Brunni has posted an entry in the Neoflash Coding contest:

It's a Game Boy emulator for PSP. It allows you to fully recolor your games, not only by selecting one palette for the whole screen, but by recoloring each object on the screen! Here are examples of what you could do:

And you don't need to be a programmer, there's no romhacking (you keep using the original ROM) and it works for nearly all existing games.

MasterBoy also emulates the Game Boy Color, Master System and Game Gear. The SMS/GG emulation is based on MMSPlus, and has been improved a lot since then.

Here you'll find the latest updates and documentation on how to colorize your games. Especially, the current method is quite complicated, you can wait for me to write a tutorial on how to do it with PSPLink.

Other features:
* Rich interface with discrete effects, redefinable shortcuts and buttons (with autofire feature). Also it's fully skinnable.

* Manage and sort your favorites folders and files to acces them easily.

* Integrated music player supporting GYM and VGM formats.

* Several display options like Gamma and Color Vibrance, which allows you to choose how colored you want your display to be.

* Z80 under/overclocker: allow you to correct games that are often slowing down or displaying glitchy / blinking sprites.

* Some improvements over MMSPlus in the SMS/GG part:
- Speed up. Now 16-bit render mode is enabled by default. You can revert to 8-bit if you want, and it will run even faster.
- Compatibility issues
- Better country detection (now nearly all games should detect the country correctly and not play too fast anymore).
- The bar at the left of the screen can be automatically hidden (depending whether the game is actually using it or not)
