Bluetooth, GSM, and Gameboy

Posted by Hemos on from the advancing-the-boy dept.

brnsurgon1 writes ""The aim of the project was to investigate mobile gaming over GSM- and Bluetooth- networks, by developing a concept prototype, connecting a Gameboy to a mobile phone over Bluetooth. The results show that it is possible to connect two Gameboy Color over a GSM network by connecting to the phone using the Bluetooth plugin we developed for the Gameboy."" A couple other have submitted this story - it looks interesting. But, heck, I'm still trying to finish Golden Sun on my GBA.

  1. GPRS gaming by nordicfrost · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I love my Ericsson T68i (i is for "Intercooler"...) It has the classic game Naval Fleet, where you try to sink the opponents boats by guessing where they are. This game can be played by one player, vs the computer, two players on the same phone, or with another player connected vi IR or Bluetooth. Now, this is cool and all, but why not connect players via GPRS? GPRS is based on who much traffic (in MB) you transfer so a game of Naval Fleet shouldn't cost that much. Too bad Ericsson didn't include GPRS gameing instead of just posting the highscores via GPRS.

  2. Nintendo and Motorola by borgdows · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Motorola works on an 802.11 wireless gaming system, developed with input from Nintendo, that will serve for future wireless gaming systems.

    I can't wait for the GBA/net .. wow

  3. Nokia and Sega by horcy · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I cant wait for Nokia's/Sega's N-Gage. This will be
    a mobile phone where you can shove in tiny
    cartridges with games developed by Sega.
    That will own. They want to compete with Nintendo's
    GBA. I hope this will end Nintendo's
    monopoly on the handheld market.
