    The only thing I can tell you about it (simply because that is
all I know myself) is the author is Mike Searl(sp?) from Canada, 
who is or was planning to eventually release it. When I last spoke 
to him it was in an early beta stage -- there was no sound support 
yet and it ran fairly slowly on his average-speed accelerator.

    I've since lost Mike's e-mail address and heard nothing about
the project for several months now. Perhaps someone out there who
knows it might want to find out the status of the project?

>I've never run into *anything* about an emulator FOR the GS.

    Neither have I, except the before mentioned AY-3-8910 sound
chip software emulators ("ProDOS ALF Player" and MDIdeas XMas
Jubebox program, which was an emulator disguised as a stereo
sound demo. The former actually works with a real hardware
ALF card, but in a IIgs can emulate one through software).

    The Gameboy emulator was never much publicized (that's an
understatement!), but there was never any secrecy about the 
project. It might have been a nice surprise, but it seems to
have fallen into limbo like some many other project. :/
