Also, performance isn't fantastic yet, but the emulator should be playable at least. Particularly, its user interface is lacking (read: virtually non-existent), and there are some known (and probably unknown) stability/compatibility issues. While Rustual Boy's core emulation is complete compatibility-wise, and in some respects is already one of the more accurate VB emulators available, the project is still young, and needs some time to mature.

It runs on Windows, MacOS, Linux, and likely some other platforms Rust supports. It supports basic video/audio output and keyboard input, and also a simple CLI debugger. Rustual Boy is currently able to emulate all commercial Virtual Boy titles, as well as many homebrew ones. Ok, the 'Virtual Boy' part was obvious, but why 'Rust'? In fact, Rustual Boy is written in the Rust programming language - a 'systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety.' Rust is a wonderful language with a thriving community, and as such provides a fantastic platform for an emulation project! Status The name 'Rustual Boy' is a portmanteau of the words 'Rust' and 'Virtual Boy'.

It can be used to play existing Virtual Boy games, as well as be a helpful development/debugging tool for homebrew for this platform.
