GhostsNGoblinsGBA V0.2.0

This is a Ghosts'n Goblins & Makai-Mura - Arcade emulator for the GBA.

It has no sound support. You should still be able to enjoy the game though. =)

How to use

Now put gng.zip, makaimura.zip into a folder where you have arcade roms.

When the emulator starts, you can either press L R to open up the menu (the emulator tries to load Green Beret automagically on startup). Now you can use the cross to navigate the menus, A to select an option, B to go back a step.
