[wraggster]

Homebrew on the iPhone/iTouch has today joined the mainstream homebrew scenes with the stunning release of a Full Speed GBA Emulator for the iPhone/iTouch by ZodTTD, the release is unique because the iPhone/iTouch are touch screen gadgets.

having two emulators (nes & gba) on iphone doesn't make emulation mainstream on them :) (sorry to spoil your discussion, others, please flame now)

Impressive, considering it took a while to have GBA on PSP at a respectable speed and compatibility.

You can't see GBA emulation on a machine too fast like it appeared on the iphone :)

He said "joins the mainstream" not "becomes a mainstream".

the controls for it must be horrible .....

the controls for it must be horrible .....

i just got it on my iPhone. and yeah, the controls kinda suck, AT FIRST, but then you kinda get used to it after playing a few rounds.

Yeah no doubt controls will have major advantages/disadvantages with the iTouch/iPhone. An advantage is the controls will be virtual ( Meaning no button limits ) There will be various issues when it comes to "holding down" the virtual buttons and virtual analog sticks will be a pain in the ass for sure. So all in all I see potential, it will take some getting used too, and any problems I've mentioned can be overcome through some clever code. So we'll have to wait and see where this new scene brings us..

I got a feeling I'll be picking up an iTouch eventually. ;)

The gba emulator came really quickly on iphone that's cool. The best device for gba games has to be ds lite of course it was built in on the other hand iphone doesn't have any buttons that's crazy playing games on iphone won't be comfortable look like apple has messed up big time, even pda phones have buttons and stylus this phone is not reliable.

Haha! Great work ZodTTD. I see you're keeping busy while waiting for the Craigenator. :)

how's compatibility nowadays for gba emus? Last I tried, (probably with a flash 2 advance on a real GBA SP) I couldn't get but 20 minutes into golden sun without it crashing... at the same spot every time, so I couldn't continue.

It's funny seing this news since I actually picked up an ipod touch just yesterday, and already put a nes emulator on it :P Looks like I'll install the gba one and give it a try now
