The GBA emulates the Nes, master system and gameboy. It plays a hell of alot of SNES games as ports, and a few Genesis. It now emulates the Commodore 64. It plays Divx movies, and handles E-books. It plays MP3's. It has a wireless link up. It has homebrew games.

The GBA seems to want to be a GP32.
 
The GBA doesn't have a chatboard for it, and AFIAK the highest storage space is 512 Megabits (64 Megabytes)
 
yeah, right, gimme a link, too.

i know there was an C64 emu (SPLAM!) but tha has been abadoned snd never got released.
 
No one is mentioning the fact that the gba has hardware rendering. That is the reason why it is more powerful in some regards. Sure the gp 32 has a faster processor, it has to just to keep up. The gp32 is a better system because of the screen and inexpensive development, thats all. With its crumby specs the gba is far superior in design. Screenwise game boy is not better because it didnt have to be. This is where capitolism fails, see, they didnt have to make game boy advance great, they just had to make it good enough to sell. Thats the key to all of this. The other important thing to realize is that game park will go bankrupt, I assure you. Thats why I went on and bought a system while I could.
 
ha ha .. people should know what they are talking about before they post..

Activision Anthology on GBA emulates a bunch of classic Atari 2600 games. That's not Commodore 64, that's pretty different..

I really like the ease of interface of the GP32 better, using Smartcards instead of Flashcards. Flashcards take ages to burn, you have to rewrite it from scratch each time (as far as I can tell..) plus it's more expensive for far less storage.
If I want to stick a game onto my GP32 real quick, it's just as easy as drag and drop pretty much.. can't beat that (not yet!)

most importantly, all game system emulation is just handled better on GP32 than on GBA. Ok, maybe pocketNes might play a little better than Little John, but GBA has to squish it and it doesn't look as good - Little John might have lower compatibility too, but you don't hear people complain about it ever, anyway.
 
AFAIK, AFAIK means "As far as I know" ;)

Anyways, a GBASP + 1GB flashlinker would prolly cost more than a GP32FLU + SMC... and with most emus, you have to embedd (or whatever its called) the ROM into it, and you have to erase the whole flashlinker before you can copy files.

Click to expand...
My bad. But your point about knowing what people are talking about before they post applies to you....

How on Earth can you call around half the games on that collection "classic" :p
