safeboy, a gameboy emulator in Rust
safeboy is a GameBoy (8bit, black and white) emulator made in Rust. It's based mainly on RBoy implementation (https://github.com/mvdnes/rboy).
Learning purposes
This emulator is made for learning purposes. With that I mind:
- I documented as much as I can all complicated hardware instructions and other parts of the core (MMU, GPU, etc.)
- I try to have as many as test cases as possible (WIP!)
- Variable names are not abbreviated like it's usual in emulators, so it's more understandable
Supported features

- Timer
TODO
- Rest of MBCs
- Sound
- Serial Port
