Overview

TI-Boy SE is a Game Boy emulator for some of Texas Instruments' Z80 based calculators. Because of intelligent use of the shadow registers of the Z80 (Which the GB-Z80 lacks) this emulator manages to emulate the Game Boy fast enough to be playable. The confirmed compatilibity at this point is low, in part because the emulator is not public yet, in part because of the limited host platform.
