# StoicGoose
StoicGoose is a work-in-progress Bandai WonderSwan and WonderSwan Color emulator. It is written in C# via Visual Studio Community 2022 under Windows 10 Pro 21H2, and uses .NET 6.0 along with the following NuGet packages:
* [OpenTK](https://www.nuget.org/packages/OpenTK) 4.8.0 (for OpenGL rendering, OpenAL sound, etc.)
* [OpenTK.WinForms](https://www.nuget.org/packages/OpenTK.WinForms) 4.0.0-pre.6 (for WinForms OpenGL control)
* [OpenAL-Soft.Win](https://www.nuget.org/packages/OpenAL-Soft.Win) 1.2.0 (for OpenAL Soft runtime)
* [Newtonsoft.Json](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Newtonsoft.Json) 13.0.3 (for configuration, cheats and breakpoint storage)
* [GitInfo](https://www.nuget.org/packages/GitInfo) 2.3.0 (for versioning information)
* [ImGui.NET](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ImGui.NET) 1.89.7.1 (for debugger UI)
* [Iced](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Iced) 1.20.0 (for x86 disassembly)
* [Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.Scripting](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp.Scripting) 4.5.0 (for breakpoint support)
* [Serilog](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Serilog) 3.0.1, [Serilog.Sinks.File](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Serilog.Sinks.File) 5.0.0 and [Serilog.Sinks.Console](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Serilog.Sinks.Console) 4.1.0 (for error and general message logging)
## Versions
Two flavors of StoicGoose are available:
- **StoicGoose** is the Windows Forms-based interface, meant for playing games. This build supports shaders, XInput controllers, etc.
- **StoicGoose.GLWindow** is the Dear ImGui-based interface, meant solely for debugging and disassembling games.
## Requirements
* [.NET 6.0 Desktop Runtime](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0/runtime)
* A GPU supporting OpenGL 4.0 (ex. Nvidia GeForce 400 series or later, Radeon HD 5000 series or later, Intel Ivy Bridge iGPUs or later) _and_ appropriate drivers
* Optionally, copies of the WonderSwan and WonderSwan Color bootstrap ROMs (supported but not required); correct MD5 hashes are as follows
* 54b915694731cc22e07d3fb8a00ee2db (WonderSwan)
* 880893bd5a7d53fff826bd76a83d566e (WonderSwan Color)
* d3eff34719a363e586e12b700501ed91 (SwanCrystal)
## Building
### Windows
* Download [Visual Studio Community 2022](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs)
* Clone the StoicGoose repository
* Build and run the emulator
### Linux
* This has only been tested through Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS via Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) so far, not yet on a standalone Linux installation.
* Please check [Microsoft's instructions for installing .NET on Linux](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux) and ensure your distribution is supported.
* The Windows Forms-based interface will **not** work on Linux, only the Dear ImGui-based debugger.
