Gameboy Advance Emulator (gpSPhone) for iPhone/iTouch Released!

Posted by greg

Transform the wondrous iPhone (or iPod Touch) into a Gameboy Advance! Introducing gpSPhone — a GBA emulator based on Expohase’s gpSP port.

Developer ZodTTD first ported gpSP to GP2X and has now added iPhone/iTouch compatibility. Utilizing the dynarec engine, full speed performance of the GBA can be achieved on both Apple devices.

You will need to obtain a copy of the GBA BIOS (gba_bios.bin) and place that under /Applications/gpSPhone.app/. Due to legality reasons we won’t be supplying that.

Things that still need work:

  • Compatibility is lower than usual but many games are playable. This is being worked on as a high priority.
  • Sound output is disabled, but it IS being emulated. So performance will only get better as this feature gets worked on.
  • Auto frameskip might be off. Switch to manual frameskip if needed.
  • GUI and instructions need a lot of work.

gpSPhone is available via Installer.app; I recommend going that installation route. You may also download and install the emulator manually. We’re currently hosting v0.0.4. The manual method isn’t advised as many updates are likely ahead.

Enjoy!

Download: gpSPhone v0.0.5

Great work! but still kind of far from playable now cuz FPS is low and sound is broken. I have tried with 2 roms btw. I would wait for future releases.
