Overview[edit]

The accuracy of the emulator is among the highest and is based off numerous reverse engineering tests and document studies. It is currently available as both a core for RetroArch, as well as an individual emulator. It was used in the Super Game Boy component of higan. Upstream development has stopped and while it has great accuracy, it doesn't support many additional features like Super Game Boy emulation.
