If you'd like to make it run, check out [``minimal``](https://github.com/eljojo/mimey/tree/minimal) (which is not minimal at all).\n\n## How to run this?\n\nClone the repo:\n\n```\ngit clone git@github.com:eljojo/mimey.git\ncd mimey\n```\n\nCheckout the minimal branch\n\n```\ngit checkout minimal\n```\n\nBundle install\n\n```\nbundle install\n```\n\nRUN IT\n\n```\nbundle exec ruby test_emulator.rb\n```\n\nyou should see something like the current status below. if you don't, ping me [@eljojo](https://twitter.com/eljojo)\n\n## FAQ\n\n### What does Mimey mean?\n\n[Mimey][mimey] is one of my favorite characters from the\n[Pokémon TV Series][pokemon-tv-series] and using the name of a\n[Mr. Mime][mr-mime] seems appropiate for an emulator (specially for a Game Boy\none).\n\n[mimey]: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mimey\n[pokemon-tv-series]: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pokémon_anime\n[mr-mime]: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mr._Mime_(Pokémon)\n\n### What games does it run?\n\nNone at the moment.\n\n### When will I be able to run games?\n\nThis is a side project, so I don't know.\n\n### Your emulator sucks! Where can I find a decent one?\n\nMimey is a work in progress. In the meantime [let me help you find\none][emulators].\n\n[emulators]: http://bit.ly/14hVUqL\n\n### Why do you want to build yet another Game Boy emulator?\n\nOne of my dreams since I first used an emulator was to create one by myself, I\nenjoy programming and I think this will be a great learning experience. My goal\nis being able to run [Pokémon Red and Blue][red-blue].\n\n[red-blue]: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pokémon_Red_and_Blue_Versions\n\n## Acknowledgements\n\n* [Nintendo][nintendo] for creating the Game Boy.\n* [Satoshi Tariji][satoshi-tariji] for creating Pokémon.\n* [Episode 64 of the Pokémon TV Series][episode-64] for making me like Mr.\n  Mime. Before that episode I really hated Mr. Mime (who\n  can hate that Pokémon? I can't remember why I hated it).\n* The great tutorial of [Imran Nazar][imran-nazar] finally gave me the\n  motivation to start writing this emulator.\n\n[nintendo]: http://nintendo.com\n[satoshi-tariji]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi_Tajiri\n[episode-64]: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/EP064\n[imran-nazar]: http://imrannazar.com/GameBoy-Emulation-in-JavaScript\n\n## Current Status\n\n![yay!](./current_status.png)\n\n## Licence\n\nMIT.\n\n![Happy Gameboy](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/32212/3471234/35ad7576-02c1-11e4-9ca6-a9a2480812eb.gif)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Feljojo%2Fmimey","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Feljojo%2Fmimey","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Feljojo%2Fmimey/lists"}
