Dotrix is a user interface that wraps a Gameboy emulator using the GameboyCore API.

Build and Installation¶
Build¶
Dotrix uses the Qt5 framework and is configured with CMake. It can be built from the Qt Creator or from the command line.
For building from the command line, generate Makefiles for your build tool of choice:
cd path/to/source
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -G "NMake Makefiles"
nmake
For building against 64 bit Qt remember to configure your environment as such.
For example when building with MSVC 64 bit run the above commands in the Visual Studio x64 developer command prompt.
Opening ROM file¶
To open a ROM file goto:
File -> Open
ROM files must have a .gb extension.
Supported ROM files
Currently only Gameboy ROM files are supported.
Game Saves¶
Save files are stored to the open ROM directory as a .sav file.
For example if the following ROM file is open:
C:\Users\me\ROMS\Game.gb
The following .sav file will be generated when Dotrix closes:
C:\Users\me\ROMS\Game.sav
