If you are like me, chances are you have always wanted to turn your iPhone into some kind of classic gaming console. Since it?s portable, turning it into a classic portable console would be excellent. However, for a while now, if you wanted to play these classic games on your iPhone or iPod Touch, it involved jailbreaking?the phone, which some people (like myself) are not willing to do with such a vital device in todays world. Well, now there is a site online that will allow you to play Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles on your device, without the need to jailbreak!
It is done?not by?downloading any apps for the iOS?device, but completely done via the Safari browser. The site in question is actually an HTML5?emulator which will allow the games to run. Currently, there are?a total of 108?titles for Game Boy and Game Boy Color that are available to play on the iPhone. When you access the site, you will be able to select from a list of games to play. Nothing fancy mind you, but it loads great because of the simplicity. Some games load nearly instantly (like the original Tetris), but other games could take a little longer, depending on if you are using a 3G/4G connection or Wi-Fi.
Of course, there is always an issue with something new like this. In this case, I have actually found 2 issues. The first problem is the fact that the games tend to be slightly slower than normal speed. I?ve played a handful of the classic titles so far, and some games are more tolerable than others. I am finding that older Game Boy Classic games as well as puzzle games work best for the format, while Game Boy Color games tend to be a little more sluggish. The second issue is that there seems to be a problem with audio. No matter what game I play, I cannot get the sound to play at all. At first I thought it was because I had the phone on vibrate, but after turning that off and the volume all the way up, still nothing. And, while I cannot confirm this first hand, there also seems to be problems using the site on an iPad. (I only own an iPhone 4S, so I cannot check that.)
But, if you are looking for a chance to turn your iPhone into a Game Boy, and don?t want to be bothered or scared of the entire jailbreak process, this just might be what you are looking for. For the heck of it, here is a list of all of the games currently available on the site:
