Writing an emulator: the first (real) pixel
Another article that took longer than I planned because of palettes, but that I tried softening with more pictures, and actual screenshots this time!
Emulator
Everything you potentially wanted to know, maybe, about that GameBoy emulator I’ve been writing for the last couple years.
Writing an emulator: the first pixel
