This is a work-in-progress gameboy emulator written in golang. So far most of the regular gameboy features are implemented. CGB support is mostly done with a few bugs still existing.
It should be compatible (with some additional work) to macOS, FreeBSD, iOS, WebAssembly and Nintendo Switch™ thanks to cross plattform support by Ebiten and GoMobile. For compilation support please refer to those projects first. Main target plattform is webassembly.

You might need to install some build dependencies. These are required by ebiten as our game engine. For further instructions (and install help for each OS) please refer to the ebiten documentation.
Afterwards you can build the bootroms with make bootroms and then use make all to build the emulator + start a webserver serving it on localhost:8008.
