I suggest use both and compare
there are some pros and cons:
- gameyob is able to colorize black and white games like gameboy color does (use bios)
- lameboy has higher compability, some roms runs slithly faster, some not
I tried launching it on my flashcart (R4i Gold 3DS RTS Plus), and as soon as it initialises it gives me the Guru meditation error. Work fine in DSi mode on my 3DS.
(RTS and cheats are turned off).
