Game Boy emulator · C++20 · 2026 – present


A Game Boy emulator written with AI coding agents, spec-first and test-first, and measured against the public Game Boy test ROMs. The pass rate is the scoreboard, and every number gets published — up or down.

The point is not another emulator; there are hundreds, and better ones. The point is a fixed, respected yardstick for what disciplined agentic development can actually do on hard low-level code.
