Turn your iPod Touch into a Gameboy Advance, with a just released emulator for iPod Touch/iPhone, based on Expohase’s gpSP port.

Things that still need work:

• Compatibility is lower than usual but many games are playable. This is being worked on as a high priority.
• Sound output is disabled, but it IS being emulated. So performance will only get better as this feature gets worked on.
• Auto frameskip might be off. Switch to manual frameskip if needed.
• GUI and instructions need a lot of work.

You will need to obtain a copy of the GBA BIOS (gba_bios.bin) and place that under /Applications/gpSPhone.app/. For obvious legal reasons, we can’t provide a download for that.

Download: gpSPhone v0.0.4

Conceited Software has just released its GUI jailbreak. It’s not a one stop shop, and you will have to downgrade to 1.1.1 if you bought an iPod Touch with 1.1.2 installed. What the GUI does is perform the jailbreak after you run OktoPrep in 1.1.1 and then upgrade to 1.1.2. The Software runs under OS X and Windows, grabs the data off your iPod touch or iPhone, upgrades it with the Jailbreak, installs Installer.app and SSH.app, and reloads it back to your unit. The whole procedure takes about 10 minutes and after, you have a fully updated 1.1.2 jailbroken system.

Full instructions are in the README which comes with the GUI.
