GoBoy is a multi-platform Nintendo Game Boy and Game Boy Color emulator written in Go, with colour and sound support. It was built primarily as a development exercise and includes debugging features like opcode tracing and sound channel toggling.
Use cases

- run zelda.gb from the command line
When to choose
- you want to play most Game Boy (and some Game Boy Color) games on macOS, Windows, or Linux
- you want to study or contribute to an emulator written in Go
- you need debugging aids like opcode printing and step-through execution
When to avoid
