In their own words
DocBoy
DocBoy is a free, open-source Game Boy emulator written in C++17. It emulates the original DMG Game Boy and Game Boy Color, with M-cycle-accurate CPU emulation and T-cycle-accurate PPU emulation using a Pixel FIFO. Supported cartridge types include NoMBC, MBC1, MBC2, MBC3, MBC5, MBC7, HUC1 and HUC3. Its frontends provide save and load, save states, fast-forward, configurable palettes, screenshots and an SDL graphical menu. An optional GDB-style command-line debugger offers disassembly, breakpoints, watchpoints, stepping, rewind and memory viewing. DocBoy can also operate as a libretro core through RetroArch. Releases provide Windows and Linux executables, while the project documents an Android libretro build; RetroArch is described as supporting Android and iOS. Save states, link cable emulation and a real-time clock are listed. The project says perfect emulation remains distant and accuracy can affect performance. It uses the MIT license and accepts bug reports and proposals through issues or pull requests.
Ocelot
Ocelot is a free, MIT-licensed.NET API gateway for microservices that need a unified entry point. It handles HTTP and HTTPS services on platforms supported by ASP.NET Core and supports WebSocket and secure WebSocket connections. Developers install it as a NuGet package in an ASP.NET Core project, configure static or dynamic routes, and deploy the result as a self-hosted ASP.NET Core application. Gateway capabilities include caching, request aggregation, authentication, load balancing, rate limiting, logging, and request and response transformations. Documented service discovery providers include Consul, Kubernetes, Eureka, and Azure Service Fabric. Routes can use registered ASP.NET Core authentication schemes, including JWT bearer tokens, and restrict access by scopes. Documentation includes Auth0, Okta, and IdentityServer bearer-token examples. Ocelot targets.NET 8,.NET 9, and.NET 10. The listed plan costs nothing. Ocelot does not directly support GraphQL and points developers to GraphQL for.NET for integration. The repository reports no SECURITY.md file and no published security advisories.
