Hi all,
I really like your efforts here!

In order to easily configure and test retro raspberry pi setups (especially the input devices), I am interested in test roms for a number of systems.

For the Sega Gamegear, I was not able to find something suitable for me. Therefore I wrote a homebrew program on my own for that. And I found your site very helpful. Thanks!!

I asked myself whether my little program is suitable for the hombrew section. It simply display a gamegear device as an image and checkboxes for all buttons. It indicates pressed buttons in the image and checks the boxes as well. screenshot attached. I tested it on several emulators and a real device as well.

Greetings from Hamburg,
Stefan

Button test program for the Gamegear in action (Kega Fusion emulator)

Yes, why not. Can you provide unscaled and unbordered screenshots?

Hi Maxim!

Thanks for the quick reply (and even more for your tutorial)! No border is no problem. No scaling not that easy with the emulators I use (skill problem I assume). Find attached a second try.

Am I able to add the files (binary rom, sources, link to GitHub perhaps ...) to the homebrew section on my own? If not: What is the easiest way to provide them?

Thanks in advance,
Stefan

Your emulators are a bit annoying :) they all have the image at 100% scale before enlargement. The screenshot should be 160x144 pixels...

It's best to post here and we'll update when the page is made. A link to github can go in the page too.

(question of the right emulator ... learned something new)
SMS Plus did the trick.
I will provide the remaining files later on ...

The page is here:

http://www.smspower.org/Homebrew/GamegearButtonTest-GG

I guess you may want to choose a different name or version number...

Great!

Attached a file which includes the *.gg file, the sources and a README-file. The content corresponds to the v0.3.0 tag in GitHub, therefore a version number of 0.3.0 would be nice if possible. If not, 0.30

The GitHub project is located here by the way ...
https://github.com/GameGearSamples/ButtonTest

Thanks in advance. Nice to give at least little bit back!

GamegearButtonTest-GG-0.3.0.zip (81.5 KB)

File contains sources and binary (*.gg)

Added to the page above, I'll leave the attachment here for extra availability.
