd be good to have an Auto option that uses GameBoy mode for .gb ROMs and Color mode for .gbc like it did before. Right now I have to set GB mode as my default so I get monochrome on those games (to use properly with the GB pocket shader) and I have to make per game overrides for all my GBC games to make them boot in GBC mode.

Sounds easy enough to add, I'll do it.
