GomeBoy is my attempt at creating a fairly accurate and reasonably performant Game Boy emulator written with golang. It is still currently in the very early stages of development, but it is already capable of running quite a few games with varying degrees of success.
- GameBoy (DMG) and GameBoy Color (CGB) support
- SRAM and RTC support
- Run DMG games with CGB colorization palettes (without using a boot ROM)
- Automated testing against a large number of test ROMs
- Peripherals
- Cartridge Mappers
- MBC1
- MBC2
- MBC3
- MBC5
- ROM
- Cheat Carts
- Game Genie
- GameShark
- Serial
- Printer
- Link Cable
- Local Multiplayer (needs reimplementation)
- Cartridge Mappers
- Platform-agnostic (runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac)
