gpSPhone 1.5.0 Released
by Eric March on February 4, 2008 at 6:51 pm
ZodTTD is trickling out the updates to his coterie of software. First out of the gate is gpSPhone, the seminal (well, only) Game Boy Advance emulator for the iPod Touch and iPhone.
gpSPhone, the Gameboy Advance emulator, has been updated to v1.5.0. New changes in this release includes:
- Added support for both scaled/unscaled landscape and portrait view settings.
- Added support for firmware 1.1.3’s “mobile” user. gpSPhone should run well on 1.1.3 now.
- Added hardware accelerated scaling for better performance and look.This release should be very stable and slightly faster. You now have the option between portrait and landscape mode. Hardware scaling gives a smoothed over looking picture, which some may prefer, with the advantage of performance.
A big thanks to Exophase, the author of gpSP, for his continued work on emulation. Without him, gpSPhone couldn’t exist.
For public domain ROMs (legal homebrew games) , head to Kojote’s great site: http://www.pdroms.de
Downloads for gpSPhone v1.5.0 can be found by visiting the Download section. It is available at the ZodTTD.com public Installer.app repo.
All you folks who earned your manhood (or womanhood) in the trial-by-fire that is the 1.1.3 jailbreak can now play rousing tournaments of Mario Kart with ease, and the scaling and use of OpenGL should make it a lot prettier.
In case you hadn’t noticed, Zod also has a cool new look for his blog that’s worth checking out.

Thanks for the kind words about the new look.
Amazing how hard it can be to design a site.

Yes, the new look does look great Zod.
Keep up the great work with all of the emulators! Looking forward to the completion of SNES4iPhone.

I am currently running the 1.5.0 version and save games in the game as well as out do not work wether auto save is on or not… Any advice?
P.S. I have already changed my permissions to 755

ITry setting the permissions of the ROMs folder to 0755, and all of the emulator folders inside of that (NES, SNES, GBA, etc.) including all ROM files to 0777. This has apparently fixed it for most people. (I am still setting up my 32-gig Touch so I haven’t had the chance to try it out yet.
