# gbprinter
Game Boy Printer test ROM. Tested on SameBoy & mGBA and on [real hardware](https://github.com/mmuszkow/gbprinter/issues/1).
# Control keys
- arrows: move cursor
- A: add character
- B: backspace
- Start: print
- Select: caps lock
# Test pattern
If you want to print a test pattern instead of on-screen text, type `PAT` and press Start.
# Errors
Printing process in progress is indicated by the letter `P` on the left of the screen.
The communication errors will be reported by letter `E` and number of the stage on which printing failed, followed by the returned status code. `FF` status code can mean timeout.
On successfully completed print the preview screen will be cleared.
# Protocol
The protocol is well documented at [https://gbdev.io/pandocs/Gameboy_Printer.html](https://gbdev.io/pandocs/Gameboy_Printer.html).
RLE compression is disabled as most of the emulators don't support it.
# Screenshots
