gpSPhone v0.0.4 (GBA emu for iPhone)

ZodTTD is writing history today. First he released the only existing and public Gameboy Advance emulator for iPhone and to put a little bit of topping at it, it’s the second emulator for foreign systems on iPhone – The first emulated system was the good old NES.

gpSPhone is a GBA emulator based ZodTTD’s port of gpSP to the GP2X. gpSP is a great GBA emulator written by the talented Exophase. ZodTTD ported it to the GP2X, and added an (iPhone/iTouch compatible) dynarec. By using this coding technique, fullspeed performance of GBA is obtained on the iPhone/iTouch.

Things that still need work:
– Compatibility is lower than usual but many games are playable. This is being worked on as a high priority.
– Sound output is disabled, but it IS being emulated. So performance will only get better as this feature gets worked on.
– Auto frameskip might be off. Switch to manual frameskip if needed.
– GUI and instructions need a lot of work.

Plenty of quality (and some non quality) homebrews can be downloaded here from PDRoms http://www.pdroms.de/files/gameboyadvance/

Fixed problem with FM sound. It should work now with european ROMs that didn’t work before (Out Run, R-Type, California Games…). Thanks to Steve Cain (shiffy) and Bob Forgan for reporting it.

Modified main volume to a 50% if it detects that it’s running in a F200.

Bee Ball is a volleyball type game, but the difference matters. You and your CPU player are bees and of course you don’t push around any ordinary volleyball, no it’s a honeyball!

– Added title screen music (Sorry Nathan, it’s best I can do)
– Changed options menu fonts
– Codes optimizations
– Revised all game speeds (player movement and ball gravity)
– Finally, new AI code (but not means better AI code, still the basic)
– Fixed many (I hope all) bugs in net collision
– Added ball graphic trick
– And others things.

This version might be the final one.
