  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • gb-research

    Game Boy hardware research

  • Gekkio's GB-CTR is a good reference of the SM83 (Gameboy CPU) with access pattern withM cycle accuracy. The GB-research repo by the same author also contains a lot of information.

  • SameBoy

    Game Boy and Game Boy Color emulator written in C

  • You could also consult the SameBoy source code which is a very accurate emulator.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • DMG-CPU-Inside

    Reverse-engineered schematics for DMG-CPU-B

  • If you want to go deeper, you can look at the reverse engineered schematic of most of the stuff except the CPU core in the DMG-CPU-Inside project. You could also consult the MetroBoy project, which builds on the previous project and aims to be accurate pretty much down to the logic gate level.
