Comparison: Update!
==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 neededIt also has an advanced debugger.* [[Gambatte]] is hands-down probably the most accurate Game Boy Color emulator. It has a good range of optionsand features, though not quite as much as some other emulators. It's open source, but there is no activity lately.* GameYob [[Visual_Boy_Advance_-M|Visual Boy Advance-M (on the DSVBA-M) is the best ]] has solid GB/C emulation as well as GBA.* [[mGBA]] recently added GB/GBC emulator for that platformC support, so it's still in development, but it's already on the level of many others.* [[GB Enhanced|GBE+]] is a fairly new recently rewrited emulator that can load custom tiles in games, including colorized tiles for GameBoy games.* GeMP has some incompatibilities with later PSP models. GeMP is incompatible with GameCategories folders.* [[higanGiiBii Advance]] has full GB Camera emulation, including webcam support. Otherwise it is the only an unfinished emulator that properly emulates all of with the Super Game Boybasics set up, but it's features, though the quality of its Game Boy emulation is inferior to that of other emulators, unless one hunts down an older version of bsnes, which used the Gambatte core for its Super Game Boy functionality. The last version of bsnes to use Gambatte as its SGB core is version 0.73.* RIN has some incompatibilities with later PSP models.* [[Visual_Boy_Advance_-M|Visual Boy Advance-M (VBA-M)]] emulates GB/GBC games as they appear promising future currently on a GBA. This causes games to look unusually bright and saturatedhiatus.
* [[TGB Dual]] is an ancient emulator that supports link cable emulation. It supports [[Netplay]] though it requires VPN. libretro port supports local multiplayer using player 2's controls.
* [[KiGB]] is an old and obsolete emulator which boasted with accuracy, but was proven to be full of game-specific hacks. It has a wide selection of features, but there are emulators which can do much better now.
=Multi-system emulators=
* [[higan]] is the only emulator that properly emulates all of the Super Game Boy's features, such as utilizing the SPC sound chip. Older version of bsnes, used the Gambatte core for its Super Game Boy functionality, but later Byuu made his own Game Boy core, which still has lower accuracy. The last version of bsnes to use Gambatte as its SGB core is version 0.73.
* [[BizHawk]] uses a modified Gambatte core. It provides speedruning tools.
* [[MAME]] has solid Game Boy emulation, with worse Color compatibility.
