Is GnuboySP the only gameboy emu for smartphone?

Hi,

I was just curious if GNUBoySP by SpaceMonkey was the only gameboy emulator port to smartphone?

I noticed it runs a little jerky, so I assume theres quite a bit of frameskipping involved. Does anyone else find the same thing?

Smartgear worked almost perfectly, although sadly Bitbank stopped working on it. :)

Soo....theoretically there shouldn't be any working versions around.... [-X

There is GNUBoy, which doesnt support QVGA, and i know you have converted many emu's to QVGA, :) so possibly you could convert it and add some of the usual features you include such as save n load at button presses.

Just a thought. :D

MiG:uK - I am doing exactly that at the moment. But I'm porting a slightly different version of GNUboy called PocketGNUboy to work with QVGA. I was originally going to port VBAdvance which runs both GBA and GB games, but I was unsuccessul in getting it running smoothly on the smartphone, so I've abandoned it. You can see my early efforts in my other post if you want to try it out.

cool. that sounds awesome. i can imagine the smartphone not being able to handle GBA games. but then again i would leave it alone becuase apperntly nintendo have banned any emulation of the GBA, so i think its a ricky business.

where can i find the link for the early efforts ? i cannot find a link.

Its in my PicoDrive + PocketSNES thread. You can run the ROM but won't be able to play the games. I didn't hook anything up as the frame rates were terrible. You will need to shutdown the app through task manager when your done.

I guess I've just got too much time on my hands... :D Actually, I've just got started with this smartphone dev stuff, so I guess I'm still in the "honeymoon" period, so am still quite excited about the whole thing. Eventually the relationship will reach maturity and become routine, at which time I will have to start divorce proceedings and looks for a younger interest. If you catch my drift. hehe ;)

yer im a programmer myself, but only have the standard version of Visual Studio so i dont get all the features such as creating mobile apps. i wish i could i know quite a lot of .Net and reckon i could make some small, usefull apps.

If you're looking to write mobile apps, all the stuff is free on the microsoft website. Granted its not as easy to follow as .net but it works to a degree. You can also get the betas if your broadband is fast enough... I think you can download vs2005 and have the smartphone SDK installed along side it for WM5 development. You should give it a go if your keen.

For me I just do this stuff on the side. I'm more of a Delphi programmer myself, but I'm trying to get back into C/C++ again. So I'm doing these projects as little refresher courses :)
