Yet another Game Boy Color emulator, written in Java:

It's quite compatible and brought me a lot of fun. Blog post describing it:

Wow, that is really cool!

I did not have the idea of creating an emulator, but some time ago I got curious as to how games were made for the GBA, so to try that I made a small Pong game [0]. It's really fun to play with 'old' technology from our childhoods.

Very cool.

I wonder why you disqualify your multiplayer mode? Sure on the SP it would be unrealistic but I see no reason two players couldn't share an original model GBA, holding one end each.
