Eke-eke (http://www.tehskeen.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4443) has released a new version of his Gameboy emulator for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo Gamecube, heres the release info:

GnuboyGX is a port for the Nintendo Gamecube and Nintendo Wii (running in GC mode) of the open-source Gnuboy emulator, originally coded by Laguna and Gilgamesh. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnuboy

This port is based on the last 1.0.4 CVS source, released by Joshua_ from EFNet #gameboy: http://www.netaxs.com/~gevaryah/gnuboy-1.0.4pre.tar.bz2.

This has nothing to do with the previous GX port for GCLinux, this is a full standalone port using LibOGC API.

-=[ CHANGELOG ]=-

23/04/2007:
. corrected a little bug with SRAM/STATE saving
. modified key config upon request: SELECT is now assignated to Y Button

-=[ FEATURES ]=-

.Gameboy and Gameboy Color emulation with sound
.DVD & SDCARD support for rom loading
.Savestate load/save on Memory Card
.SRAM & RTC load/save on Memory Card
.support for zipped roms


-=[ WHAT'S MISSING ]=-

.Mono Gameboy palette user configuration
.RTC Synchro: Here's a note about RTC, taken from original gnuboy's doc:

Quote:
Some roms, notably Pokemon ones and Harvest Moon, use a realtime clock to keep
track of the time of day even when they're not running. Since gnuboy is just an
emulator, it can't work like a real cartridge and make things like this keep
happening while the emulator is not running. However, it can resync the Gameboy
realtime clock based on your computer's clock when it starts. This is what the
"syncrtc" option does. By default it's enabled. If you disable it, then no time
will seem to have elapsed between when you exit the emulator once and when you
start it again the next time.

Does this work with Sd Load and a Gecko adaptor?
Is anyone working on a GBA Emulator?
