-RealBoy is a Free, Fast and Accurate, Game Boy/Game Boy Color/Super Game Boy Emulator for Linux/Unix. Now ported to Vita by xerpi.
+This is a port of [https://realboyemulator.wordpress.com/ RealBoy], a free, fast and accurate, Game Boy/Game Boy Color/Super Game Boy Emulator.
-==It has both technical as well as educational goals==
+==Features==
-Technically, it aims for the following:
-) Accuracy. Perhaps the most important technical goal, as seen in the best closed-sourced emulators, such as KiGB and BGB, and some free emulators, such as Gambatte and MESS.
-) Performance. Show that it is possible to implement a very fast emulator without sacrificing accuracy.
-) Feature-rich. Implement advanced features such as a flexible internal debugger.
-Besides the technical goals, RealBoy pretends to serve as an education tools; it includes a set of documentation files describing the design and implementation issues found while developing the emulator. This can be found on RealBoy's official website (realboyemulator.wordpress.com).
-We hope the documentation can be useful to individuals that would like to learn about how emulators work in general, and the type of problems you face when implementing a fully-functional emulator project.
