Gamebert: A Game Boy Emulator

The helpful denizens of the #gameboy channel pointed me to a GitHub repo of logfiles, in which a kind person with a working emulator had run Blargg’s ROMs and logged the state of their emulator after each instruction.

This is depressingly familiar. The stuff you can find is either horrifically out of date or not written for someone new. The stuff that could help someone new is sequestered in a community outside the reach of any search engine. If you don't already know about, can't find, or can't interact with the community, lol git gud.

What a great post! Love the writing style and especially the lessons at the end. I looked briefly at the GameBoyDoctor repo and what a cool side project to come out of the learning experience.
