TurboGrafx-16 Game Box for iPhone

Search for pce.emu in applanet and it should come right up. Yes takes normal roms.

Android FTW

 

BTW, I can't find the PCE Emu on Applanet. I guess you just have to dish out the change for the emu and then load up the roms? I'm guessing it just takes the same roms as anything else, eh?

They just updated the app yesterday and it controls A LOT better. Still not perfect, but definitely an improvement.

Still no 3G. Apple is f$%^ing with their marketshare.

Yeah, they seem to be hurting.

hahahahhahahahaa.

I played with the Game Box and it wasn't that bad. I certainly prefer a physical pad and buttons, of course, but that won't be available without using a bluetooth pad/Wii remote/snap-on pad accessory.

I haven't seen any new games come out for gamebox for awhile.

Is it dead?

I quite like it for the Bonk games.

Don't want to go off topic put I have this on the Android.

It can use multiple Wii controllers with a single touch.  If the iPhone app can use bluetooth than it might be worth a look.  That feature is pretty awesome.  Trying to play games made for a controller on a touch screen sucks.

The Android app above even supports Arcade CDs so I play some Sapphire at work.  Get some strange looks when you are playing with a Wii remote on your cell phone.  That is until you whip so more controllers out and start some multiplayer PCE!

The iPod, IIRC, doesn't have a full Bluetooth stack. It only supports a few specific protocols and is wired in iOS not to go outside of those protocols. You'd have to hack a controller through the dock connector rather than Bluetooth.

Yeah, it takes the same roms. I've got it on my Droid X. That + Wiimote Controller+ HDMI out+ Wii classic controller = portable game library that's pretty damn awesome.

I know it wasn't too long ago that I was expressing my dissatisfaction with emulation in general, but I have to admit: that sounds pretty darn cool!  d^__^b

A PS3 controller on my Android Honeycomb tab works pretty nice too

I enjoy GameBox for two reasons:

1. The free demo every day. I get my "on-the-go" PCE/TG-16 fix that way.
2. That swweeet, sweet opening music track that plays throughout the whole menu system. Is this song from a game? Or is it an original track composed for the app. If so, who composed it? It sounds so akin to the spirit of an old PCE/TG-16 game.

What's the track?

Android's Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) will, like Honeycomb, allow for the use of USB controllers. Now what we need  is a Turbopad USB controller. heh

It can be done: clicky.
