An independent group of hackers have just released v0.0.5 of gpSPhone, a GameBoy Advanced emulator for the iPhone and iPod touch. It’s in its early stages right now, so it’s pretty buggy, as are most early releases. While they say “many games are playable”, there are still some issues with the sound output, and the GUI and instructions are still in the works. While it’s not too usable, it’s got a lot of potential.

If you’re thinking about giving it a try, good luck. It requires some hacking. Some things to keep in mind are that it needs to be run from /Applications, and you have to supply your own BIOS and iphone games.
