Developer ZodTTD has released a new update to gbSPhone 0.0.5, a GameBoy Advance emulator for the iPod touch and iPhone.
Although it is a small increment from 0.0.4, the developer said that it is a crucial update, introducing an improved graphical user interface and enhanced sound support – which the author credits to help from Nes.app creator NerveGas.
 Some performance fixes were implemented as well, through the default frameskip settings and some dynarec tweaks.
The gpSPhone project is completely open source, and is available directly from ZodTTD's website.
Since gpSPhone is a third party application, users interested in running the software are required to 'jailbreak' their device, a practice that Apple has consistently disabled with new releases of the iPhone firmware.

Nintendo's Pokemon Diamond enters the All-Formats videogame chart at number one.
...[Read]
31-07-2007
Pokemon Diamond has achieved a double whammy in the Charts this week. The DS title from Nintendo has both dislodged Harry Potter from the top spot and become the fastest selling DS game ever.
Not only that, but Diamond also nabs the honour of being the second fastest selling Pokemon title, coming in behind only Pokemon Yellow on the Gameboy Colour seven years ago. The game's partner in strange little creature catching, Pokemon Pearl, lands at Number 3.
Diamond's chart-topping shenanigans are close to being spoiled by Activision’s Transformers, however. The movie tie-in gets a 76% boost in sales thanks to the film's release, keeping it at Number 2. It only misses Number 1 by a teensy 217 sales.
EA's Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is knocked down to Number 4 after four weeks at the top.
Nintendo platforms have six exclusives in the Top 10 this week, with four on DS and two on the Wii. Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree sees a 44% rise in sales on its launch week, but slides one place to Number 5. Wii Play also drops in spite of a sales climb, slipping two spots from Number 5 to Number 7. The Nintendo platform exclusives are rounded out by Dr Kawashima's brain training titles, with More Brain Training dropping three places to Number 6 and the original dropping one place to Number 9.
The Top 10 is finished off by Activision’s Shrek the Third at Number 8 and Tiger Woods PGA Tour '07 from EA at Number 10.
EA has another sporting game in the Top 40, with Rugby '08 making its first appearance at Number 22, while Activision’s Transformers: Autobots débuts at Number 38. ...[Read]

GameDaily is reporting on commentary from Nintendo of America's George Harrison, who essentially says the company will no longer be using the Game Boy brand. While at one point the DS was the 'third pillar' along with the Game Boy and the GameCube/Wii, the handheld has in recent years more than proven its worth. "This year in our marketing you really won't see much push against Game Boy itself, ...

I got ahold of a Nintendo DS Lite and the extremely popular game, Brain Age, and I've been a happy camper ever since. Why? Because it is my considered opinion that if Apple were to make a hand held game system that cost about $100 it would look and work a lot like the DS Lite, and that's high praise
