How to load GB/GBC Freeware:
We must buy "AD Adapter(White version)". It uses "PocketGBC 2012" that can load "gb"/"gbc" files from micro SD card.
Only we have to do is simply copy "gb"/"gbc" file on your own micro SD card.
If GBC game has been provided as ".cgb" file, rename its extension ".gbc".
Insert that micro SD card to your AD Adapter, then turn your SNES console on.
Choose the game you want to play. The game would be loaded immediately.
Unfortunately some titles are incompatible with "Pocket GBC 2012".
Next try "Goomba" or "Goomba Color".
"Goomba" was originally coded by FluBBa (
)
in 2003-2004. After that, "Goomba
Color" was coded by FluBBa & Dan Weiss in 2008-2019. |
Doubleclick
"goombafront.exe". A window as shown in the left screen
appears. 1. Choose "goomba.gba" in the same folder "goombafront.exe" exists. 2. Specify a ".gba" file you want to create. You shall specify the same folder "goombafront.exe" exists. 3. Choose folder that ".gb" / ".gbc" files exist. After that, you can see them in a box to the left. Choose ".gb" / ".gbc" files you want to load. 4. Click "Add ->" button. You can see that files copied to the right box. 5. You don't have to specify a file when you compile for the first time. 6. Click "Compile" button. a file that you've specified at the second section would be created. 5&7. When you run "goombafront.exe" again to create another ".gba" files, "goomba.gom" in the same folder "goombafront.exe" exists would be specified in those boxes automatically. |
• When you create ".gba" files using both "Goomba" & "Goomba Color",
note that the same folder "goombafront.exe" you run last exists have been specified automatically at the 1st & 2nd section mentioned above.
For example, when you want to create a ".gba" file by "Goomba" after you created a ".gba" file by "Goomba Color",
the program specifies the same files of "Goomba Color". You must specify each path again.
• After you create ".gba" files by "Goomba", change the first 2 bytes at the #B0 row of "goomba.gba" into "30 30" by using binary editor,
otherwise the game would not be loaded on real SNES+ AD Adapter.
I've defined "loading difficulty" on SNES+AD Adapter(White version) like following:
| Difficulty |
Definition |
| Lv.2 |
Almost
"gb" / "gbc" files. |

Note:
• It seems that titles for GBC only cannot be saved by using "SAVE" option of ingame menu.
When you play those GBC games, use "Goomba Color". Press L + R, then choose "Save state" instead of "SAVE" option of ingame menu.
By the way, ".sav" files would NOT be overwritten even if we press X button + Start button when we play games using "PocketGBC 2012".
• "u3start.sav"/"u4start.sav" provided by Sven Carberg won't be able to be used for your own GBA file created by "Goomba Color".
It's because those "sav" files that shall be used for VBA are quite different formats from ones that would be used for GBA file created by "Goomba Color".
At least I cannot convert them!
