==Comparison==
* BGB also has excellent Game Boy and Game Boy Color accuracy, as well as near flawless link support. It has a wealth of options for color palettes and even enabling Super Gameboy colors and borders, though it doesn't emulate all of its functions. Because of that, if you're looking for highest compatibility you should get both Gambatte and BGB so you can switch between them when needed.
* [[Gambatte]] is hands-down the most accurate Game Boy/Color emulator. It has a good range of options, though not quite as much as some other emulators.
*Gambatte GameYob (on the DS) is hands-down the most accurate Game Boybest GB/Color GBC emulator. It has a good range of options, though not quite as much as some other emulatorsfor that platform.

*Visual [[higan]] is the only emulator that properly emulates all of the Super Game Boy's features, though the quality of its Game Boy Advance emulates GB/GBC games as they appear on a GBA. This causes games emulation is inferior to look unusually bright and saturatedthat of other emulators, unless one hunts down an older version of bsnes, which used the Gambatte core for its Super Game Boy functionality.
