==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 [[GBhttps:/C Tests]/daid.github.io/GBEmulatorShootout/ daid.github.io/GBEmulatorShootout].

===Comparison===
 
====Game Boy-only emulators====
;[[SameBoy]]:A 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. Also emulates Game Boy Camera and Game Boy Printer.
;[[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 Game Boy colors and borders, though it doesn't emulate all of its functions. It also has an advanced debugger.
;[[Gambatte]]: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.
;GameRoy:A gameboy emulator, dissasembler and debugger written in Rust. It has high accuracy and accurate clock frequency. It is more suited for debugging uses for now.
;[[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.
;[[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.
;[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.
 
;[https://github.com/aappleby/MetroBoy MetroBoy]:Extremely accurate Game Boy simulator which being written in a subset of C++ that's designed to to be mechanically translated into Verilog HDL.
;[http://hhug.me/?tags=hhugboy hhugboy]:A Windows-only Game Boy/Color emulator based on GEST with a focus on bootleg and unlicensed games.
