B o y c o t t A d v a n c e / S D L About Boycott Advance/SDL BoyCott Advance/SDL is a freeware software emulator which emulates Nintendo's Gameboy Advance handheld gamedevice on your OS. BoyCott Advance/SDL is based upon Julien "Gollum" Frelat's free BoyCott Advance emulator. Ports exist for the Linux, BeOS, WIN32 and FreeBSD platforms All (future/present) emulators use the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) Library for graphical output, keyboard handling and (future) sound support. This great OpenSource library has proved his value for me as for other (commercial) projects because of it's cross-platform portability. Currently SDL runs on Linux, WIN32, FreeBSD, PSX2, QNX, BeOS, etc. DISCLAIMER We or the fellow developers can't be held responsible for damage done by this software. The use of this software is at your own risk. It will definitely have some bugs in it so it could be that some games and/or demo's won't work at all! The use of illegal obtained ROM images (aka leech-from-the-internet-while-I-don't-own-the-game) is a act of piracy and is the use of illegal games with copyrights and can result in legal actions (not only to you, but also to other developers as well). These emulators allows you to play free/public domain demo's and games as well as (some) commercial games which are available for the desired handheld. It's not our intentions to promote the piracy of commercial ROM's so in short you MUST own the game itself for playing this on the emulator. The use of commercial roms of games which you don't own is illegal and it hurts the companies which make these games. If you like the game, buy it! Also, e-mailing use with the question : "Where can I find roms" will definately not be answered! The emulators on this page are CLOSED SOURCE until quoted otherwise. The emulators will stay closed source until the original developers have agreed that the sources may be distributed to the public. Don't e-mail use about sourcecode, no awnser will be given!

BoyCott Advance/SDL v0.2.8 Release 1 - a.k.a. NGEMU v2.0 release - :
BoyCott Advance/SDL v0.2.8 Release 1: - Completely insync with BoyCott Advance v0.2.8; - Incorperated the new sdlemu library; - BoyCott Advance sdl-core is completely rewritten for use of the new sdlemu library; - Many bugfixes and code enhancements (somewhat speedier); - Many filter options to a total of 19(!) different SDL filters; - Optimized OpenGL and SDL rendering options; - And many changes which are infact to many to note!; The WIN32 binaries are packed with upx (http://upx.sourceforge.net) because of there sizes. The Linux binaries were build on a RedHat 7.0 system using the SDL 1.2.5 sourcepackage from the SDL website. Debian users should have no problems anymore (at least I hope) but RedHat 9.0 users *could* have problems. E-mail us about it :)

BoyCott Advance/SDL 0.2.6 Release 3:
BoyCott Advance/SDL 0.2.6 Release 3: - Added Reverse Sound option as switch and in configfile; - Added in-emu GBA Overclocker; - Added filter options (2xSAI, TV Mode, etc) as switches; - Added multiple joystick selection support as switch and in configfile; - Added GBA bios file selection as switch and in configfile; - Added LargeEEPROM (64K) selectable option as switch and in configfile; - Disabled scanline modes in OpenGL (because of new code); - New SDL Soundcode for all Operating Systems (Thanks Sam Latinga!); - *Fixed* Configfile options initialisation (didn't work right); - *Fixed* Frameskip option (didn't work since the new autoskip code); - *Fixed* OpenGL rendering speed issue (not at maximum yet); - Additional fixes/tweaks; - Compiled against zlib 1.1.4 for security reasons; - Compiled for Intel Pentium MMX CPU's and up; The Linux/WIN32 binaries are packed with upx (http://upx.sourceforge.net) because of there sizes.

It seems that with this release the problems with SDL programs on Debian are resolved but I've released them incase of problems :)
