sameboy (GB/GBC Emulator)

SameBoy is an open source Game Boy (DMG) and Game Boy Color (CGB)
emulator, written in portable C. It has a native Cocoa frontend for
macOS, an SDL frontend for other operating systems, and a libretro
core. It also includes a text-based debugger with an expression
evaluator.

Features:
- Supports Game Boy (DMG) and Game Boy Color (CGB) emulation
- Lets you choose the model you want to emulate regardless of ROM
- High quality 96KHz audio
- Battery save support
- Save states
- Includes open source DMG and CGB boot ROMs:
    - Complete support for (and documentation of) all game-specific
      palettes in the CGB boot ROM, for accurate emulation of Game
      Boy games on a Game Boy Color
    - Supports manual palette selection with key combinations, with
      4 additional new palettes (A + B + direction)
    - Supports palette selection in a CGB game, forcing it to run in
      'paletted' DMG mode, if ROM allows doing so.
    - Support for games with a non-Nintendo logo in the header
    - No long animation in the DMG boot
- Advanced text-based debugger with an expression evaluator,
  disassembler, conditional breakpoints, conditional watchpoints,
  backtracing and other features
- Extremely high accuracy
- Emulates PCM_12 and PCM_34 registers
- T-cycle accurate emulation of LCD timing effects, supporting the
  Demotronic trick, Prehistorik Man, GBVideoPlayer and other tech
  demos
- Real time clock emulation
- Retina/High DPI display support, allowing a wider range of scaling
  factors without artifacts
- Optional frame blending (Requires OpenGL 3.2 or later)
- Several scaling algorithms (Including exclusive algorithms like
  OmniScale and Anti-aliased Scale2x; Requires OpenGL 3.2 or later
  or Metal)
