Summary

Michael built Standboy, a free and open-source Game Boy emulator that lives in your code editor's sidebar. It automatically wakes up when your AI agent starts working and hides when it stops. It supports GB, GBC, and GBA ROMs, saves to a local folder, and has no telemetry.

AI agents do most of the typing now, which means longer waiting minutes that could be more fun.
So I built Standboy, a little Game Boy that lives in your editor sidebar, wakes up when your agent starts working, and tucks himself away when it stops.
Free, MIT, no telemetry, just a fun thing.
