I don’t personally have an mp3 player. I’m a guy who likes to stay behind the times I guess. After reading this story though, I am seriously thinking about picking up the iRiver iHP-140. Why? It seems somebody has figured out a way that you can port old GameBoy games over to play on the little music box.

Then again, it probably won’t take Nintendo long to get wind of this, if it is really true, and shut it down. A boy can dream though, can’t he? The way this is all done is through the Rockbox replacement firmware for the system. Here are a few pictures of it up and running.

Rockbox is an open source replacement firmware system for your Archos Jukebox, iRiver and one or two other players. There’s a new plugin for Rockbox in development called Rockboy, which allows you to port the gnuboy emulator over to your iRiver iHP-140 (only?) and play your favorite GameBoy Color games.
