GBA emulator for NDS

This is my first post in ANY forum. Romulation rocks. I wanted to know if there is, or is it being made, an GBA emulator for the NDS so we dont have to buy expansion packs. PLEAASEEEE!!!!!

 

No. It's impossible. You will need a slot-2 device like EZ Flash 3 in 1.

 

Ok, I will say this ONCE, after that, I'll refer people to this topic...


The ds, while more powerful, can't emulate a gba, why?


The games need to be loaded pretty quick to run-and unless someone bothers to do it-it shall never happen...


It's alot of work to get such a thing working-and with the dsi (and it's anti piracy issue) it may not happen...


For all we know, it might be too weak to do a gba (ds-can't do psx...) which sounds absurd, but that is the reality...




For the dsi, someone may crack it, but with the firmware updates, will the homebrew be stable enough-I don't think so...




For now, you have only 4 options...


1.Buy the real deal (gba-gba games, like I do)

2.Get the ezy 3 in 1 flash card (it's a slot 2 card, works as extra ram for web browser, rumble for rommed games) AND works as a bridge for gba games, store them on the slot one card (so far the only one I 100% know that works is the acekard brand, but there are other's) and with this inserted into slot 2, it will do a "pass me' and send it to the gba slot-it wil save and load from the ds slot...


Best feature is you can save 1 gba rom and it's save data, for when you want to use the gba/gcn link up feature in some games...


3.Get a pc emulator-can't get beter than that...except for screen resolution stick to gba size and squint your eyes..


4.Get a psp with a gba emulator-some roms don't work all that well such as banjo or kingdom hearts (on 3-d cutscenes-but can be bypassed via emulator play and then transferring the save) but otherwise it's the closest you can get...



Whew, that hurt-hope that's enough info.

 

It is a nusance but yes, you will have to buy the slot-2 expansion. I have the 3 in 1 and it works like a treat ^^

 

I found it easier to just download the Visual boy program and play gba on my laptop, it also comes with a function that alows you to save at any time, which is useful for an RPG gamer like me.
