Gambit legal troubles stifle release
The Palm Gameboy emulator, Gambit, which was first announced here, will not see a fully playable release due to the legal issues of releasing an emulator. You can read Maven's full email update on the subject here. I have played with a beta of Gambit and it does work quite well. It's ashame that we won't see a fully playable release. But there is hope, a springboard for the Visor could be developed to plug an actual gameboy cartridge into a Gambit module. Maven is looking for help on developing such a spingboard. And if you are interested in helping out please drop him a line. Read the update.

RE: Gameboy springboard very unlikely
Not many companies will take the time/$$$ to develop a product that they KNOW will be
tied up in court for months, if not years by Nintendo even if they made their product legally.
Who knows, I could be wrong ... but I don't think I am. ;)
Think of What it would allow though.
Any other for public download???
Please email me of so at traxs@email.com
RE: Any other for public download???
What's the problem with an emu for this system?
Legality of playing backups of ROMs
I will go on.
My strong opinion is that you (or me) can develope any application for Palm platform.
It would be a legal problem for those only who use illegal ROM images.
As for me I do use only open sources for GB internal world and the ways to emulate it. So I do go on and hope to publish new version of my GBoyEMU with speed burst soon.
Check my site, please.
If you, Maven, or anybody from Nintendo or Gameboy developers do really want to port some of their titles to Palm Platform I would be happy to cooperate in any way. Just contact me.

RE: I will go on.
What about other Gameboy emulators ?
I have found SEVERAL gameboy emulators being distributed for other platforms without Nintendo doing anything about it.

I think that Nintendo should grant the emulator without
any questions! I also think that gameboy sucks and Palm
Rules!!
G-boy emulator.

Gameboy springboard very unlikely
because Nintendo will fight it with a vengence due to
their upcoming plans for the new Gameboy.
What value will then new unit have when you can do the
same stuff with a Visor and Gameboy EMU springboard?
I'm not saying it's a bad idea, it's just one Nintendo
will fight tooth and nail.
Getting developers to port apps directly to CF or springboard
modules is a much better way to go in my opinion.
