iPhone Games: iPhone Hackers Release Game Boy Advance Emulator
Though we have seen a good amount of activity from the iPhone hacking community with respect to the release of native iPhone applications, we haven't seen much or any activity in the iPhone games after the release of Nintendo Emulator for the iPhone. In fact, I just realized that it...

I downloaded this via Installer. -
this is cake to install. first use installer.app program to install gpSphone
then visit this site... http://files.filefront.com/gba+biosbin/;6021104;/fileinfo.html download the bin file.
use ibrickr and click files. then clip the applications directory. find gpSphone.app and upload the bin file you download there.
then visit the roms site...

download your roms to your pc and upload them via ibrickr to your iphone after you create a ROMs/GBA directory under var/root/media (anyone who installed NES understands this simple process.
tested and works great! -
here is a link to picture the installed emulator.

all in all the emulator runs pretty smooth.... no widescreen support yet.... controls work decent... sound is great
-
As for the first app to have sound.. Doesn't nes have sound too along with a bunch of other apps?
I also did install it from installer so... It really isnt that hard.
Also it is just as hard to this to work ad it is for nes too also because you have to find your own roms for both. The only difference is you do need to find the GBA BIOS which you dont need to do for nes.
I have tested many games such as pokemon emarld and it works very well (except for a little bit of lag, and how the game gets cofused between right and B in many
menus). Everything seems to be good enough to play almost all games.The one thing that is needed is more ability to save games.

can you put the games into the folder without ibrickr? i have 1.1.1, so ibrickr doesn't work..
-
all good worked fine for me sound gose a bit funny dut ok apart from that updates should sort that out :)

I downloaded this application a few days ago. I installed it through installer app. I use windows so i ran winSCP, typed in my id, password and opened my applications folder on my iphone on the computer and then opened gpsphone and googled a gba bios file dowloaded it to my computer. I then drug it into my applications folder and created a folder for gba roms, var/root/media/ROMs/gba. Everything works fine.

its a little laggy, like i cant play mario car cuz it freezes every 2 seconds for like 1/2 of second so its annoying, is it supposed to be like that? or am i not doing something right? I drop the Bins folder, and added roms, thats all i had to do right?
-
I can't get this to work, tried 2 different roms.
Perhaps my bios is no good?
the link in the article doesnt work anymore.
My Iphone is 1.0.2 -
there is an update to this, version 0.7.

Re: Slim Boi
1.0.2, I remember that version. Why don't you try updating? The bios goes into the gba folder not into the folder where all your apps are located...You can do this using sendspace...
I got space invaders...cool it's like the first version of emulators a bit choppy but I can't wait for the update so I can play Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance..
Sweet!

I then drug it into my applications folder and created a folder for gba roms, var/root/media/ROMs/gba.but ican't play

gpSPhone is an awesome app. I can play my favorite games on my PC and continue on my iPhone when I'm outside. The recent upgrades had made the emulator look nicer and more features, but one HUGE PROBLEM, it lagggggggggggggggggs so bad that it kicks me out of the game every time when i play my RPG games. Verison 0.0.8 have not lagging problem, starting from 0.1.0 it lags really bad. Please fix this problem. It's nice to have it look nice and lot of features, but we can't play if it LaG like this. I love your work, please fix it... OR post the 0.0.8 version back.
