We do recommend taking a look at modding your own Gameboy Color, it’s a lot of fun, and is very simple to do! Or you can just wait for the Analogue Pocket or snag a Hyperkin Retron Sq instead.
So, there you have it, a look at our best Gameboy Color emulators that we have used and tested over the years. We are confident that KiGB is the most compatible and accurate GB/GBC/SGB emulator. There’s a few that are better than this is many ways, but it’s always good to have an emulator on stand by should something happen to the others on the list. A Mac OS port is done by Richard Bannister and is available here.
VisualBoy Advance is reliable, easy to use and very noob friendly, you can save your games, load them, map your keys, playing GBC and GBA plus add those old school cheats that your remember. SNES, N64, Wii, GameCube, NES, GBC, Genesis, DreamCast, Game Gear, GB, WSC/WS. Until Nintendo and others start legally selling ROMs themselves, there’s nothing we can do apart from use the ROM’s from they physical games we own, but that’s an article in itself. You can use emulator to play the GameCube games on your Windows PC, Mac. Many retro gamers appreciate open-source emulators because it saves them money, and it supports the “open” nature of emulating old games instead of paying a company who is using this grey area for profit.
