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).

Documentation for cycle accurate Game Boy CPU
You could also consult the SameBoy source code which is a very accurate emulator.

GameRoy: a cross platform and highly accurate Game Boy emulator
So, what I have finally tried was figure out the timing from another emulator, in this case SameBoy, which appears to be the most accurate game boy emulator. In the end, I copy the timing from its ppu state maching, and its interrupt handling code. Took a lot of time figuring out how it was working.
