Super Game Boy SNES core with MSU

[mathieulh]

I compiled the MiSTer binaries and the SGB core so that they contain the latest commits from the MiSTer Main and the SNES (mostly SPC related fixes) core. I thought I'd just share these here.

Did anyone actually get MSU working on here?

Tried the same exact files that were working on the SD2SNES Pro and nothing is working.

The regular Game Boy stuff works fine, but the MSU versions don't work at all.

Even changed the MiSTer main as instructed

I only managed to get Link's Awakening DX to work for some reason, anything else I've tried doesn't seem to work on MiSTer (and probably real hardware), I assume whatever patches they've made for other games were only tested on software emulators.

Why wasn't this posted on this MiSTer Github?

My guess is that it will be soon, it just hasn't been decided yet how it will be handled, as it is basically a "secondary" SNES core. Need to make sure that all the beneficial commits to the SNES core also make it into the SGB core.

Considering that both GB and GBA 2 Player have their own sections, I don't see why SGB couldn't have it's own.

Amazing work paul! Personally, I prefer to use the Game Boy core bc of savestates. Regardless, this is still really cool!

Btw, is it possible to port the code of the special audio to the existing Game Boy core? I don't care as much about the borders personally, but the SGB audio is the only thing that I feel is missing from the standard Game Boy core. Can that code be ported over, or is it too dependent on SNES hardware to fit into the Game Boy core?

"the code of the special audio" is the entire SNES more or less.

I like those few GB games who use the actual music from the Snes version of the same games.

I just rebuild the latest MiSTer Main commits (including the new video changes) along with SGB MSU Support, I thought I'd share. (the SGB core's rbf itself remains unchanged)
