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 :)Quote:

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.Quote:

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. ;)
