One of the best palm softwares. It should be top ranked.

Works great on my Treo 680, it works great, and installing games is so simple, no long wait times or any problems, perfect! :)

Super program, especially when I can't afford any Gameboy at all. The error messages sometimes are funny, such as this redundant one,"An error occurred with the emulator kernel: a runtime error occurred."

Works absolutely wonderful with my Z2. Thought I do wish it could use gameshark codes. It would be pretty sweet if you could play gbc games on it, too.

Absolute best program for palm I have seen. For those using older palms (ones using the 16 MHz Dragonball EZ processor) you might look into freeboost (also on this site) which can speed up your palm in general and works wonders for this program. I just wish there was gameshark emulation included...

Works just fine on my nice new palm z22, now I can play final fantasy!

I don't usually write reviews, but this program is honestly the best I have ever had. **Warning**Can cause thumb and back problems due to hunching over the screen, furiously clicking buttons for hours. The only problem is is that due to the emulation, some(if not most) games are too laggy to play. I e-mailed Bodo and it is because Phoinix uses all of your proccessor trying to draw the pictures of the game. But I still give it 5-stars because unless you have a t-3 it can't be fixed. DOWNLOAD THIS APPLICATION, IT IS WELL WORTH IT!!!

WARNING: Your PDA's buttons wil get messed up, and you will discharge your battery much, much more rapidly! No, but seriously, this is the best Palm program I have. It gives your palm almost infinite possibilities (well, only thousands really).
For much better speed, sometimes even faster than the original gameboy, do two things:
1. Use the afterburner hack
2. Get the framskip-enabled version of phoinix, available at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=41834
Just get the ones with the "fs" in the names, under experimental. Run it at 2 or 3.

This program should be on that top choice list down at the bottom. o_O

Unbelievable program - as good as Liberty, but FREE! Thank you, Bodo!
***** [Sep 25, 2002] by Tejas
Excellent Game Boy Emulator. Works well if you install AfterBurner. Sound would be nice, and support of Game Boy Color games would kick Liberty out of the ring.

Very good gameboy emulator. Pity it is slow to respond and it is not in colour. Still, it is better than Liberty.

Superb time waster. The author did a great job. Thanx.
