Was wondering if you would consider adding a .desktop file to /usr/share/applications to make launching GearBoy easier for application menus.

Done. I had thought about doing it before, but was hesitant to do so since the program doesn't have an icon (as far as I can tell). I've added one with no icon, but if one does exist I can use that as well.

Dependencies should include glew from Extra. Greaboy fails to build without it installed.

Done. I'm surprised you were unable to build using aur/glew-2.1, but I agree that it's better to use extra/glew. I can't recall why I used the AUR package, but I tested it using the main one and didn't encounter any issues.

My apologies. I have corrected the PKGBUILD to instead download the source code and compile, rather than using the pre-compiled binaries, and I'll do so for the other two related packages I added. Let me know if there are any other error in the PKGBUILD.

Hello, this is a disguised -bin pkgbuild and the program is open source, you can both re-upload with -bin suffix and correct this pkgbuild to build from source but this can't stay as it is now, the same is valid for your other 2 pkgbuilds
