For those of you with hacked Mobile OSX units, your choice of emulators is no longer limited to the NES variety. You may have noticed gpSPhone.app in Installer recently, but it has nothing to do with GPS or calling.
It is actually a Game Boy Advance emulator, and it’s been available for a short time now. Although, previous releases were far from usable. The latest release in Installer, version 0.1.0, is finally stable enough to use, but you’re going to have to do some copy/paste work first.
Once you install gpSPhone.app, you’ll need to download and install the GBA bios. You’ll also need to download and install the GBA roms.
This is illegal. Do not do this if it breaks the laws of your country, but, if you choose to proceed, here’s what you need to do:
We can’t link to the GBA bios, but finding it isn’t hard. Searching the term "GBA bios" in Google is your best bet.
SFTP into your device from your computer. Copy the GBA bios file into root/media_sym/applications/gpSPhone.app.
Change the permissions of the GBA bios file to 755. This could be done through some SFTP programs or through Terminal.app or Finder.app. Both are available through Installer.
Any roms you download need to be copied to media/roms/gba.
That’s it. You can now enjoy portable GBA gaming, which is already possible without your iPhone/iPod Touch, but you had to do it your own way, didn’t you?
