As they should. I love koreader. And I also love gambatte-k2, though I have to say that playing GBA titles in black and white feels wrong.

    How well does that work on an eink device that is designed to only need to refresh the screen once every several seconds? I assume an emulator like this needs to run at dozens of frames per second.

    It works fine for turn-based games like your Pokemon and Fire Emblems. I don't recommend trying to play something like Mario or Metroid. Honestly the screen can update at a decent rate, but the ghosting is awful.
