MasterBoy is a Game Boy, Sega Master and Game Gear Emulator for the PSP.
It allows you to fully recolor your Game Boy games, not only by selecting one palette for the whole screen, but by recoloring each object on the screen!
And you don't need to be a programmer, there's no romhacking (you keep using the original ROM) and it works for nearly all existing games.
It features a skinnable interface with nice effects and quite a lot of options.
You can also listen to your favorite VGM and GYM files with the included music player.



| 04.09.07 | MasterBoy 2.02 |
| New version of MasterBoy: - EBOOT now has icon, wallpaper and sound (thanks to Ass-Itch from playeradvance for his nice BG/ICON) - Corrected the bug of SRAM not saving properly for some people - Added the last save date next to the save state slot number - Enhanced SGB emulation (runs a lot faster) - Corrected the garbage showing in the border of the render. - Reworked the default palettes to be closer to the GBC ones. - Augmented the maximum number of files per folder to 1024. Note: The bug that some people has, save states not working after saving/loading a few, is still not fixed (I could contact nobody who has this problem for debugging). In between, if you have this problem, use the RAM state and save manually before exiting (or save less often ). |
| 04.09.07 | VisualBoyAdvance Color Edition |
| This is a modified version of VisualBoyAdvance, which supports the colorization features of MasterBoy. Currently it is designed for development, I'll make a cleaner version later: just make a file named your_rom_name.pal.ini in the same directory as the ROM you will load, and follow the instructions of the documentation on colorization (available below). VBA CE will use this colorization file, and something interesting is that if you disable Emulator > Pause when inactive window, VBA will show the new palette on the screen instantly after you save your .pal.ini file. Very useful for testing. ![]() |
