I forgot to share this video here but I'm so grateful to everyone who shared their lovely games with me!! I'll definitely be making more of these compilations in the future, so if you'd like to share or tell me about your #playdate game, please do!

Struggles emulating Gameboy games? I assume you haven’t heard of CrankBoy, yet?

Happy to hear that.

Well, we have a so called bundle mode that allows packaging GB games as quasi native Playdate games. You can find more info in our repo.

If you have an further questions I’m on the GB Studio and Playdate Discord (@stonerl) you can DM me there or join our dev channel.

@2thinkds.bsky.social Sorry for the unsolicited message Maybe you have seen that Inspector Waffles has been released on the playdate Catalog.

Would you be interested in bringing Glory Hunters to the Catalog?

Inspector Waffles Early Days was already available on PC, Switch, Xbox, PS5 and of course Game Boy Color.

You can now add the Playdate to the list! 🤯

I'm so proud this port exists, on one of my favorite handheld consoles. Thanks a lot to @panic.com and the CrankBoy team to make it happen ☺️

Many thanks for giving CrankBoy a shot and the positive review.

I took Playdate's Game Boy emulator CrankBoy for a spin, and it's a cranking good time - Guilty Gamer Emulating Game Boy games on Panic's Playdate handheld has been a thing for a while now, thanks to releases like PlayGB that are easily sideloaded. While

CrankBoy is not only a great Game Boy emulator for Playdate, but the fact that you can mod ROMs to use the crank makes it a must-play @stonerl.bsky.social #indiegaming #emulation #playdate guiltygamer.com/i-took-playd...

CrankBoy v1.1.0 for Playdate is out! Adds better game compatibility, stereo audio, & an in-app patch downloader. Use the crank to fish in Link's Awakening!

CrankBoy: An Interview with the devs who built a Game Boy Playdate emulator The Playdate is one of those consoles that doesn’t play by anybody’s rules but its own. It’s bright yellow, fits in your pocket, and comes with a built-in crank on the side that doubles as a quirky ga...

I just tried out the CrankBoy, a Game Boy (Color) emulator for @play.date, and it's just amazing. If you own one of those yellow squares 🟨, be sure to give it a go. Here's an interview with the team behind it: magazine.fediverse.games/crankboy-an-...

Thank you for your kind words. We currently beta testing v1.1.0 which we hope to release later this month. It will have some new exciting features, performance improvements and better compatibility with more games.

I would second this. 😆

In 30FPS mode every game should now run at full speed. We were able to get compatibility improved and even squeeze a bit more performance out. Super Mario Land 2 now runs at a fixed 60 fps in 30FPS mode.

These improvements will be available with the next release.

It does 😆. The next release will contain some more performance improvements.

You can also by them via their website worldwide.

We are not done yet. The next release will contain more performance improvements. Although not as dramatic as it was with the initial release.

That depends on whether we are going to implement full Game Boy Color support. Could happen eventually …
