Steps to reproduce the behavior

Be an idiot, like me

ROM details

Which games are affected by the issue (please state if GBA or GB game): All of them, I guess. Which games, if any, are NOT affected by the issue (please state if GBA or GB game): None of them, I guess.

Option details

Video driver (simple, opengl): opengl Sound driver (directsound, xaudio, openal, SDL):

Build details

Operating System (Windows, Mac, Linux (state distribution), etc.): Windows 10 If using Linux, specify if using xorg or Wayland:

Version of code (pre-built binary version, or commit ref, or just "master"): master

Hardware details:

If your joystick or gamepad isn't working in Linux, please try to troubleshoot using the information on this page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gamepad BEFORE filing an issue. We use SDL for joystick support, any problems will generally be an issue with SDL and NOT the emulator.

If relevant, the joystick you are using and the drivers you are using for it:

Right now it's a simple extract and run the exe. At the moment there's no installer. I'll have one eventually made though

MrMagolor commented 6 years ago

There was no exe though.

ZachBacon commented 6 years ago

Except there is if you selected the right one.

I copied the "master" file, that's what I assumed to do since there was no other instruction to do otherwise.

ZachBacon commented 6 years ago

There's a release tab, all builds we do go there...

Regardless, thanks for the download
