November 10, 2009 There was an update to a Java emulator created for a Computer Science class at the University of Central Florida and I was able to give it a go with my Mac. It runs Gameboy and they are hoping it will eventually emulate Gameboy Color. It will run on any machine with JVM installed. I was able to run Mega Man V using my Macbook Pro, which is running the new Snow Leopard operating system.

I also have Ubuntu installed using rEFIt but, that is a story for another day. Mega Man ran good but, with no sound. Seemed to run glitch free other than the lack of sound.

I was not able to use my controller, but I reckon that with a keyboard mapping utility it might be possible. R78 Fixed a small bug in the window drawing. R77 Optimized window and sprite drawing. Also, performing the interrupt check every opcode instead of every scanline has a small performance hit, but gives better emulation accuracy on some games so I´m leaving it for now.

R76 Some optimizations. R75 Allow reverting back to slow background rendering for games that swap tile maps intra-frame. R74 Window drawing! It´s slow, but I´ll optimize that later. Also, throttling is turned on by default now. R73 Small update.

A little bit faster. R72 Preliminary background tile caching. Good for about a 2x speedup. Sprites still have some room for optimization.

To download grab it from the Box File Widget or go to the Cheers!

Mac users have a few great selections for that can run many of the popular Game Boy games today. Among them is the Visual Boy Advance emulator which can run games from the Game Boy classic, the Game Boy color, and the Game Boy Advance versions. Many gamers would attest that the performance of Visual Boy Advance emulator is quite competitive with others. As a matter of fact, it ranks #1 in the Emulator Zone among all the other Game Boy emulators with more than 70,000 votes to date. The Emulator Zone believes that it is probably the best Game Boy Advance emulator available in the gaming scene. The only issue with Visual Boy Advance is that it no longer has any updates since 2004.

Is another emulator that can play Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. Unlike other emulators that cater to all other Game Boy versions and all other handheld video games, the KiGB emulator is just a little bit faster and has better performance since it is dedicated only for Game Boy. So far, many gamers preferred the KiGB emulator for their Mac because it has the most accurate graphic emulation, as well as the sound quality and timing. It is always common for emulators to have some delays between the sound and the movement of the characters in the game and always a plus to see them with almost equal sound and movement timing.

OpenEmu is also an emulator that has capabilities to play Game Boy color using Mac. But in addition, it also emulates many other video games including SNES, Neo Geo Pocket, Game Gear, Sega Genesis, SG 1000 and Sega Master System. So this is quite a chunk on your system memory. But if you do have a big space in your Mac, there shouldn't be any problem if you prefer the OpenEmu. Multi-system emulators like the OpenEmu are an advantage to gamers who like to play with a lot more variety in games and not just limited one system.
