The remaining space was dedicated to extremely tiny Start and Select buttons. Left and right movements areВ accomplished by swiping on the screen, and A and B buttons by tapping the screen. One of the most challenging aspects of making Giovanni a reality was addressing the limited input options offered by Apple Watch.В OвЂ™Flaherty-Chan decided that it was necessary to enlistВ the Digital Crown for up and down movements.

As you might expect, being a prototype it can be a bit slow and sluggish, but itвЂ™s still an impressive feat when you consider the limited nature of the Apple Watch hardware and software. The emulator, named Giovanni after a PokГ©mon villain, is open source and available for developers to explore on GitHub. DeveloperВ GabrielВ OвЂ™Flaherty-ChanвЂ™s prototype Game Boy emulator is looking to help the cause by making a library of Nintendo games available on Apple Watch.

If youвЂ™ve checked the App Store lately via the Apple Watch app, then youвЂ™re likely aware of how limited the gaming library is on watchOS.
