When I reviewed the Playdate in 2019, I said it felt like a successor to the Game Boy; its monochrome screen and humble power reminded me of how Nintendo's handheld took the market by storm in 1989 despite not offering cutting-edge technology.
Things have now come full circle in a way, because Playdate has been capable of running Game Boy games via emulation for a while, and a new emulator has just been released for the device.
As spotted by @deeb.bsky.social, CrankBoyHQ offers "stable, full-speed" performance with sound and even has options for reconfiguring each game to properly make use of the console's wider screen. There's also the ability to make use of the Playdate's crank in certain Game Boy titles.
CrankBoyHQ is forked from another Playdate Game Boy emulator, PlayGB, and is based on deltabeard's Peanut-GB.
