Game Boy and Game Gear Games Come to Commodore 64!
Two handheld worlds join the MHS Power Engine lineup: GBVM for Game Boy and Game Boy Color, and GGVM for Sega Game Gear. Compatible games are fully playable on your Commodore 64 setup, with two-button joystick support (C64GS style).
The emulators run on the TeensyROM+ cartridge while the C64 provides the picture, SID sound and controls. Bring your handheld favorites to the big screen, from the color Super Mario Land 2 DX to Game Gear's Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

Two buttons, ready to play
Connect a C64GS-style two-button joystick to port 2. Fire handles Game Boy's A or Game Gear's button 1; the second button handles B or button 2. Keyboard controls are also available, including Space for the second button and Return for Start.
