does gnuboy support roms w/o extensions like nester?

probably the n00best thing i've asked in a long time

.

never used gnuboy before, but from looking at the images (and author) it seems to be very similar in format to Nester - therefore, can i assume that like nester, it displays the files on the CD as-is, which would normally be ugly, but it allows spaces and the removal of file extensions, making it pretty again?

Yes you can, I know that InsaneDavid had a tool created that allows spaces using RockRidge format based on UberJims Selfboot tool...

Allows spaces and Uppercase/Lowercase letters.

What I'd like to know is if you can do a SingleGame disc with DCGnuboy like with NesterDC too

I am not sure about the extensions, I'll give it a try. Anyone else knows it?

thanks.

question two: does it support metroid 2 colorized and the oracle zeldas? i know several GBC emulators don't.

1. ?
2. Yes.

What's Metroid 2 'Colorized'? = SGB?

Rockridge has been implemented for the past thousand years in everything I've put out. It's not some magical parameter that was forgotten.

Wait a minute: Your version of Seflboot.exe (at least the one that I use for every test burn) doesn't support it. Correct me if I am wrong

05-07-2002?

I don't think version 2 did.
Not sure about version 3.

Actually the date is 07th of May 2002.

I am not sure if it's ver2 or ver3 because there's no real documentation, just a documented errors help file

A. Scanbus problems
B. CD Record problems (these are my ones )

You don't mix it up with SBInducer?

Game.gb, regardless of it being color etc is what's required for a single game disc.

Oh great! I couldn't find any info about that! You don't know how important that is for me

there was a program released somewhere along the line, a few years ago, that allowed you to colorize GB roms using a custom GBC pallete. for some strange reason, the only game this really caught on with was metroid 2. there are four or five color patches floating around on the internet, and some of them have a higher compatibility rate than others.

that's what i meant by metroid 2 colorized.

but good to know the oracle games work, anyway, and i'll be testing metroid 2 myself if i don't get any responses anytime soon.

nobody knows about extensions, though?

No, but I'll give it a test run now!

Let me know what's up with Metroid 2 - I am very curious.

just tested metroid 2 with what i found to be the most compatible color patch across PC emulators, and it worked beautifully.

that color patch can be found at the following link:

http://metroid.homestead.com/files/Metr ... rPatch.zip

wouldn't you know it, it's also the only color patch that comes as an executable rather than an IPS file. guess that goes to show how the presentation of something often speaks for the quality of it.

so how 'bout those file extensions??

P.S. - this was the first disc i burned using SBI v4, and the new theme is beautiful. just making it known to those of you who haven't seen it yet.
