GBA emulator for iPhone and iPod Touch

I have updated gpSPhone, the Gameboy Advance emulator for the iPhone and iPod Touch. This is a public release for firmware 2.x.x, and is available via Cydia with the built-in ZodTTD Public Repo.

 

Here's what is new in gpSPhone v2.5.0:

 

- Made for firmware 2.x.x.

- Adds MultiTouch! Press 5+ buttons at once.

- Addition of MultiTouch fixes Metroid Fusion controller issues.

- Sound is better. It has some gaps during slow playback.

- Faster and more stable iPhone & iPod Touch code.

- Added recent code for removing the blur effect filter when screen is scaled. This improved performance as well.

- Removed annoying ad view. Uses new ad view in a separate window.

- Fixed the file browser bug.

 

Pending known issues:

 

- Sound has gaps during slowdown of emulation.

- Suspending the iPhone / iPod Touch results in the status bar being overlayed on top of the emulator. Looking into a fix.
