V.Frown

An experimental emulator for the V.Smile

NOTE: this emulator is still a work in progress.

Building and Running

Create a folder in the same location as VFrown named sysrom and insert a copy of your BIOS called sysrom.bin. While this step isn't required by V.Frown, not all games can run properly (or at all) without a System ROM image.

Run the following commands:

cd <path/to/project>
Make platform=<platform> build=<build>
./VFrown <path/to/game>

Replace <platform> with windows, macos or linux depending on your platform, and replace <build> with debug or release. Without these, it will default to building a linux debug build.
