zBoy - GameBoy emulator
Copyright (C) 2010-2020 Mateusz Viste
zBoy is a multi-platform, open-source GameBoy Classic ("DMG") emulator that provides a load/save feature, can perform PCX screenshots and emulates an internal battery for ROMs that were designed to use one. It is also one of the very few emulators that make it possible to play games in 2-players mode over LAN, emulating a link between two consoles.
zBoy supports many additionnal features, too, like intelligent saving of hi-scores for some games that aren't able to save their hi-scores table by themselves because of the lack of a battery-backed RAM on the cartridge, and improving video output using graphic algorithms Scale2x or Scale3x.
zBoy allows to play GameBoy games using a keyboard or a joypad (or both). The emulator is available for Linux, DOS and Windows - but it should compile just fine on other systems as well.
If you are looking for some ROMs to test zBoy with, you can download a game pack of few public domain GameBoy games here. Note, that I do not provide any commercial ROMs.
Below I placed some screenshots of some GameBoy's ROMs emulated by zBoy (wanna see more? refresh the page!):
Running Linux? Look here for some pre-compiled packages.
