Gameboy/Gameboy Advance emulation on DC

Post by Veggita2099 »

I was just wondering if anyone has heard anything about a GameBoy Advance emulator being worked on for DC. I know they have perfect running ones for the PC now, I would guess it would be possible to port to the Dreamcast wouldn't it?

For GB/GBC there's Boob!Boy.
it's currently 90/100% speed, no sound or save.

For GBA, theres a topic on http://www.consolevision.com in the dreamcast forum about a person who is making/porting a GBA emu to the DC.

Personally I, and others, disagree with the gba emulator for dc. I dunno, maybe we're just old and prefer to play handheld games on handheld systems, or maybe we just live by a set of morals.

P.S. the "i just want it to run gba demos" line isn't that believable
honestly, i couldn't care less about you or anyone else

As we don't yet have a perfect SNES emulator, I doubt there will be a perfect GBA emulator- the two systems are almost exactly alike, the GBA being slightly more superior graphics wise and the SNES slightly more superior soundwise.
