JavaGB is a project for Java-based emulators for the the popular Game Boy handheld game console. Currently the following variants of the emulator exist:

• JMEBoy: the emulator version for J2ME (MIDP 2.0), i.e. Java-enabled mobile devices, such as mobile phones or PDAs.
• JSwingBoy: an emulator version using J2SE, i.e. the Java version for desktop PCs. It uses the Java Swing classes for displaying the user interface. When looking for a PC version of the emulator, then this is the way to go.
• MobileBoy: the emulator version for Android-based mobile devices.

Thanks for the news Snicko. Seeing how the main page was dead I'm taking on the role of putting this stuff on the main page, which was kinda forgotten recently
