You don’t need to download anything to get GameBoy-Online working on your phone, multiplatform support is automatic, and you can instantly access dozens of classic titles include Metroid II, Super Mario Land, and the Pokemon series. While this is far from the best way to play old-school games on your phone or tablet, there are some advantages to browser-based play. It even ads, “Stop pestering me, iOS just CAN’T run this well.” The special iOS page may be a change in heart, considering the faster hardware available. On the GIThub page for the project, the README lists Mobile Safari and Opera under “Browsers that suck at performance or fail to run the code correctly”. Make sure you run the game in a Nitro-capable browser, as the performance will further degrade without a javascript JIT compiler. The games run smoother on the new iPad, but not quite at full speed. Games run barely at a sixth of their intended speeds on the iPhone 4, the start/select buttons are finicky, and sound is absolutely MIA on iOS. The current touchscreen version seems a little rough. Grant Galitz, a software engineering student at Florida Gulf Coast University, has released a HTML5 touchscreen version of his Gameboy Color emulator GameBoy-Online. Browser-based emulators have been available for years, but this is the fist time I’ve seen one one designed specifically for MobileSafari.
