VisualBoyAdvance, our favorite Gamebody emulator, is on sale for $2.99 right now and for those of you who haven’t yet donated to WebOS Internals, know that a percentage of your purchase will make its way to the webOS hacking commune. Also, if you didn’t know, there’s a Super Nintendo emulator (with semi-transparent buttons!) available for the low low price of free.
In both cases, if either app manages to score some cash in the (nearly finished!) PDK Hot Apps competition, a portion of that winning will also go to WebOS Internals.
Catch a video of SNES in action after the break!
Thanks, Will!

In the world of game emulators that are now available to webOS users thanks to the recent webOS 1.4.5 update (I know, I know, sorry AT&T and Verizon folk), VisualBoy Advance isn’t the only name in town. DreamEngine aims to bring the days of 16-bit gaming glory back into the fold. Like most emulators you’ll have to supply your own ROMS, though two – Magical Chase and Tennis – come pre-installed. Performance is generally smooth thanks to the miracles of overclocking, though I found that the hardware keyboard controls can take a little getting used to and the view port is somewhat on the small side. Still, it’s great to see more options like these bubble up in the ‘Catalog.
