Gameboy emulator comes to Android Wear because a watch needs those sort of things

Share

AndroidWearGameboyI know that after I got my Moto 360 I was thinking to myself, man I would love to play Pokemon Red, or Mario on that thing. Given its small size, it would do wonders to bring back the glory days of me squinting at a tiny screen in an effort to beat whichever game I was playing. Well it looks like I, and anyone else with an Android Wear watch, will be able to do just that.

Davenport — the same man that brought us Windows 95 on Android Wear —  in a YouTube video shows off a slew of Gameboy Color games working on a Samsung Gear Live connected to MOGA Hero Power gamepad. The only thing this video doesn’t answer is why you would prefer doing this on your smart watch over that of a bigger screen, such as the one on your phone. Even so, it’s nice to know that you have the same ability.

That being said, if you’re really gung ho about doing such a thing, you can check out Davenport’s video below and follow his tutorials. While I won’t be doing it myself, you can let me know how it goes in the comment section. Of course, typical boiler plate says that you’re responsible for your own successes and failures with it. Good luck.
