Feature Request: Support for Mobile Adapter GB #249

Open Casuallynoted opened 2 months ago

Casuallynoted commented 2 months ago

Hello!

While SNAC link support currently works for linking to consoles, it doesn't currently work when the link port is connected to the GB mobile adapter or a replica GB mobile adapter made using a Rpi Pico (both of these devices are functionally the same). Mobile GB games have been revived and translated thanks to the REON project, seen here: https://github.com/REONTeam/libmobile

And currently I can use my mobile GB adapter with both a Gameboy Player and actual Gameboy hardware, but not a MiSTer FPGA. I'd like to see if perhaps support for this awesome accessory can be added to the core.

I just built a https://github.com/zenaro147/PicoAdapterGB and I'm able to use it with MiSTer.

Hmm, that's the exact kind I'm using. What settings/options did you enable in the core to use it? Maybe I'm missing something.

In the core settings I have the System set to Gameboy Color, GBC/GBA mode set to GBC and have Link Port enabled.

I tested with Mobile Trainer and a dummy server.

Weird, those are the exact settings I'm using. I'll give it another try and report back.

Actually, I wonder if I didn't have GBC/GBA mode set to GBC. I'll check that.
