About Gameboy.live
Gameboy.Live is a Game Boy emulator written in Go, made for learning purposes. You can play ROM files on a desktop in GUI mode. The project can also run as a server, so players can join by telnet from a terminal or share one game in a browser. The public demo server is down, so cloud play requires your own server. The project is released under the MIT license.
