Use the example files from WLA-DX.

GB-Emulator

no$gmb.

Run it in dosbox - 'sudo apt-get install dosbox'.
It doesn't quite run at full speed, but it gets the job done.

Flash Cartridge
---------------

emsflasher.
http://lacklustre.net/projects/ems-flasher

Use this with an EMS flash cart to deploy code to your real GameBoy.
