Palm Pre and Pixi users have a new Gameboy, Gameboy Color and Gameboy Advance Emulator to check out. Called VisualBoyAdvance (VBA), developer dtzWill (with some help from webOS-internals) has put together this little gem for those that love them some old-school gaming action. The emulator itself is free, but as always, if you enjoy it be sure to share some love in the form of a monetary donation.

Before you give it a spin be sure to read this wiki page from top to bottom. Inside you’ll find instructions on how to install the app, install ROMS, plus details on gaming controls. The most recent version of VBA now includes skin support, and supports all Gameboy and Gameboy color games. Some Gameboy Advance games still experience some lag/performance issues… But I’m sure dtzWill is working hard on that.

Be sure to check out the video above… and if VBA doesn’t work out for you in the end, you may want to give the gnuboy emulator a look a very capable alternative.
