Playing Gameboy color on Smartphone

Most smartphone games are either short and repetatives, or not very engaging (what I feel personally), and most importantly, not free. Luckily there is a project around which can turn your smartphone into a gameboy color!

Allow me to play classics RPGs while I am on the go. As a follow up to my previous post on playing divx videos on Smartphone, I think smartphone will slowly replace portable media devices, especially with insanely cheap sdcard (I just buy a 1 gig kingston mini sd card for $64!) Given a game (game boy color) is 1 mb, and a full screen divx movie around 200mb, its more than sufficient to put movies, many games, mp3s, podcast, msdn video, anime to keep me busy during travel time. I used to read news only over the phone only a year ago...haha

For battery life, the core media player can play for 3 hours straight, and still enough to last me the whole day.

If you want some..violent action..can download Doom
