So you've installed Rockbox on your player, right?  After that it's as simple as selecting the gameboy files.

Rockboy doesn't run on the Mini. See http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/PluginIndex

You can help to make the plugin work on that target.  I'm assuming that part of the trouble is that scaling for that size of LCD hasn't been implemented, but I don't know for sure.  I don't think much work has been done on Rockboy recently.

it's the same for the mini 2G. Unless you're a programmer and do the work making rockboy run on the mini there's no way.
