Talk:Game Boy/Game Boy Color emulators
SameBoy recommendation??
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)
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)
- Yeah I don't see a problem with recommending it, but let's see what other people say. Karasuhebi (talk) 14:31, 4 March 2018 (EST)
- Have no issues with the recommendation, but I just want to point out that it doesn't have an entry in the comparisons. I find the recommendation should at least be backed by an explanation as to why it's recommended aside from these test results. How does it perform? Is the standalone UI any good? That sort of thing.
