Nice. Hopefully they'll cover TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan...I loved that game.

fyi: the GameBoy Color also colorizes GameBoy games (you can spec 4-10 colors).

When I was the top screenshot, I thought something was suspicious: It didn't look like SML simply recolored, but altered a bit: see how the sky on the right shot is a solid gradient, but on the original it isn't?
But when I saw the video, it was the same as the original. Guess that screenshot was a mock-up...

@ required
I had a GBC and I don't think you could specify the colors. As I remember it had the option of picking from four different color palette swaps similar to what super gameboy did.

the PS3 SIXAXIS couldn't accoratly Emulate the Wiimote and Nunchuck. As well as they dont have a Way of duplicating the IR positioning. The PS3 Hardware may be more powerful, But the Controller can imate the Wii. Its a nice dream for people who cant find a Wii, but not Realistically happening.

Almack64,
You can spec a colorset to use for colorizing games. I doubt this emulator actually lets you spec the color of individual elements, I'm guessing it will do it the same way as the GameBoy Color does it.

I thought the same as you did, BPM.
Weird.
It looks awesome though.
This might give me reason to go and beat Metroid 2, the only 2D Metroid game I've yet to beat...

Impossible!! Unless when Nintendo made the original game the sprites had color but at the display level it was only gray scale.

The Super Gameboy had the capability built into it to add additional (read: more than 4) colors to specific games that were not programmed with the functionality in the first place. I recall Metroid 2 and Tetris, for example. I don't see any info on the Wikipedia page about this, but I'm reasonably certain that I'm not just making stuff up. This was seperate from the "super-gameboy enhanced" cartridges.

As someone who has actually used the "Gameboy Colorizer" I can tell you this is no big feat. I actually tried to colorize Super Mario Land as well. The guy just probably did that to his ROM and called it ingenius.
They did it for Metroid 2 (Calling it M2DX), and a bunch of other games too. You can download IPX patches for most of them.
This is NOT a big deal.
Also, for anyone interested, the Gameboy Colorizer is avaliable here: http://www.geocities.com/brinstarfiles/downloads.html

i don't know why i let it piss me off, but it seems like the reason everyone even buys fucking psps is to emulate nintendo games. that's fucking whack.

I always thought that SML was a whack version SMB. It actually turned me off to handhelds. That and how large they were :) I didn't buy one until GBC. When I think about it, its really funny I was pro-NES but anti-GB and Sega sucked. Man those were some akward and misguided years.

Required,
Game Boy Color had 12 preprogrammed palettes, I believe (Up/Down/Left/Right+none/B/A), but nothing as extensive as this. It would've allowed for four colors for background images, and three colors (plus transparent) for sprites (sometimes playable and non-playable character sprites were assigned different palettes, doubling the amount of color available for sprites), but nothing as elaborate as this.
This has to be a custom coloring job, with each element being individually recolored.

@ BPM
That's what I thought too, that the pallets were preprogrammed in GBC. I just always thought there were only four Up/Down/Left/Right. Looks like I was missing out. Yet another great example of why you should read the instruction manual.

Psh, screw that. I'd much rather stick with GBColorizer and running it in the Lameboy emulator for DS (which of course runs GB/GBC full speed). All this stuff does is help promote the steaming pile of crap that the PSP is.

There are romhacks which add colour pallettes to old monochrome GB games with the use of the Gameboy Colorizer utility. I know Super Mario Land is one of the compatible titles. This seems fishy.

Eh. That's OK, but I would really be impressed if it had an option to play old Gameboy games in their original yellow and green.

Looks fake to me. Or they have to optimize each ROM at a time and I doubt they've done all 10 billion.

Yeah, Rubang. That's kind of my feeling. Maybe someone edited the ROM so it's colorized. I don't see how any emulator could do this without some sort of heavy hand editing.

So what? I have a 3 year old mp3 player, and that has an gameboy emulator built in. You can download it for the iPod as well here:

Wow! How original! More "best game on PSP" and "now there's something worth playing on PSP" comments. Idiots, get some new lines already. I'm probably expecting too much from 'Cooking Mama' players. Maybe when you finally realize you're paying $30+ for games you could play on your cellphone for +-$5 you'll shut the hell up.
