    Sucks that nobody has ever made a gba emulator for the ds. I know its possible, if they can make sega, snes, and gb emulators for it then surely it is possible to make a gba emulator.

    it is not possible. GBA is more powerful than any of those and the DS does not have sufficient power to emulate it.

    The original DS had enough power to play GBA games. I'll agree that the i series might not have, but the originals and L series had the hardware to. No one was interested enough in finding out how to access it in DS mode though.

    Edit - Specs, at least the ones that I think are important to show my point.

    GBA
    CPU:
    16.8 MHz 32-bit ARM7TDMI with embedded memory
    Memory:
    32 kilobyte + 96 kilobyte VRAM (internal to the CPU), 256 kilobyte WRAM (outside the CPU).

    DS
    CPUs: Two ARM processors
    32 bit ARM946E-S main CPU; 67 MHz clock speed.
    32 bit ARM7TDMI coprocessor; 33 MHz clock speed.
    RAM: 4 MB of mobile RAM

    As you can see, the DS's hardware was superior to the GBA. Saying that the DS lacks the power to emulate GBA games is like saying that the GBA lacks the power to emulate GBC games.

    The issue is that in the original and L series is that we never could figure out how to access the hardware to play GBA games in DS mode. As for the DSTwo, it bypasses this issue by mainly using oncard hardware for emulation, instead of the DS's hardware.

    But still, the main issue is the original and L series themselves. We didn't need a emulator, since we could just use a GBA flashcard. I'm willing to bet that if the orginal series lacked the ability to play GBA games, then we would have had a emulator for it since that would have been the only option.

    I know that the presence of GB/C emulators for the GBA does weaken this arguement, but at that time it was proably more of a "Lets experiment"decision then anything, although GB was justifiable since at the GBA's release, the odd's of finding GB gamepacks would have been next to 0.

    Yes.

    Here is a GBA emulator for the DS.

    http://gbatemp.net/topic/281715-gba-emulator-for-dsi-dsi-entry/

    It's still buggy and compatability is low but its worth watching.

    The GBA hardware is not physically connected to the DS hardware, therefore it is impossible to access the GBA hardware from in DS mode.

    The fact that the DS has more powerful hardware than the GBA does NOT automatically make it powerful enough to emulate GBA. Emulation incurs significant overheads, the host system must be powerful enough to account for these overheads as well as providing hardware functionally equivalent to the system being emulated, the DS is not powerful enough to do that.

    The GBA does not emulate GB/GBC. It has a native GB/GBC mode that runs them with no emulation involved. This requires much less hardware horsepower than emulation.

    won't run on a DS, only on a DSi (and in theory a 3ds, once homebrew becomes available)

    Anyone still continuing this?
    it would be awesome if anyone has been patching the bugs or adding features in their spare time
    i was really keen for this to happen
    but poor communication i guess and lack of motivation
    and now it looks very dead
