;[[Gambatte]]:Very accurate open-source Game Boy Color emulator. It has a good range of options and features, though not quite as much as some other emulators. It has not been as active lately.
;[[TGB Dual]]:An ancient emulator that supports link cable emulation. It also supports [[netplay]], but it requires a VPN. The libretro port supports local multiplayer using player 2's controls.

;[https://github.com/AntonioND/giibiiadvance GiiBiiAdvance]:Pioneered full GB Camera emulation, including webcam support. Aside from that, it's an unfinished emulator with the basics set up, but its promising future currently on hiatus. It has very accurate timing.

GBE+ has [https://shonumi.github.io/articles/art7.html proper emulation] with the ability to read barcodes from binary files.
