of the open-source Gnuboy emulator, originally coded by Laguna and Gilgamesh.

This port is based on the last 1.0.4 CVS source, released by Joshua_ from EFNet #gameboy
[Only Registered Users Can See Links.  Click Here To Register].

This has nothing to do with the previous GX port for GCLinux, this is a full standalone
port using LibOGC API (GX, Audio, Inputs...)
See changelog.txt for the whole history.
