A simple GameBoy Color emulator - DinDongJI - 2026-03-27 06:45 Hi everyone, Following the breakthrough by @NatsukiMin regarding the HP Prime G1's system vulnerabilities (Run Doom on your PrimeG1), I have successfully ported a simple GBC (Game Boy Color) Emulator to my HP Prime. This emulator is based on the peanut-gb project. Like the Doom port, this utilizes the current firmware's memory handling to execute binaries via a backdoor. Controls / Key Mapping: Num: Open Emulator Menu Vars: A Button Toolbox: B Button Del: Select Enter: Start Directional Pad: D-pad (Up, Down, Left, Right) On: Exit Emulator Installation: Restart your Prime to ensure maximum available RAM. Upload BackdoorInstaller.hpappdir and the gbemu.hpappdir app to your calculator. Run BackdoorInstaller first. Launch the gbemu app. Known Issues: This is a work in progress. Due to memory or firmware constraints, some games may fail to load (screen freeze). Tested on firmware version 2025-09-15. Huge thanks to the Peanut-GB developers and NatsukiMin for the exploit and tools.
