here's the result which ig tracks but yeah, half of the answers were "idk"

Aaaand landed!
Loading snapshots, resetting the game and auto-loading snapshot at startup all work now, picking either sameboy or bsnes. Hopefully you can't even tell it's switching cores on the fly :3

Still need to fix snapshots, but this is looking very very promising
When you switch from GB/GBC to SGB/SGB2 or back, it shuts down one core (and its runner process) and launches the other one. It's still decently fast, weirdly enough

Now, SGB. So I started added plumbing for it, but I discovered that bsnes sometimes fails to restore savestate for SGB... That is kinda a problem...

Instead, I fixed a bug where hybrid GB/GBC games like Link's Awakening DX would still default to GB (oops) and enabled SGB2 support for all games (since SameBoy accurately emulates SGB being sped up, and SGB2 not doing that). Once we have LLE, it's gonna be even more different.

Alright, SameBoy ported and I switched the cores over.
Lots to say here, but TLDR:
1. Same as for SNES earlier, this will break savestates - save unsaved games and do a backup before updating
2. Palette preferences are gone, use GBC/SGB models and button combos on GBC title screen

That said, it's not consistent at all. Like I took this screenshot with no slowdown at all, not even in Kirby's Dream Land 3 which was the slowest of the 3 (makes sense since it's high-res)
Another one: as one can imagine, savestates are _not_ compatible between the 2 (saves are) → version bump.

I started cleaning up GB palettes. First step: separate DMG/GB Pocket/Light palettes are gone, instead these are now color correction modes for the grayscale palette.
In other words, previously it was:
- Grayscale (turns into DMG with LCD filter)
- Game Boy (DMG)
- Game Boy Pocket
- Game Boy Light

Ah, slightly cleaned it up and landed it. I'll do the rest later.
Instead, I added back the VBA color correction, so GBA now has 3 options: Original, Dark, GBA SP (the latter is still the default). And ofc no correction at all if it's disabled.

Ok, it works now, tho still need to clean up that branch + I'm not exactly happy with the UI/naming. The game settings code is now *much* cleaner, though I missed a fairly obvious way to make it nicer (wasn't sure if vala supported detailed signals. It does).

So I started implementing that, BUT for per-game variants I need to fix some technical debt in GameSettings first, so halfway there.

I now also hooked up (monochrome) NGP and WonderSwan LCD colors into the color correction preference.
The hardest part is GB, and that needs more changes, so it still works as before for now.

This is now fixed, so color filtering for LCD changes the subpixels themselves. Looks *much* better. Like here blue is actualy just blue and red is just red, as it should be.
I also optimized this shader, so it doesn't lag on my laptop's internal 4K screen anymore ^^

And now I have color correction for the 3 remaining platforms. I also resolved that question about Game Gear - yep, that's just a thing it does. So, GG games are now appropriately blurry. I don't necessarily *like* how it looks like, but it's more accurate.

And here's what I have in highscore.
I don't have monochrome LCD colors properly exposed anywhere aside from LCD filter atm (it _does_ exist separately but only used for savestate thumbnails when using LCD filter), so it's just that.

Oh no, I wanted to link to the page I used as a reference and it's gone (fanblogs.jp/garymack/arc...) and not archived anywhere either. Bummer :/
However, google has the images (not the page) cached:
Tho looking at it, it _is_ greener in highscore, tho not as green as DMG GB.

Next: LCD color correction is now a toggle-able preference, so if someone prefers the vibrant (too vibrant in some cases IMO) look for LCD games instead of a more subdued one (usually with blue tones specifically being more teal).

Also, A and C buttons both act as select, while B is cancel. I'm not sure how to present it in the UI, so it just says 🅰️Select 🅱️Cancel
But yeah. Playing Nintendo games like this is kinda cursed, but it works

Some other surprises - N64 is also quite nice, at least the games that don't need too much movement precision, so very much not Super Mario 64 or Banjo-Kazooie, but, say, OoT or MM work really well.

Next: more gamepad support. Since I have money I got an 8bitdo M30 and it's now fully supported, along with an easy way to support other Sega-style gamepads. This involved adding a bunch of extra gamepad mappings - obviously MD, Saturn, 6-button PC Engine controller have layouts that fit perfectly.

Along with linear filtering this is enough on its own, without toning down artifacting or anything else, to reproduce these colors. And they look more accurate than before too (left: old, right: new)
Now I'm *hopefully* done with this ^^

i still can't get over that it _works_ now. My favorite time sink is gone 🥴
It looks so weird too, like Broken Path is *vibrant* now, even compared to other towers, and even with CRT filter on (which would normally dull it a bit).
