GameboyCore Retro

RetroArch is a frontend for emulators and game engines. It allows anyone to develop a core which can be loaded by the frontend and use to emulate a particular platform.

GameboyCore is a Gameboy emulator library that I have been working on. Its self-contained designed made it very easy to deploy as a libretro core.
