SameBoy is a user friendly GameBoy and GameBoy Color emulator for macOS.
SameBoy is extremely accurate and includes a wide range of powerful debugging
features, making it ideal for both casual players and developers. In addition
to accuracy and developer capabilities, SameBoy has all the features one
would expect from an emulator – from save states to scaling filters. An
experimental SDL version is available to Windows and Unix-like systems.
SameBoy v0.8 Changelog:
This version is not compatible with save states of older versions. This
version ignores key bindings set by older versions
