Coffee GB is a highly compatible Game Boy and Game Boy Color emulator for the desktop, written in Java and Kotlin. It includes a reusable emulation core plus a full desktop application with save states, rewind, rollback netplay, and broad cartridge and accessory support.

Use cases

  • play gameboy games on my computer
  • emulate game boy color roms on desktop
  • run homebrew gameboy demos and diagnostic roms
  • play link-cable gameboy games online with netplay
  • use save states and rewind while playing gameboy games
  • apply game genie and gameshark cheats to gameboy games
  • test gameboy homebrew compatibility

When to choose

  • you want a highly accurate GB/GBC emulator with strong compatibility including unusual cartridges and accessories
  • you need save states, rewind, screenshots, and battery saves
  • you want rollback netplay for link-cable games
  • you prefer a JVM-based emulator or want to reuse the Java emulation core

When to avoid

  • you need to emulate other consoles or handhelds beyond Game Boy and Game Boy Color
  • you need a mobile or web-based emulator
  • you want a libretro core rather than a standalone desktop application
  • you need ROM files included - they are not provided
