Playboy is a Nintendo Gameboy emulator for the Panic Playdate!

Download the emulator

You can grab a .pdx file to run from the Releases page.

Bring your own games

The first time you start Playboy, you'll see "No game ROM found".

See these steps for downloading/playing whichever games you want.

Help! I can't run Playboy on macOS

If you see "pdex.dylib cannot be opened" when you try to run the emulator,

  • Right-click on Playboy.pdx in the Finder and click "Show Package Contents"
  • Right-click on the pdex.dylib file and click "Open"
  • Press "Open" in the dialog that pops up

Now you'll be able to run the .pdx :)

Controls

Left, Right, Up, Down, A and B are exactly what you'd expect.

Start and Select are interesting, because the Playdate doesn't have enough buttons!

Turn the crank clockwise to press Start, and counter-clockwise to press Select.

The core

Playboy is powered by my Rust Gameboy Emulator project gbrs.

If you fancy a challenge, I'd love to see people try and port it to more systems!

For the platform-specific side of things, it uses the awesome crankstart bindings by Rob Tsuk.
