    New Version Of The GameBoy Colour Emulator Goomba Paletted


    Kuwangers updated this GameBoy Colour emulator for the GameBoy Advance now so let?s see what he had to say about it:

    I?ve just noticed an odd bug with my fork of Goomba. For some reason, whenever Super Mario Land starts up, the palette is messed up. This bug is apparently at least as old as my v2.32 fork (and probably earlier).

    So, I?ve updated my fork to (hopefully) fix the problem by fixing custom palette loading.?
