Virtual Gameboy v3.5.8 for Android

"VGB emulates GameBoy handheld game consoles and their accessories. It will run GameBoy, GameBoy Pocket, GameBoy Color, and Super GameBoy games on your Android phone or tablet. VGB also supports the Pocket Printer, GameGenie cheat codes, and more. Please notice that VGB will not play GameBoy Advance games: you will need VGBA for that.

VGB package itself does not contain any games. You should place your own game files onto the SD card before running VGB.

Please, do not run any software you do not own with VGB. The author cannot and will not tell you where to find free GameBoy games.

Both emulators now support the portrait mode, althoug you will have to
enable it in the Settings. More importantly, there are major changes to
the video updates that make video much smoother and faster. Full list of
changes follows:

* Added portrait mode orientation.
* Optimized assembler rendering routines for portrait mode resolutions.
* Made display updates faster and smoother.
* Made fast-forwarding even faster.
* Removed remaining video artefacts (VGBA).
* Added on-screen MENU button (VGB)
* The Android SEARCH button will now fast-forward emulation.
* Fixed accidental exits on Motorola Xoom.
* Fixed crashes on Samsung Galaxy S2.
* Fixed accelerometer handling for both handsets and tablets."

Mupen64Plus 20111213

"- fixed issue 424 - now the SDL device number and N64 controller index are handled separately
- reverting the ini change which was not necessary
- improved input setup behavior (auto-config) by checking SDL joystick name for match in configuration parameters before accepting stored config. Also, do not re-load a stored Keyboard configuration that was auto-generated. These changes should resolve most of the trouble that users have been reporting with the input setup over the last year"
