  • docker-gb-dev

    docker-based full toolkit for developing gameboy games

    I made this to contain a bunch of graphical apps used for gameboy-development: https://github.com/konsumer/docker-gb-dev

    It has wine and some old windows-only apps. I took a different approach, and used a VNC server. Not quite as fast, but doesn't require the host to have an Xserver. I even include a little web-based VNC client, so no install is needed.
