If you want some fun programming you can git clone lgpt and port it to Android handled. There is a lot of SDL1.2 program which were ported on android so it is a good way to touch a great software blessed by the community and do some c++ programming.
Ok BitFlourish, I greatly appreciate your step by step, but it did not work for me. I will type out the steps I did in order to show where it stopped working for me. I am going to type out every little thing I did, just to really be clear as what I tried to do. Here is what I did:
put rom in folder ***added step*** opened terminal ***added step*** ran command: cd <folder location / name > turn on gameboy while holding select until the rhombus boot screen appears connect nlmidi connector to usb port and link cable insert link cable in run the command: nlmidi -send <rom name>.gb
at this point the terminal window returns this:
-bash: nlmidi: command not found
Is there something I need to do to get the system to recognize the command? I do get the n to appear, so I think my gameboy is all ready to
You have to make sure to use the exact name of the nlmidi program in your command line. I think last time I ran it the version was "nlmidi04". Just look in the unzipped folder and find the appropriate file name.
Edit after reading your post more closely. Make sure when you type in the commands that you use exactly what's shown in the command list on the screen. Don't just copy/paste from somewhere else.
