Major edit. Gambatte libretro core is only getting build fixes and new palettes. Gearboy latest stable release is from 2021, only getting minor UI fixes since then. needs lots of work about rec row...
==Emulators==
Because of how relatively easy popular 8-bit consoles are to emulate, tons of Game Boy emulators exist. For a list of open-source projects, see [https://github.com/search?o=desc&q=gameboy+emulator&s=updated&type=Repositories&utf8=%E2%9C%93 this GitHub query]. For a list of accuracy tests, see [https://daid.github.io/GBEmulatorShootout/ daid.github.io/GBEmulatorShootout].

;[[MAME]]:Has solid Game Boy emulation through its <code>gameboy</code> driver despite the sound being imperfect, as well as slightly worse Game Boy Color compatibility through its <code>gbcolor</code> driver (where both the graphics and sound are imperfect). Despite its setbacks, it aims to feature compatibility with obscure mappers that other emulators usually ignore, like Wisdom Tree games or MMM01 multicarts. Accuracy was improved upon with contributions by Judge_.
