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.
