They turn an Android watch into a Game Boy and play Pokémon and Mario

Little by little new initiatives, achievements and surprising news emerge regarding the platform Android Wear An operating system of Google developed especially for small devices wearables or that wearables, and that is attracting the attention of both users and of developers. And precisely these are the ones who are experimenting to see what these smart watches that carry this platform are capable of.Something that results in experiments as interesting as transforming this device into the old Nintendo portable video console, the charismatic Game Boy

This experiment comes from the hands of the same developer who managed to install the Minecraft game on these devices However, the achievement is even more laudable taking into account that it not only implies the installation of an application for the environment Android In this case, a further step has been taken by installing an emulator of Game Boy, manage to make several games work perfectly and, to make matters worse, enjoy it through a wireless remote or controller That is, transforming a smart watch Android Wear into aportable game console.

Although the result may offer few practical applications or comfortable solutions to play, it is quite a curious step in the evolution of Android Wear And it has been discovered how to connect a wireless controller and carry out steps programming to run applications that emulate game consoles. Of course, in this case of little potential. However, as shown in the video, powerful enough to play the classic Tetris or other flashier titles like color editions of Pokémon, the always great Mario and others that were released for the laptop of Nintendo

Installation and configuration is somewhat complicated, as long as you have knowledge about the Android environment and programming in general.The process is carried out with ADB (Android Debugging Bridge), a program created so that developers can test their applications on different devices that work with the operating system Android With it, and by taking several steps through other development tools, he was able to use his Android watch Wear as if it were an Android device anymore.

The video with the result is most revealing and tempting for players. However, the hours of play that could be used through these devices are unknown wearable knowing that, as a major defect, they have a very limited battery Also, using a wireless controller that needs to be carried around would be well worth the effort of playing directly on mobile. But it is still a curious experiment and one that could be useful for future versions of Android Wear, or to develop some kind of game or application that take advantage of the features of these smart watches.Of course more than one would want to carry and train their Pokémon on their wrist
