Have a Game Boy emulator you want to test for accuracy? This collection of compiled Game Boy test roms might help. It includes (in alphabetical order):
- AGE test roms
by me - Blargg's test roms
by Shay Green (a.k.a. Blargg) - Bully,
Scribbltests
and Strikethrough
by Hacktix - cgb-acid-hell,
cgb-acid2,
dmg-acid2 and
Mealybug Tearoom Tests
by Matt Currie - Gambatte test suite
(as the original Gambatte repository is not public anymore, we use
pokemon-speedrunning/gambatte-core
instead)
by sinamas - GBMicrotest
by aappleby - MBC3 Tester
by Eric Kirschenmann - Mooneye Test Suite
by Joonas Javanainen - Mooneye Test Suite (wilbertpol)
by Joonas Javanainen and wilbertpol - (parts of) little-things-gb
by Damian Yerrick - rtc3test
by ax6 - SameSuite
by Lior Halphon - TurtleTests
by Brian Jia
For each test rom we have to consider:
- Game Boy devices & SoC revisions: What device & SoC revision is a test compatible to? This is quite important as some tests will not run on all devices. See the Mooneye Test Suite's readme for a list of devices and SoC revisions.
- Exit Condition: When is a test finished?
- Test Success/Failure: How do we identify test success or failure?
Details on this can be found in a separate readme for each test suite:

All noteworthy adjustments can be found in the changelog.
Note that version numbers are NOT based on semantic versioning as I am not capable of determining what update to any included test suite is actually a breaking change. Instead, major version numbers are increased with every addition of new test suites and minor version numbers are increased with any update to already included test suites.
