SameBoy is becoming very accurate lately and has a great libretro core to boot. Should we recommend it? - Syboxez

I don't know the answer to this but just wanted to stop by and say thank you for asking as opposed to just changing it. I wish more people would do that. We'll see how this one goes! Karasuhebi (talk) 20:14, 1 March 2018 (EST)
I might run some accuracy tests myself and change it if it is on par with Gambatte if nobody responds in a week. --Syboxez (talk) 21:41, 1 March 2018 (EST)

Just ran blargg's GB tests on SameBoy using real bootroms (same results with the included open source bootroms) and my results are:


Sameboy:

cgb_sound = 100%

cpu_intrs = 100%

dmg_sound

CGB = fails 08,09,10,11,12 (fails on real CGB and AGB hardware as well)

DMG = fails 01

instr_timing = 100%

interrupt_time = 100%

mem_timing = 100%

mem_timing-2 = 100%

OAM_bug = Failed Causes, Scanline timing, Timing bug, Timing effect, and Instr Effect, passes everything else

halt_bug = 100%


Compared to existing emulators: http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/GBAccuracyTests.html

Barring the DMG_Sound tests, SameBoy is on par with Gambatte and BGB accuracy-wise. Also SameBoy is active and open source, unlike Gambatte (activity-wise) and BGB (source code). I think we should recommend it. --Syboxez (talk) 12:42, 4 March 2018 (EST)
