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.
    sudo apt-get install g++ libtool openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jdk libsdl1.2-dev mercurial ant autoconf jython

    export JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/include/
    export JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH2=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/include/

    hg clone http://hg.bortreb.com/vba-clojure
    cd vba-clojure/
    ./dl-libs.sh
    cd 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

(In the above command, substitute the first path with the path of the vba-clojure
directory you made, if it is different.)

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"))

    vba.get_memory_at(0xDCDA)
    vba.set_memory_at(0xDCDB, 0xFF)
    vba.get_memory_range(0xDCDA, 10)
