QUOTE said:Now, I'm sure you've been told many many times that gba emulation on the nds is impossible well this is entirely untrue.
It is however impossible to software emulate the gba on nds well at any descent frame rate anyway.
It is possible to create a hypervisor using the mpu that translates the writes to the graphics and sound hardware of the gba to the nds hardware this however is hard to do which is why no one has done it well except for someone who will not under no circumstances release it because he does not condone piracy.
Using the hypervisor approach you can get full speed, maybe even faster, not to mention you could potentially add things such as save states etc but first someone would need to create a hypervisor and release it to the public.
I will not be creating a hypervisor but i thought i'd let others know that running GBA games from slot1 is not entirely impossible its just no one has bothered to code something that the nds hardware does natively and release it to the public.
I thought it was the other way around ? I guess the Nintendo DS Browser would be faster if it wasn't because of the Slot-2 RAM.legendofphil said:Slot 1 also isn't as fast as Slot 2, some GBA games would probably suffer slowdown.

Anyway, it is not practically possible to use GBA files from the Slot-1 in it's current state, and it is unlikely that this will happen because of affordable Slot-2 solution existing.
Same, except I don't need the patch because the CycloDS supports it natively. TAKE THAT, you R4 using people!piepants said:Is the lack of GBA support on slot 1 cards that big a deal anyway? I bought an ezflash 3-in-1 card for AU$20 that lets me run GBA games, and it supports the Opera browser with a patch to boot.
