Our take

This is essentially the GBC-focused sibling to My Boy!, made by the same team with the same technical rigor. If your retro library is mostly original Game Boy or Color titles, the dedicated palette and battery-saving features make it worth the separate install.

What we like

  • Save states and fast-forward make older, slower GB/GBC games far more playable today
  • Custom color palettes for original Game Boy titles is a thoughtful touch
  • Same developer's ARM assembly optimization keeps it running at 60 FPS on weak hardware

Watch out for

  • Same legal caveat as its GBA sibling, no ROMs included
  • Overlaps heavily with My Boy!, so it's really for GB/GBC purists specifically
Verdict: A well-built companion emulator for Game Boy and Game Boy Color fans who want accuracy over flash.
