Gameboy Doctor: debug and fix your gameboy emulator
Hey there! I've been working on a Game Boy emulator since last year and found the GameRoy project, which translated the PPU's logic from SameBoy, the (AFAIK) most accurate GB emulator around. I basically copied the PPU logic into my emulator and replaced the "state" property (an integer) with enums for some extra clarity.

GameRoy: a highly accurate Game Boy emulator and debugger written in Rust
What I did was isolate the logic of every component apart from the CPU (video, sound, timer, etc.) behind a correspondent fn update(cycle_count: u64) method (like in the sound controller or in the timer). Currently, I am calling these methods every 4 cycles, but the idea is that I would only need to call it before a read or write to a component register, or before a possible interrupt (I would need to figure out if it is possible to efficiently predict the next interrupt).

IronBoy: High accuracy GameBoy emulator written in Rust and available in the browser via WASM
Hey, since bro was kind enough to provide the source repo, you should probably post problems / feature requests to https://github.com/nicolas-siplis/IronBoy/issues instead of here.
- feboy (DMG GB emulator) now has full audio support! Special thanks to /u/KingWallmo for working on it the last couple months. Suggestions on what feature to add next?
- Open source project to get involved in as an audio developer
