The linked project is neither working nor finished. Take a look at that one though https://github.com/Vogtinator/gbc4lua

Thank you that's really cool but my os version is 4.5.5 and it says it crashes if its above 3.6 and 4.5.5 doesn't have ndless support currently so I wanted a lua emulator so I can just use that without the jailbreak.

[adriweb]

no, it says before 3.6 it crashes. And it doesn't require ndless.

[Scrivdogg99]

Oh ok thanks, I'm really bad at this but I can't turn it into a .tns file haha, I'm really new to this stuff

[Scrivdogg99]

I hope it's not too much to ask but are you able to convert it into a .tns file for me, it would help a lot thank you

[adriweb]

I'll let @Vogtinator reply but I think it's mostly a proof of concept / technical showcase. It wouldn't be able to run fast enough to be fun. Also, iirc one has to build it in their own due to the rom having to be embedded or something

[Scrivdogg99]

That's fine I just think it's cool to run without needing ndless

[adriweb]

lmao bro you can't share roms that's illegal 😂

[Scrivdogg99]

Whoops

[Scrivdogg99]

Thank you for your help, I’ll be sure to contact @Vogtinator also thank you for telling me it’s illegal I didn’t know

https://github.com/Vogtinator/gbc4lua?tab=readme-ov-file#gameboy-emulator-targeting-lua-51 has build instructions. Needs to be run on a system with make, sed and python3 available.

[Scrivdogg99]

I'm sorry it just isn't working for me I've copied and pasted it and worked around it and I have make, sed and python3 installed but it still isn't working

[Vogtinator]

What's the error message?

Note that even when done properly, Input isn't implemented yet and it's abysmally slow.

[Scrivdogg99]

I tried following what it said but it kept saying like git doesn't work so I actually did it write but then it couldn't find the rom and I can't remember the rest but it just isn't seeming to work for me.

[Vogtinator]

Without a proper error message I can't really help any further.

┌──(kali㉿kali)-[~/…/ndless/src/tools/LuaBin] └─$ luabin.cpp PokemonBlue.gb - rom | sed 's/"/"/g' > rom.lua luabin.cpp: command not found

[adriweb]

luabin.cpp is the source code to be compiled... then you can use that

[Scrivdogg99]

I inputted this

g++ -E luabin.cpp PokemonBlue.gb - rom | sed 's/"/"/g' > rom.lua

It's loading, does that mean it is working?
