::::I'm just copying over TASVideo's page right now, but I just wanted to ask... you say specific revisions of real hardware fails certain tests (CGB and AGB?). Should that be in the table as well? I ask because the amount at the top that's graded 100% should say original hardware (the PS1 Tests page says PlayStation). [[User:FosterHaven|FosterHaven]] ([[User talk:FosterHaven|talk]]) 17:27, 4 March 2018 (EST) :I think that's a good idea. The 100% number comes from real DMG hardware, and that's what all the tests are measured against. When compared to real CGB and AGB hardware, Gambatte, BGB, and SameBoy are all 100% accurate according to blargg's tests. I also think we should add other tests as well (Gambatte and Mooneye specifically) with real bootroms (Mooneye specifically fails when not using real bootroms). Also for clarification, CGB and AGB = Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance. DMG = OG Game Boy. I also only ran the DMG_Sound and OAM tests on real hardware, so if you have a flashcart, testing everything would be a good idea. DMG_Sound combined test gives a black screen on emulators and on CGB/AGB, so those tests need to be run individually. I'll be happy to run all tests on real hardware, but my flash cart is a PITA (EMS 64M USB), so I won't be able to do it today. --[[User:Syboxez|Syboxez]] ([[User talk:Syboxez|talk]]) 17:30, 4 March 2018 (EST) ::Thanks for clarifying the models, I didn't think AGB meant the Game Boy Advance but in hindsight it should have been obvious. I'll add the revisions but comment them out until you can get results. They're not needed immediately <s>because I'm still trying to add the other tables</s>. Feel free to add the results in now or whenever you can.

MeBoy is an emulator -the only emulator, I think- built for J2ME cellphones. This includes most of Nokia, Sony Ericson, Blackberry and lots of others between 2004 and 2008. It's not active anymore and it has a lot of problems, but it's a working emulator that can run most Gameboy and Gameboy Color games well enough. If you own any of those phones, you have a cool console to carry with you. I've gotten to love this project, it's the first emulator I ever used and the one I finished most GBC games with. No other J2ME emulator is in this page, and I think this one would make a good entry, if only a honorary mention. ::Add it / [[User:Jpx|Jpx]] ([[User talk:Jpx|talk]]) 06:59, 13 December 2019 (CET) == Pizza Boy Emulator for Android == I'm new to editing this wiki, so I just want to ask about adding this Game Boy emulator to the page. Pizza Boy is an emulator for Android that has been around for a few years now and claims to be the most accurate emulator for the platform, which I found to be quite true after trying it out with several games. It's still going under further development as the developer tests out all the games in the library and occasionally updates the emulator so that all the games can run efficiently.
:::::I think thatIt's available from Google Play alongside a good idea. The 100% number comes from real DMG hardware, and that's what all version of the tests are measured against. When compared to real CGB and AGB hardwareemulator for GBA games, Gambatte, BGB, and SameBoy are all 100% accurate according to blargg's tests.

== SameBoy recommendation?? ==
SameBoy is becoming very accurate lately and has a great libretro core to boot. Should we recommend it? - Syboxez
:I don't know the answer to this but just wanted to stop by and say thank you for asking as opposed to just changing it. I wish more people would do that. We'll see how this one goes! [[User:Karasuhebi|Karasuhebi]] ([[User talk:Karasuhebi|talk]]) 20:14, 1 March 2018 (EST)
:::The reason there is no entry in the TASVideos link is because the emulator didn't exist as of the time of the testing. I think the UI is perfectly fine, but is completely keyboard-based. Not many options to worry about. There is also a libretro core if you don't like the UI. The testing done here was my own personal testing and the tests are the same ones that TASVideos used. Feel free to replicate these results with the test ROMs (link in the TASVideos page). I have seen no performance or input lag issues with this emulator. As for a comparisons entry, that would have to be added. I may do that when I have time if someone else doesn't beat me to it. --[[User:Syboxez|Syboxez]] ([[User talk:Syboxez|talk]]) 17:01, 4 March 2018 (EST)
