Classic gaming on the go is some-more or reduction old-hat for many smartphone platforms, but Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 is still personification catch-up. Latest further is this Game Boy emulator, using in Silverlight courtesy of Samuel Blanchard, who created a video next as well as afterwards triple-letterboxed it for your squinting pleasure. Right right away it is still a work in progress, unable to save your in-game swell and needing some further polish, though it positively looks similar to it runs well sufficient — yet hopefully he gets which aspect ratio fixed before offering this up for download.

It’s an critical time in any young OS’s life: NES simulation. Windows Phone 7 has only upheld this critical puberic miracle, interjection to a tough work of Matt Bettcher. Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn’t seem to commend a significance, and is gripping the emulator out of the Marketplace (as per the no-funny-business conditions of service). Matt’s perplexing to drum up some community support to change Microsoft’s mind on a matter, as well as in the meantime he’s formulation to open source his plan. There’s video after the mangle of the emulator running inside the WP7 emulator. It does a heart good!

Sweet, sweet Game Gripper. You make smartphone gaming the rather reduction cramping knowledge, as well as right away you’re spreading happiness to a fourth generation. Owners of Sprint Epic 4G can right away get their Gripper upon, and can do so with a lovely new Genesis-inspired layout which offers dual rows of 3 buttons and the D-pad — and then another 4 buttons for good measure. It’s rather excitedly demonstrated after a break as well as, similar to the progressing models, will set you behind $14.99. Now, if usually we could get handset makers to start adding shoulder buttons upon their cellies.

When a dear console similar to a Sega Dreamcast rises from a ashes it’s not the outrageous surprise, but we never thought we’d see a day when the homebrew community would unearth Nintendo’s Virtual Boy. Behold: the Flashboy Plus, the second of two peep carts grown specifically to coax development for Nintendo’s strange stereoscopic system, featuring the new backup battery (unlike a 2007 original) as well as the full 16Mbit of memory, reportedly sufficient to fit any a single of a system’s 22 commercially released games. Since a battery only keeps one save state stored at a time as well as there’s no approach to review a battery-backed memory, you’ll still have to finish a single game before you begin another, but at slightest this way you don’t remove your progress each time you close a system off. Believe it or not, a initial batch of 50 units has already been oral for, but you haven’t necessarily longed for out yet; €90 (about $113) is your ticket to an chosen (read: tiny) virtual utopia of piracy and homebrew when the second set ships during year’s end.

Once hacked, a Zune HD’s wild fanbase squandered no time in ensuring a device could play Doom. Now, a ZuneBoards wish to give it Zelda, as well. User BackAtIt has taken a wrappings off a initial operative emulator for Zune, that is now able of personification Game Boy as well as Game Boy Color ROMs, though small else — yet this “Visual Boy Zune” app is ported from a same VisualBoyAdvance formula that’s enabled handheld simulation given 2004, it’s in early alpha with utterly the bit of work left to do. A new refurbish enabled state save simulation as well as the ROM selector, though there’s no audio outlay, let alone Game Boy Advance await; BackAtIt says he’ll need to rewrite most of a codebase to take value of a Zune HD’s Tegra design. Still, it’s never as well early for the explanation of judgment video, as well as you’ll find dual becloud ones after a mangle — unless you’d rather than try it out for yourself during a source couple.

Look what we have here — a preview of 3G4, a N64 emulator developed by NWorksDev. Compatible with the iPhone 3GS and the iPod Touch 3G, this bad boy appears to be rendering down the graphics (as one would expect) but all in all it seems to be running pretty smoothly. Of course, this is a work in progress: the developer (who claims to be 14 years old) say s that he has to overcome duplicate button registers, delayed presses, and some crashing — and he has yet to implement the L, R, and Z keys. That said, t his thing is pretty sweet! Hit up the YouTube links for in fo on becoming a beta tester — but not before you see the thing in action after the break.

A little bit of emulation is a basic rite of passage for a modern day device that allows open software development, and the N900 is no different. We firs t saw the device rocking some SNES way back in September, but apparently Nokia couldn’t pass up an opportunity to demonstrate the phone’s prowess and put up its own video of a few emulators in action. Unfortunately, while emulators are completely legal, the ROMs that run on them are rarely legit, and d espite Nokia’s odd assertion in the video that “most publishers allow individual title usage provided that the user is in possession of the original title,” the phone giant has since pulled the video from the internets, and Nintendo is reportedly looking into the matter. Of course, N900 emulatin’ is still easy to co me by from third parties — check one out after the break.

The elusive Pandora handheld and the Phantom gaming system ha ve a lot in common. Thankfully, there’s one critical difference, and that’s the fact that the dutiful souls behind what’s sure to become the world’s next favorite pocket gizmo actually ha ve som e proof that mass production is tantalizingly near. The latest update has quite a few images of the final mold, and we’re also told that mass production has begun on the mainboards. All that’s left to do is add a touch of paint, snap a few things together and yell “Hello World!” for all the world to hear. Hit the read link if you’re badly in need of getting some drool out of your system.
