SameBoy is a highly accurate open-source emulator for the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color, with Super Game Boy and Game Boy Advance modes too. It is known for timing accuracy and a built-in debugger, and it ships its own free boot ROMs, so it needs nothing from Nintendo. This is the Windows version by LIJI32.
Download:
Download SameBoy 1.0.4
This is the official 1.0.4 release (9 October 2026), unchanged: sameboy.exe, the debugger, shaders, and the free boot ROMs the project bundles.
How to install / use:
Not included: Game ROMs. The boot ROMs in the zip are SameBoy's own replacements, not Nintendo's.
Also on Digiex: Gambatte 1.3.6 for Wii U and Best way to back up GB/GBC savefiles.
