GB VerseBoy: Game Boy emulator written in Verse, UE6's upcoming language

2 Upvotes

I'm a UEFN developer and just created my first emulator, which effectively started out as a port that went further and further as I started understanding the concepts and things started actually coming together really well!

It runs both in UEFN (in a Fortnite session) and as a standalone app if you have a build of the Verse CMD tool. Not very fast at all (30hz max it seems, and it struggles to quite reach that...) considering the language and lack of profiling tools available on the standalone... but really cool that it's possible! Just DMG for now but I'm thinking about expanding it to support CGB next.

Follow Reddit rules, be polite to each other, and don't use slurs or abusive language.
Keep it on topic (emulator development, not emulator usage)
Don't post things related to using emulators. This is for emulator developers. While decomps and recomps are interesting, they are not appropriate for this sub, and you should instead post to r/decomps or r/recomps
No vibecoded projects
No vibecoded projects (projects where the majority of the code was written by AI) or links to articles produced by AI. This sub is for human developers, not managers of robots.
AI disclosure is required
If AI is used in a project, the post MUST contain a clear disclosure at the TOP of the post explaining to what extent AI was used, and where. This should be a best effort disclosure, when in doubt you should be as detailed as possible.
No low-effort posts
No low-effort posts. If you are linking to a project, you should include a description of what the project is and some details about it. If you want people to be able to engage with you about your project, you should provide them the necessary context about it.
No posts written by AI
All content in a post MUST be written by a human. If you are not comfortable writing in English, you MAY use an AI translation tool, but you MUST disclose that fact and/or provide the original language text in addition.
