The answer is a definite no, but you probably could have inferred that from the rest of the thread.

Probably not. The iPhone and the Zune have 0% relation in architecture.

Because iPods != Zunes. Got it? Zunes > iPod. Stop complaining, or I'll roast you and make you into a nice flambee for the rest of the members. : p

Yes, it is because the iPod was able to be hacked.

To be more specific, the ipod can run native code because it was hacked. Which I'm not sure 100%, but I believe is either

a) Generally faster OR
b) they're just porting long-designed emulators instead of creating new ones.

Yeah. The XNA runtime is just a modified version of the .NET Compact Framework, which is notably slow. While the desktop version of .NET approaches the speed of native code, the Compact Framework is nowhere close.

so is anyone actually working on this ? cause this is something that i would like to see, and its probably not all that hard to read a gameboy rom anyway
if it helps, maybe you could use the back button as a menu that would lead to the start and select buttons that arent used too frequently anyway

No one is working on this because the limitations on XNA make the Zune not powerful enough to act as a gameboy emulator.

You can argue as much as you want, that won't make emulators on the Zune possible any faster.

If microsoft gave us more ram to work with, I believe the emulator would run very smoothly; hopefully not everyone game up on this.

Then you would be believing misinformation.

RAM only would let us load more, not necessarily load faster. In order to create a working emulator, you would need to escape the Zune firmware entirely. As previously mentioned, the .NET framework that we're working with is too slow to properly achieve such a task.
