That was more or less my experience. I got the original Game Boy working well, and quite a few Game Boy Color games, but it eventually devolved into debugging CPU timing issues and edge cases with sprite bugs. At some point I realized that I had gained all of the knowledge I had wished to learn and since my own emulator was never really going to do anything that hundreds of others weren't already doing better I moved on. I will say it was a good learning experience however. Chip-8 is a good start, but there are lots of concepts that emulating a Game Boy will require that Chip-8 does not.
