AmazinglyAdvanced GBA emulator

AmazinglyAdvanced is a free and open-source GBA emulator written in C++.

Current version

The latest released version is 0.1.0.

The ARM7TDMI core is fully-functional. (Unfortunately, it is not bug-free)

The LCD emulation supports text mode 0 and bitmap modes 3 and 4. It does not support mosaic and affine transformation. Furthermore, sprite rendering is not implemented yet.

Neither DMA sound channels nor PSG sound channels are implemented. (Related issue: DMA1 and DMA2 are forcibly disabled)

Timers are fully-functional.

VBLANK and HBLANK DMA timings are not implemented yet.

Note that AmazinglyAdvanced is nowhere near cycle-accurate!
