vba-clojure (but really it's jython/python/jvm)
This is jython, not python. Use jython to run this file. Before running this
file, some of the dependencies need to be constructed. These can be obtained
from the vba-clojure project.
hg clone http://hg.bortreb.com/vba-clojure
cd vba-clojure/java/
ant all
cd ..
autoreconf -i
./configure
make
sudo make install
Make sure vba-clojure bindings are in $CLASSPATH:
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:java/dist/gb-bindings.jar
Make sure vba-clojure is available within "java.library.path":
sudo ln -s \
$HOME/local/vba-clojure/vba-clojure/src/clojure/.libs/libvba.so.0.0.0 \
/usr/lib/jni/libvba.so
Also make sure VisualBoyAdvance.cfg is somewhere in the $PATH for VBA to find.
A default configuration is provided in vba-clojure under src/.
Usage (in jython, not python):
import vba
# activate the laser beam
vba.load_rom("/path/to/baserom.gbc")
# make the emulator eat some instructions
vba.nstep(300)
# save the state because we're paranoid
copyrights = vba.get_state()
# or ...
vba.save_state("copyrights")
# >>> vba.load_state("copyrights") == copyrights
# True
# play for a while, then press F12
vba.run()
# let's save the game again
vba.save_state("unknown-delete-me")
# and let's go back to the other state
vba.set_state(copyrights)
# or why not the other way around?
vba.set_state(vba.load_state("unknown-delete-me"))
