Playboy is a Nintendo Gameboy emulator for the Panic Playdate!
You can grab a .pdx
file to run from the Releases page.
The first time you start Playboy, you'll see "No game ROM found".
See these steps for downloading/playing whichever games you want.
If you see "pdex.dylib cannot be opened" when you try to run the emulator,
- Right-click on
Playboy.pdx
in the Finder and click "Show Package Contents" - Right-click on the
pdex.dylib
file and click "Open" - Press "Open" in the dialog that pops up
Now you'll be able to run the .pdx
:)
Left, Right, Up, Down, A and B are exactly what you'd expect.
Start and Select are interesting, because the Playdate doesn't have enough buttons!
Turn the crank clockwise to press Start, and counter-clockwise to press Select.
Playboy is powered by my Rust Gameboy Emulator project gbrs.
If you fancy a challenge, I'd love to see people try and port it to more systems!
For the platform-specific side of things, it uses the awesome crankstart bindings by Rob Tsuk.
