Talk:Game Boy/Game Boy Color emulators

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 (Same results on real CGB and AGB hardware, but everything passes on real DMG hardware, unlike any emulator, even in DMG mode)

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)
