Wzonka-Lad is a Nintendo Game Boy emulator for the Amiga series of home computers.
History
Wzonka-Lad was written by Ville Helin Development began in 1996 and continued through 1999.
The project was started because existing Game Boy emulators for Amiga, such as Virtual Game Boy (VGB), which was written in C, ran too slowly on Amiga hardware. Helin wrote Wzonka-Lad in assembly language to improve performance.
Features
Wzonka-Lad is written entirely in assembly language, offering a graphical user interface and a range of features despite its low-level implementation. It supports graphics and sound cards via CyberGraphX and AHI,
Performance and compatibility
Compared to other Amiga Game Boy emulators, early versions of Wzonka-Lad (such as 0.64) were slower but more compatible than AmigaGameBoy, and faster than Unix ports like VGB.
