Virtual Game Boy is the Nintendo GameBoy(tm) emulator on X-Window. Test your VGB installation with the command(default): vgb /usr/X11R6/share/VGB/CART.GB If you want to know what the cartidge file is, type as: gblist You buy the cartridges. GameBoy software is copyrighted and still sold. Therefore, its distribution is an act of piracy. Nothing prohibits you from backing up a cartridge you own and playing it on the emulator though.
