GBA Emulator for WM5 Smartphones?

Been looking around for something to play my GBA games while at work on my MotoQ but haven't had the luck of finding anything that works yet. Hopefully someone here knows something I don't which is usually the case.

Damn MotoQ and it's lack of touchscreen!

Emule's probably your best bet.

How would Emule help me? You're talking about that downloading client right?

No idea the stats on that phone... but I'd guess in general most smart phones aren't up to snuff for emulating GBA just yet.

This works fairly well on my 400Mhz Intel XScale PocketPC. If your phone supports WM5 it should run this. Will it run well? Who knows?

That program uses touchscreen if i'm not mistaking, which the Moto Q unfortunately is not. There's two different versions of WM5 that I know of: PocketPC (TouchScreen) amd Smartphone (Non-Touchscreen).

Specs:

Intel Bulverde 312 MHz (Xscale)
128 MB Flash ROM

If my old Axim 400mhz@530mhz couldn't emulate GBA games too decently, I wouldn't hold much hope of a 312mhz doing so.

I'm sure that the PocketGBA emulator should be able to emulate them pretty well now, iv'e heard that it works just fine with many other PPC devices.

Although doesn't help me any one bit but that's ok.
