binjgb vs Pizza Boy C

binjgb is a free, open-source emulator for Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Super Game Boy systems, implemented in C. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and in a browser through WebAssembly. The browser demo lets users upload a game file, and touch-capable devices display an on-screen gamepad. The project describes its timing as cycle accurate and says it passes many timing tests. Supported cartridge controllers include MBC1, MBC1M, MMM01, MBC2, MBC3, MBC5, and HuC1. Users can save and load battery backup data and emulator states to files. Playback options include fast-forward, pause, single-frame stepping, rewind, and seeking to a cycle; audio channels and background, window, and sprite layers can be toggled. The project describes Game Boy Color support as incomplete but passable and Super Game Boy support as mostly implemented. The debugger is marked as a work in progress. Building requires CMake and SDL2, and the debugger uses Dear ImGui. The repository includes an MIT license whose terms permit use, modification, distribution, sublicensing, and sale subject to its conditions.

Pizza Boy C is an Android emulator for Game Boy and Game Boy Color software. It provides save and restore states, fast forward, and slow motion, with hardware joypad support and serial link emulation through WiFi or Bluetooth. Players can adjust skins, graphics enhancements, cheats, palettes, borders, and control layouts. Screenshots can be saved as JPG images or animated GIFs. The maker says the emulator is written in C, targets 60 FPS even on old hardware, and uses little battery power. Pizza Boy C Basic is free, ad-free, and includes save states, fast forward, and slow motion. Pizza Boy C Pro costs 5.99 USD once. Games are not included, so users must supply ROMs. The maker says the apps have no account, analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting SDKs and work almost entirely on-device. Google Play lists no data collected or shared for Basic or Pro.
