How do you get gameboy emulator on iTouch?


You have to Jailbreak it. When you get a custom firmware, make sure it has Cydia with it. From there you can use Gameboy4iPhone and GpsPhone (GBA Emulator). After that you can just DL the ROMs. After you download them, download an application called OpenSSH (from Cydia), and then download WinSCP to your computer (just google it). WinSCP is a really cool application where you can view anything connected to your network. Look at the IP on your iPod touch and type it into WinSCP. The username is "root" and the password is "alpine". After that, locate the folder var/mobile/media/ROMs/Gameboy ROMs (or whatever the App specifies.) Then just put the roms into that folder.

Note: If your iPod's screen turns off, then you have to make the screen active again for it to connect back to the network; in other words, OpenSSH/WinSCP will freeze and not work unless you make the connection active again.

Note #2: If you're playing Gameboy/GBC games they will work automatically. If you want to play GBA games, you need to get a BIO.bin file and load it into the GBA ROMs folder. Put in an md5 sum (it will specify) and then you're ready to go. Have fun!


If this is the wrong board, then sorry. Also, they have dreamcast, and PSX emulators, but I have not tested these, nor have I tested the NES/SNES emulators. They should work just the same, so try them out.  doodella;
