Retro Machines
Retro machines is a Minecraft mod that includes a full Gameboy Emulator that can be used to play your favorite games within Minecaft!
Note: This mod does not contain any proprietary or copyrighted material such as game ROMs. A free an open source 2048 game is included, the source code can be found on the following github page: Sanqui/2048-gb.
Custom ROMs can be loaded by either clicking the "Open ROM" buttom, or dragging a ROM into the Minecraft window.
This mod includes a modified version of the open source mvdnes/rboy Gameboy Emulator, built to be embedded within a Minecaft mod.
This mod was created in a couple of days, and is currently only a prototype to prove the idea is possible, I have some more ideas for this mod in the future:
- Improved audio, including using the Minecraft audio system
- Link cable support between players on a server
- More included games
- Other consoles and retro hardware.
- Improved textures (let me know if you can help!)
- Edition: Minecraft Java
- File type: .jar
