We always knew more fun and geeky stuff would be available on any device running Android Wear but not this early. Well, the wearable device OS is easy to customize anyway so no wonder a Gameboy emulator has been transported to a Samsung Gear Live by Davenport. He’s the same guy who previously ran Windows 95 on Android Wear.
CorbinDavenport shows off some popular Gameboy Color games running on a Samsung Gear Live connected to a gamepad—a Moga pocket controller. The idea of playing games on a small screen with a gamepad is a bit bizarre but it only proves anything can be done on Android Wear.
I couldn’t think of one reasons why I’d do this if I have an Android Wear smartwatch but this could be a cool way to teach the kids of this generation the games of our past. Gameboy Color games are now considered old school. After this, I’m guessing developers would try to bring retro games like Pac Man and Space Invaders---or those old Atari games you used to play.
Corbin Davenport has posted a tutorial on how to do this. You are free to do so just make sure you understand what you’re doing.
I wonder what could be done to Android Wear next…..Bring it on, geeks!
