[HOW TO]Emulate SNES,GBC,SMS and more on your iPhone/iPod Touch

[Xandu]

Here's a nifty trick for the people who don't know about GBA emulators, on how to emulate SNES,GBC,GB,Arcade,Atari,Chip 8,Colecovision,Game Gear, MSX, Sega Master System on your iPhone/iPod touch.

All you need is:
-Jailbroken iPhone/iPod Touch.
-WiFi connection for SSH.
-gPSPhone latest version.

The trick is: using emulators for GBA, you can use them on gPSPhone, not all of them work yet though. I only tried GB/GBC and SNES.

What you do is:
1.Convert a ROM you like using any of the emulators located here. Emulators 4 GBA.
2.Copy the .gba file after you convert it to /Media/ROMs/GBA.
3.Fire them up using gPSPhone and you're done!

I'd recommend SNESAdvance for SNES and Goomba or Pocket GB for GB. Have fun!

Tests:
SNESAdvance

Chrono Trigger:
Start up with white screen, it then switch to a screen with horizontal lines. Game would not start.

Super Mario World:
Shows the "-Nintendo- Presents" sign and freezes.

Menu button of gpSPhone still works so it is not crashing.

Will try later with different platforms and games.

jumped through all the hoops, loaded up 9 or 10 snes games. most all of them started to work, but NONE of them were even REMOTELY close to playable speed, and almost none of them showed graphics that weren't completely garbled beyond recognition. guess thats what happens when you emulate an emulator, hehe
