GBA Emulator Development

[JDUK]

The only reason for a GBA emu is for technical achivement or one upmanship on the GBA. The SNES has lots of GBA ports on it and a whole lot better ones to boot. Wait for a good SNES emu and you wont care about the GBA.
Want Metroid Fusion? hey Super's just as good
Want Link to the past? its on SNES along with FF3(6), SoM, and a bucket load more RPGS
Want Pokemon? DL the GBC versions of them.

The only reaon i brought a GBA was for SNES gaming on the go. Now ive got 1 better

Well, so far as disassembling and re-assembling's concerned...

Actually, there's already a program available that does it... there's just
a) not a GP32 version
and
B) no tables for the GBA conversion process...

Its something Rlyeh wrote ages ago called Emulatronia - you supplied it with conversion tables, and it compared those to its own binary and re-wrote the software accordingly (or something). Don't know if it ever got released, but it probably wouldn't exactly run fast on a GP32. Still, I know its something that has (once) been done before. Which is nice


In the mean time, good luck on doing a decent GB/C emu since there isn't exactly one atm. There's sufficicent, but not great - and of course, it only works for ~half of us. A new one will be good for this copmmunity and hopefully mean less incomprehensible threads about why oh why a GBC emu just keeps resetting the GP32...

GBA.. Yes i want it... BUT.. i feel that this may lead to massive piracy and too many little gits causing a bad name for the GP32 scene...

I dont think it will be technically possible ... to play the big roms, but hey, i prefer the old SNES games.. Bring on DKC... I still play it on my SNES..!

just how many people cant use gbc emulator it works great for me are the numbers near half????? how depressing for some people :/

Yeah, its something like that... might be somewhat less, but there's a substantial number of active members - which means prolly a few more people who never say anything on top.

Works fine for me too... strange how it doesn't for some...
