A GameBoy/GameBoy Color emulator written in C# .NET 8.
The aim of this project is to port David Whitney's CoreBoy (a now abandoned project, originally written in .NET Core 3.1) to .NET 8 and hopefully breathe some new life into it.
This project is still in its early stages. All of the original code is updated to be compatible with .NET 8 and most of the original code has been refactored and/or rewritten in order to ensure compatibility and modern best practices.
Some sacrifices have been made in order to increase velocity. For instance, native desktop support for MacOS has been cut but the goal is to implement it in the future.
Please feel free to contibute to the project if you have ideas for features, bug reports, or improvements. Pull requests are welcome.
