Peanut-GB is a single file header Game Boy emulator library based off of this
gameboy emulator. The aim is to make a high speed and portable Game Boy (DMG)
emulator library that may be used for any platform that has a C99 compiler.
This emulator is very fast. So much so that it can run at full speed on the
Raspberry Pi Pico! Check out BENCHMARK.md for benchmarks of Peanut-GB.
Only the original Game Boy (DMG) is supported at this time, but preliminary
work has been completed to support Game Boy Color (see #50).
This emulator is a work in progress and can be inaccurate (although it does
pass Blargg's CPU instructions and instruction timing tests). As such, some
games may run incorrectly or not run at all. Please seek an alternative
emulator if accuracy is important.
Features
- Game Boy (DMG) Support
- Very fast; fast enough to run on a RP2040 ARM Cortex M0+ microcontroller
at full speed.
- MBC1, MBC2, MBC3, and MBC5 support
- Real Time Clock (RTC) support
- Serial connection support
- Can be used with or without a bootrom
- Allows different palettes on background and sprites
- Frame skip and interlacing modes (useful for slow LCDs)
- Simple to use and comes with examples
- LCD and sound can be disabled at compile time.
- If sound is enabled, an external audio processing unit (APU) library is
required. A fast audio processing unit (APU) library is included in this
repository at:

Download:
- This release contains several improvements to performance and compatibility.
Peanut GB and MiniGB_APU have now been demonstrated to run games at full
speed on the RP2040 microcontroller.
Some games may not work with Peanut-GB or have some problems; please open
issue if you encounter any issues.
Thank you for your support.
