Nintendo re-released The Game Boy Color uses the console same LR35902 core as the '''Game Boy Pocket''' in 1996original; while it is clocked at 8.38 MHz, it can be underclocked to 4.19 MHz for backwards-compatibility purposes.

Nintendo re-released a peripheral for the [[Super Nintendo emulators|Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] called [[wikipedia:Super console as the '''Game Boy|Super Game Boy]] Pocket''' in 19941996, which was modelled like with a cartridge but included its own cartridge slot for Game Boy games, as well as the hardware needed to translate the games.

Because of how relatively easy popular 8-bit consoles are to emulate, tons of Game Boy emulators exist.

===Comparison===

;[http[SameBoy]]://bgbA relatively new emulator, probably the most accurate Game Boy emulator currently. The UI is simple and easy to use. It includes open source bootroms, although these can be replaced with real ones.bircdAlso emulates Game Boy Camera and Game Boy Printer.org/ ;[[BGB]]:A closed-source emulator for Windows (and [[Wine]]) with 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 Game Boy colors and borders, though it doesn't emulate all of its functions. It also has an advanced debugger.;[[Gambatte]]:Probably the most Extremely 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.

;[http://kigb.emuunlim.com/ [KiGB]]:An old and obsolete emulator which boasted its accuracy but was proven to be full of game-specific hacks.<ref>https://github.com/mgba-emu/mgba/issues/238</ref><ref>http://gbdev.gg8.se/wiki/articles/Test_ROMs#Emulators_running_on_desktop_computers</ref><ref>http://gbdev.gg8.se/wiki/articles/KiGB</ref> It has a wide selection of features, but other emulators have caught up and are already doing much better.

;[[VisualBoy Advance#VBA-M|VisualBoy Advance -M <small>(VBA-M)</small>]]:Used to be the go-to for Game Boy Advance emulation and even included solid GB/C emulation. It's now behind [[mGBA]] on both fronts.

====[[Multi-system emulators]]====;[[higan]]:Because it started out as an a [[Super Nintendo emulators|SNES emulator ]] (its original name was bsnes), it was the first and only one that properly emulated all of the Super Game Boy's features, such as SPC sound chip utilization. Versions of bsnes at and before 0.73 v073 used the Gambatte core for its Super Game Boy functionality, but Byuu byuu eventually made his own Game Boy core, which ended up having pretty good accuracy.

;[[MAME]]:Has solid Game Boy emulation through its <code>gameboy</code> driver despite the sound being imperfect, as well as slightly worse GBC 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_.

[[File:Gbc over saturation2.png|thumb|right|350px|Comparison of saturation levels in [[VisualBoy Advance#VBA-M |VBA-M]] and [[Gambatte]].]]The Game Boy Color's screen is understaturatedunder-saturated. Game developers often work around this by using brighter colors knowing it'll be compensated for on hardware. This does not translate well in emulation, because standard LCD screens don't account for this sort of issue. Many emulators attempt to combat this issue with options that adjust accordingly; if not directly, then [[Shaders_and_Filters#Image_Adjustment|shader functionality]] may be implemented.

<h2 style="width===Emulator options==== '''mGBA:''' Under Tools > Settings > Shaders, you will find three customizable '''Desaturation''' parameters. '''VBA-M:100%;"''' Under Options >Game Boy features</h2>, you will find the '''GB color option'''. The recent nightly builds also include the '''LCD Filter''' option. ===Unlicensed Mappers===Much like the NES, the Game Boy (and by extension, the Game Boy Color) used '''Memory Bank Controllers''' (MBC) (called MMCs on the NES) and also known informally as '''mappers''', to go beyond the restrictive initial hardware specifications. Nevertheless, Nintendo was much more careful to standardize their specifications to just a small number of possible mappers. Moreover, Game Boy ROMs now included an official internal header mandated by Nintendo that included the correct MMC type. This meant that for the officially licensed games, these mappers proved to be rarely a problem... with some notable unimplemented exceptions: Net de Get's MBC6 that offered downloadable content off the internet, and the MMM01 footer used for some official multi-cart games, among others.

However, shit hits the fan when it comes to '''unlicensed games''', since they didn't necessarily respect Nintendo's specifications about how a given mapper type should handle its memory and behave in general, and internal headers were often filled with erroneous data to hinder dumping and emulation efforts. Some emulators like MESS and [http://hhug.me/?tags===Hardware===hhugboy hhugboy] try to emulate that behavior with various degrees of success ([http://hhug.me/dump/ Compatibility List]). The hhugboy project also proposed a similar solution to iNES for this mapper problem, as the [http://hhug.me/gbx/1.0 gbx ROM format] that appends a footer with extra information needed for some unlicensed games. However, this format, much less unlicensed hardware quirks, isn't widely adopted aside from tentative mGBA support.

==Hardware Features=====IR Transmitter====The Game Boy Color had an infrared transmitter and receiver. Generation II Pokémon games made use of this feature through Mystery Gift. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe could send high scores to another cartridge. GBE+ has had [https://shonumi.github.io/articles/art4.html basic IR emulation] back in July 2016 but currently it then only works worked with Pokémon games. Now, as of [https://shonumi.github.io/articles/art11.html April 2018], it has full IR emulation for most IR-enabled games (Hudson Soft's HuC-1's IR capabilities need to be emulated for Japanese ''Pokémon TCG'').

The first emulator to have some capability of emulating the Game Boy Camera was a modified version of an old emulator called Hash. This version, named Hashcam, can still be found on the author's website. While there were some efforts to run the Game Boy Camera ROM in BGB unofficially, the author didn't show much interest in it. However, it is fully emulated with webcam support in a lesser-known emulator called GiiBiiAdvance.

The latest As of version 0.7.0, or any dev builds of mGBA post 0.6.0 release , mGBA can emulate the this accessory by either using the PC's webcam or send sending a BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, or other image format to the game, as if it was coming from the camera itself.<refname="mGBA_Cam">[{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/mGBA_emu/status/890954205472501762]|title=Game Boy Camera in mGBA dev builds|publisher=Twitter|accessdate=2018-08-10|date=2017-07-28}}</ref> The camera is also functional on the 3DS port. To enable the PC webcam, go to <code>Game Boy</code> under <code>settings</code> and switch the <code>camera driver</code> to <code>Qt Multimedia</code>, or by editing <code>qt.ini</code> and setting <code>cameraDriver=1</code> under <code>[General]</code>.

These games cannot be played without support for this feature. While VBA Deluxe'', ''Donkey Kong Country'' and KiGB have a "Motion Sensor" option to map four directional keys to emulate the cartridge tilting, BGB can emulate the tilting features with the use ''The Legend of the mouseZelda: Link's Awakening DX''.
