Gameboy4iPhone, a Gameboy and Gameboy Color emulator for iPhone has been released to the public. There is a small restriction, as it’s currently only available for people using the Cydia installer.

Quote:

Never heard of Cydia? It’s a quickly progressing package distribution software that is similar in concept to, but better framework than Installer.app. It’s made by Saurik of www.saurik.com. Saurik has helped me greatly in improving my softwares performance by providing me the tools I truly needed for development. His work is top notch.

I have been adding support to Cydia in addition to Installer.app. I currently have everything implemented, and to begin rolling out my Cydia repo, I am announcing an early release of gameboy4iphone v1.5.0 public for Cydia users.

Once you have Cydia installed, simply goto All Packages and goto the “Z” letter down to ZodTTD Repo. Install my repo and refresh the sources. Then goto “Games” and you will see gameboy4iphone there.

gameboy4iphone v1.5.0 is a brand new version, and first to be seen by the public. It is based on a port of GnuBoy done by yoyofr and Tinnus. It is fullspeed, fully featured, and has nice sound too! It even limits its speed to actual Gameboy framerate if going too fast.

I hope to see some new Cydia users, and people enjoying this limited early release. Although it will be on Installer.app in the coming days, those who give things a go are more than welcome to share their feedback in the ZodTTD gameboy4iphone forums.

If you like gameboy4iphone and would like to donate, click here and you will get my current and future betas to test.

Thanks
ZodTTD 🙂

This is a patch to the Allegro 4.3.10plus SVN to work on GP2X. It is the same 4.2.0 patch fixed for this Allegro version. Just compiling with this version, applications might get a 70-100% speedup! Beware this is a development version of Allegro.

News from the Giana’s Return team, but not actually about Giana’s Return itself.

As we are currently waiting for more graphics and have time in between, due to this we started the work on our runner up project “LB”. It’s going to be a Jump’n’Shoot game with a sciene fiction topic. We will use the Giana’s Return engine, this also grats, that this game will be available on multiple platforms.

The team will be slightly different from the original Giana’s Return team, so we can assure a much faster release 😉 Give us your thoughts!

Possible platforms of release: GP2x, Dreamcast, PSP, maybe others…

Vshot is an easy to use tool for taking screenshots on GP2X. Unlike other similar tools, it can handle non-standard framebuffer locations and all RGB graphic modes, so it works with most programs out there. It can run in the background and wait for a button press, and uses PNG format (libpng) for it’s output.
