RetroArch SameBoy Core: Game Boy and Game Boy Color Feature Support

What the SameBoy core covers

SameBoy is described in the official RetroArch documentation as an extremely accurate open source Game Boy (DMG) and Game Boy Color (CGB) emulator written in portable C. It is packaged as a libretro core for RetroArch, identified in the documentation as the Nintendo - Game Boy / Color (SameBoy) core.

Documented feature support

The documentation includes a feature support table for the core. It marks Restart, Screenshots, Saves, Save States, Rewind, Netplay, Core Options, Memory Monitoring for achievements, Controls, Remapping, Rumble and Subsystem as supported, while marking RetroArch Cheats, Native Cheats, Multi-Mouse, Sensors, Camera, Location, Softpatching, Disk Control, Username, Language, Crop Overscan and LEDs as unsupported.

Features marked as unsupported

Two categories of cheating are listed as unsupported: RetroArch Cheats and Native Cheats. Peripheral-style features also appear as unsupported in the table, including Multi-Mouse, Sensors, Camera and Location. Media and patching features are likewise marked unsupported, specifically Softpatching and Disk Control.

Interface and display entries

Several RetroArch frontend options are also marked unsupported for this core: Username, Language, Crop Overscan and LEDs. Users relying on those particular frontend behaviors should check the current documentation before assuming they work with SameBoy.
