the first release of the gb/c and gba emu "Visual boy advance" is out for the GP32! GBA games are running slow right now, but they are playable.
GB/C is nearly perfect playable

hehe. :afro: Imagine if someone was able to write an N-gage emu for the GP32 as well?

:freak:

GP32 doesn't have the CPU power to do N-GAGE.

Edit: For reference, GP32 is known to go up to 166MHz overclocked, while N-GAGE is stock 104MHz. There simply isn't enough headroom to do the emulation.

why emulate an n-gage?
You can play the games on some other series 60 phones!
I think that the Siemens SX1 is only the first one!
but there may be many others that are able to do the same! http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/68/33932.html

cheers, thanks for that info. What about utilising some form of Java JRE, some games on the symbian platform are written this way, e.g; such as downloadable Puyo-Puyo Clones?

Possible?

The GP32 is never going to be fast enough to run GBA games at full speed, but I'm starting to think that this type of system isn't that bad of an idea. If you could make a handheld the size of a GBA that could:

1. Have a 300mhz+ CPU that could play NES/SNES/Genesis/Game Boy Color/ MAME/CPS2/NeoGeo games through emulation.
2. Have enough storage for the equivalent of 5 NeoGeo games and a full-length Divx-encoded movie... actually even if it had 50meg memory cards that would work.
3. Function as a PDA.
4. Have an easy USB-based transfer system.

I'd seriously consider getting something like that if went up against the Sony PSP. You figure one of these Palm-based PCs will get that powerful in the next few years.

Not flawless. Nothing is, ever, perfect.
