Thank you.

This should be "0.3.9".

You can add the missing "v" above : (commit (string-append "v" version))

See above.

I think there are a lot of buzzwords in this description: "extremely
accurate", "powerful debugging features", "making it ideal"... What
about something like the following boring description:

    (description "SameBoy is a user friendly Game Boy, Game Boy Color
and Super Game Boy emulator.  SameBoy is accurate and includes a wide
range of debugging features.  It has all the features one would expect
from an emulator---from save states to scaling filters.")

Otherwise, LGTM.

Could you send an updated patch?
