From c66e77981b44b04bc0fe787c938c147d1a5ff8a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2025 20:08:10 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix: enable Game Boy Color mode when loading CGB ROMs The emulator had fully implemented CGB color support (palette system, PPU rendering, VRAM banking, terminal output) but never activated it. The PPU's cgbMode flag remained false regardless of cartridge type. This change detects CGB-compatible cartridges after ROM loading and enables color mode in the PPU, allowing CGB games to render in color instead of grayscale. Verified with cgb_sound.gb (CGB-only) and dmg_sound.gb (DMG-only). --- src/Emulator.php | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/Emulator.php b/src/Emulator.php index 9d4dac8..5e17bfd 100644 --- a/src/Emulator.php +++ b/src/Emulator.php @@ -131,6 +131,11 @@ private function initializeSystem(): void $this->interruptController );
