👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

sameboy is a user friendly, powerful and open source Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Super Game Boy emulator. no cap. it has every feature one would expect from an emulator — from save states to scaling filters. every single one. it ate and left no crumbs.

SameBoy is extremely accurate and includes a wide range of both powerful debugging features and user-facing features, making it ideal for both casual players and developers. so whether you're just here to vibe through a childhood game or you're deep in the trenches debugging your own homebrew, she's got you. 🫶
