You can use tools developed to convert
your BINs to run on the emulator. It does not actually include any
Intellivision binaries.
It could potentially run homebrew titles, no NFOs are provided for anything other than what's listed above.
These are information files that tell the emulator how to deal with the
binaries, not the binaries themselves. You need both before you can run
the games.
Advantages? Well, the GameBoy is portable
for one. It's also quite a technological marvel, since the GameBoy is a
pathetic Z80 system not at all conducive to emulating anything.
Again, this isn't A development system
that lets you run emulated games, it's THE DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM I USED TO
CREATE INTELLIVISION FOR GAMEBOY COLOR.. And, yes, you can also run the
Intellivision games indicated above, IF you have the original binaries.
