The record

What it does: oxGBC is a Game Boy and Game Boy Color emulator written in Rust.
Portable core: The project says one portable emulation core powers Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and WebAssembly.
Accuracy: It aims for high accuracy using sub-instruction CPU timing and dot-level PPU emulation.
Validation: The emulator is continuously validated in CI against community test suites including Blargg, Mooneye, SameSuite, DMG-acid2, CGB-acid2, CGB-acid-hell, and Magen.
Gameplay features: It supports multiple save-state slots, optional automatic save and restore, configurable rewind, and adjustable speed with Slow and Turbo modes.
Controls: Keyboard and gamepad controls are rebindable, including support for button combinations.
Video features: Video options include custom GLSL shaders through an optional OpenGL backend, visual filters, LCD frame blending, and built-in or user-defined palettes.
ROM library: The desktop GUI includes a file browser and automatic ROM directory scanning for launching games.
Emulated hardware: It lists cartridge support for MBC0, MBC1, MBC1M, MBC2, MBC3, and MBC5, plus battery-backed MBC3 real-time clock and SRAM.
Retro handhelds: The PortMaster package supports aarch64 and armhf Linux handhelds with glibc 2.28 or later.
macOS limitation: The macOS app is ad-hoc signed rather than signed with a paid Apple Developer ID, so Gatekeeper blocks its first launch until the user opens it manually or clears quarantine.
Support: The maker welcomes bug reports and feature requests through GitHub issues, and asks accuracy reports to include the ROM title and what went wrong.
License: The project is licensed under GNU GPL version 3.0.
Intended audience: The project describes itself as an emulator for desktop, Android, retro handhelds, and browsers running WebAssembly.
