In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.

Why
Some people will ask me: "Why you did that?"
Well, a friend asked me "What PHP can do?". I thought about that awhile and the idea came up. With PHP7's performance improvement now it's possible to emulate some systems :smile: and, come on, that's funny! :dancers:
It's based on the GameBoy JS Emulator.
Requirements
The following PHP versions are supported:
- PHP 5.6
- PHP 7
- HHVM
You will need a good terminal! I've tested only on MacOSX and Linux. I'm sorry about that Windows guys :disappointed:
Installation
Using composer:
Using PHAR:
Running
Your roms are loaded from the directory you are running the php-gameboy command.
If you like to run this emulator locally, simple clone the repository:
For running roms, pass the full path to your rom or put then in the php-terminal-gameboy-emulator folder:
Controls
- Left = A
- Up = W
- Down = S
- Right = D
- A = Comma (,)
- B = Dot (.)
- Select = N
- Start = M
Tests
You can use the following command to run the most common checks, such as php -l, phpcs:
$ ant checkTO-DO
Converting from the JS paradigm was a lot of work, and I still need to adapt somethings like:
- [x] Code standard - PSRs, please!
- [x] Array of functions - Maybe in PHP it's not the best approach
- [x] Pixel auxiliary array - Very CPU intensive to convert RGBA every time
- [ ] Classes - Core is too big!
- [ ] Profiling and otimizing - XHProf to find the most intensive functions
- [ ] Save/Restore - I need to save my Pokémon, please!
