2.3.0
This minor update adds 1.5× screen scaling and experimental audio support.
Changes
- Added 1.5× screen scaling support (scales GB games to fit a QVGA display). There are two modes: nearest (faster, more pixelated) and bilinear (slower but smoother).
- Added experimental audio support using a basic MIDI backend. This is disabled by default as it's rather slow.
- Fixed a bug where in-game saves would get cleared after an out-of-memory condition.
Versions
Due to the limited amount of RAM on many MRE phones, there are a few versions available:
| Version | Heap size | GBC support | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| peanut.vxp | 1200 kB | No | Intended for the majority of devices. With 1× screen scaling, it can run ROMs up to 1 MB. |
| peanut_500k.vxp | 512 kB | No | Intended for low-RAM devices. Should run ROMs up to 256 kB. |
| peanut_2500k.vxp | 2500 kB | Yes | Intended for Series 30+ and other devices with lots of RAM. |
2.2.0
This minor update adds support for Game Boy Color exclusive games.
Changes
- Added support for GBC mode, allowing GBC-exclusive games to run. This uses up more RAM and is therefore only available on the 2500k version.
- Disabled high LCD accuracy. This reduces the VXP size by about 20 kB and may improve performance at the cost of sprite ordering accuracy.

2.1.0
This minor update adds a fast forward function and concurrent input support.
Changes
- New 2× fast forward option. By default this is bound to the key
1, but it can be reconfigured in Options. For touchscreen users, there is a new>>virtual key. - Concurrent input - two keys can be pressed at a time now. While the MRE API does have an option for three-key concurrent input, it is marked as "reserved" and doesn't work.
Versions
- peanut.vxp should work on most supported devices, but cannot run 1 MB ROMs with 2× screen scaling.
- peanut_500k.vxp is intended for low-RAM devices, try it if you get a 'not enough memory' error with the standard version. Note that you cannot run larger games with this version.
- peanut_2500k.vxp is required for running 2 MB games like Pokémon Gold/Silver, and is recommended for Series 30+ users. If your phone has a decent amount of RAM and you get 'out of memory' errors or crashes with the other versions, try this one.
2.0.0
While 1.0 was a basic proof-of-concept, 2.0 is closer to a feature complete emulator.
Features
- Runs almost any Game Boy ROM (depends on available memory, see the different versions below)
- Keypad and touch input with remappable key bindings
- In-game saving and save states
- Palette switching from a list of presets
- 2× screen size option - recommended for 320×480 phones but uses more RAM
- Reset, interlacing, FPS counter
Limitations
- No audio support
- No RTC support
- Only one key can be pressed at a time - hardware limitation?
