Android gets its first emulator Androidboy

[tdowd]

Great idea, poor execution. It ran dog slow and the controls acted like someone was mashing all the buttons at once. Those issues may be related.

I'll wait for a working emulator.

ummm actually I'm looking forword for SNES and Sega Megadrive emulators
i don't think the PSX emulator will work that well because we've seen it on the iphone and it was awful :S

Glad to see apps like this on the market place, in time they will only get better.Glad I own a G1 so I get to enjoy all the fun..

[happyandyv]

Can someone compare tech specs for the G1 and PSP? That would be interesting to see

I can't believe this guy will start charging for this after Jan 2009, I bet we will see better non market emulator later on in the future and for free too.

Did androidboy change its name to mobileboy now?

G1:

Processor: Qualcomm® MSM7201A™, 528 MHz
ROM: 256 MB RAM: 192 MB
PSP:
Processor: 333 MHz
RAM: 64 MB
ROM: N/A

This all the info that should be pertinent to actual power of the system. If there are other specs about them you'd like to know, lemme know so I can find them.

Too bad it's slow and the controls are ridiculous. The Gameboy was a sloppy 4.19MHz processor. You'd think that a 528MHz could easily emulate this...so I'm guessing it has to be the emulator. Tactile keys (built-in keyboard) use would be nice instead of the single point touch screen. Charging for this app would be a joke considering how inefficient it is.
