    Game Boy: Complete Technical Reference

    For actual documentation, you probably know the pandocs, but there are a lot of more specific information in the docs linked in their references, especially the cycle-accurate GB docs, the GB complete technical reference by Gekkio. You can also check the source code of the relevant test roms, like the Blargg’s test roms for more general behaviour and the MooneyeGB test suite for more specific things.

  • gb-test-roms

    Collection of Game Boy test roms.

    So just start with implementing the CPU's fetch/decode/execute loop and a rudimentary memory bus, so that you can run simple test ROMs. You don't even need a display for many test ROMs (like Blargg's well-known test suite, which writes the results to the serial port as well as the display). After that you can do test-driven development (in a way) and focus on making more and more tests pass. Don't worry about details until you need to.
