How to play Game Boy games on PC
- Get the game files from a copy of the game you own. Check each project's page for the version it needs.
- Download the port from its project page. Every card above links to the port's page on PlayPorted, which links to the project.
- Point the port at your game files the way its project page describes.
Some ports take a long time to reach a release, and how they are made explains why. Decomp vs recomp covers the difference.
Questions
Is this emulation?
No. Each port is the game rebuilt as a native program, so it runs without an emulator.
Do they work on Steam Deck and Linux?
1 of these ports ship for Linux, which is what Steam Deck runs. Check each port's page for its systems.
What about Mac?
1 ship for macOS. Check each port's page for its systems.
Can I download the games here?
No. PlayPorted links to the projects and never hosts game files. Every port needs game files from a copy you own.
