Gameboy Emulator Released for PSP

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the let-the-hackalanche-continue dept.

HelloGamer writes "The first real Gameboy emulator has just been released for the PSP. It currently only works with the Japanese 1.0 PSP and doesn't have sound support - but it's amazing how quickly these homebrew apps are being developed."

    Reminds me of a post a couple of days back when they got linux to load on a Gameboy.

    Would really like to see a psp running a gameboy emulator running linux. Wrap that with wine and guess what, we'll have quake on a PSP.

    Wowie ... that is progress!

    Are you sure this isn't just Linux for the PSP? It sounds an awful lot like whene Linux first gets ported to new hardware...

    "Well, we got Linux on the it. Yeah. Well, the soundcard doesn't work. It only installs on a few models... from Japan. Xorg loads but only at about 253 colors. It's missing the left column's worth of 32 pixels. Only runs Emacs, pine, lynx and vi. What do you think?"

    The real question is: Does it run Doom 3?

    Ah, but even the Voodoo 2 runs Doom 3... I don't see why the PSP wouldn't be able to. :)

    Using the other spelling would have been copyright infringement.
