Awesome project! Got it running permanently on my living room.
Could we have a timeout on the initial screen so it will automatically load the saved state? Sometimes I have to disconnect the gameboy because I need to connect something to the wall socket, and later have to open the cabinet to press a button to continue. It would be cool if just by powering the gameboy it would start doing its thing, like the very first version you published.
Thank you!
That's such a classy Gameboy and screen color. Looks great. :)
Yes, that seems reasonable to "auto-resume" some time after power-on and idle (if there is an existing save state). Should be easy, I can look into it soon.
When you turn it off, do you pause or return to the menu first? It used to auto-save once a minute, but that was adding a lot of overhead due to the amount of data saved. So I changed it to only save under these conditions:
- The game board will be saved when starting, stopping or pausing
Thanks!
I just power it off. But it won’t bother me if it would reset the animation after powering it down. If I want to keep the state for some reason, I would pause before powering down.
As it saves when starting, that should be enough to autostart with the whatever the user have configured.
Thanks for considering this :)
