iPhone Gameboy? Hackers Working on it

Just when you get tired of playing Gameboy games on your Mac or PC, you can make your portable not-so-gaming phone and make it into a modern version of the old gaming device.

The emulator, called gpSPhone, was released on Wednesday. The main problems with using this is that besides having to hack your iPhone to use it, you have to supply your own games and BIOS. The developers commented on the release: “There’s still some work to be done in terms of compatibility/performance, but it’s rapidly improving. And thanks to NerveGas, we now have a nice iPhone and iTouch GUI and sound is now outputted,”.

Compatibility is called upon being lower than usual, but many games are currently playable. Sound is another ‘kink’ as output is disabled, but it is being emulated, but it will be fixed soon and performance will increase when that’s fixed. The GUI and instructions were also pointed out to be lacking.

gpSPhone is available for the iPhone and iPod touch, and it also apparently works with the Sony PSP. Download is available on Installer.app, or we have a link to download directly here.

Thanks: ComputerWorld
