The best Game Boy Advance emulators for iOS

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority From the Game Boy to the Nintendo Switch, handheld gaming has always been an absolute joy for gamers of all generations. Playing on the go offers a certain level of convenience that console games just cannot; but whether you’re looking to replay some of your favorite Game Boy titles or are just now discovering the retro handheld, finding the original copies of old Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games can be frustrating and expensive to acquire. Thankfully, emul

The Most Accurate Way to Play Game Boy Games Is Available Again, but There’s a Catch

ModRetro's Chromatic Game Boy handheld, made by arms dealer Palmer Luckey, now comes in ‘drone strike purple.’ Palmer Luckey, the man who took a career crafting VR headsets and turned it into a company that sells weapons of war to the U.S. military, also makes a Game Boy-like handheld. The ModRetro Chromatic, designed to play old Game Boy cartridges, has proved incredibly popular. Now, the handheld, in all its original colorways, is back after a year of unavailability, but with a few changes.

Palmer Luckey's ModRetro Chromatic portable console is now a thing you can actually buy

There's a new (ish) retro console on the block. The ModRetro Chromatic had a soft launch last year but is now "permanently in stock" for consumers. This is another machine that runs Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges, like the beloved Analogue Pocket and others. The Chromatic features a magnesium alloy build, so it should take a licking. It also features a backlit screen — something the original Game Boy lacked. As a matter of fact, Nintendo didn't fully embrace backlighting technology unti

The ModRetro Chromatic Is a Game Boy Fit for Your Apocalypse Bunker

It took just 24 hours for the ModRetro Chromatic to sell out when it launched December 2024. An unapologetic Game Boy clone packaged in a slick, tough new shell, it delivered the perfect dose of gaming nostalgia alongside a few modern upgrades. Keen to build on that success, ModRetro has revamped production efforts and rejiggered its supply chain to make sure the Chromatic can stand the test of time.

Build a Rocket Boy lays off staff after dismal MindsEye launch

The launch of open-world action-adventure game MindsEye has been rocky, to say the least.

An initial report from IGN cited anonymous sources saying that Build a Rocket Boy had entered the

Why Danny Boyle shot ‘28 Years Later’ on iPhones

In Brief Director Danny Boyle famously shot his post-apocalyptic classic “28 Days Later” on Canon digital cameras, making it easier for him to capture eerie scenes of an abandoned London, and giving the movie’s fast-moving zombies a terrifying immediacy. To make his decades-later sequel “28 Years Later” (which opened this weekend), Boyle turned to a different piece of consumer tech — the iPhone. Boyle told Wired that by using a rig that could hold 20 iPhone Pro Max cameras, the filmmaking team

Open Channel: What’d You Think of ’28 Years Later’?

For a long time, fans of 28 Days Later have held out hope for a third movie. To their surprise, Sony suddenly threw those fans a bone with the announcement 28 Years Later was happening, and what’s more, the first film’s creative duo of Danny Boyle and Alex Garland were returning to the zombie saga they began in 2002. With each trailer and peek at the film, Years has looked better and scarier. Reactions may have come surprisingly late—shortly before its release in theaters, weirdly—but despite t

'28 Years Later' Director Danny Boyle Says Shooting on iPhones Let Him Capture 'Startling' Violence

In 2001, Danny Boyle had a problem. To make his new postapocalyptic horror movie, 28 Days Later, he had to capture footage of a then-unknown Cillian Murphy wandering the abandoned streets of London. Shutting down the city wasn’t an option for the low-budget production, however, and neither was re-creating it on a studio set. Instead, the 68-year-old director made a surprising choice: He filmed with lightweight, low-resolution Canon digital cameras. The technology, which was cutting-edge at the t

Studio Ghibli marks 40 years, but future looks uncertain

Japan's Studio Ghibli turns 40 this month with two Oscars and legions of fans young and old won over by its complex plots and fantastical hand-drawn animation. But the future is uncertain, with latest hit "The Boy and the Heron" likely — but not certainly — the final feature from celebrated co-founder Hayao Miyazaki, now 84. In March, the internet was flooded with pictures in Studio Ghibli's distinctively nostalgic style after the release of OpenAI's newest image generator — raising questions o

Trump’s FTC may impose merger condition that forbids advertising boycotts

FTC chair alleged “serious risk” from ad boycotts After Musk's purchase of Twitter, the social network lost advertisers for various reasons, including changes to content moderation and an incident in which Musk posted a favorable response to an antisemitic tweet and then told concerned advertisers to "go fuck yourself." FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson said at a conference in April that "the risk of an advertiser boycott is a pretty serious risk to the free exchange of ideas." "If advertisers get
