Just wondering if there is a decent emulator for GBA that anyone can recommend, or if its even possible?

A few hits on google show private projects from people that claim to do it, but id rather check here before downloading from somewhere I don't trust. Most of the search just brings up info on emulation of both SNES and GBA but running for other systems which I do not want, I specifically want this to be for my GBA. I know this will probably be the best place to ask for a definitive answer either way.


My goal would be to play a few games I never got the chance to play on my snes on my Gameboy Micro (Chrono Trigger, Secret Of Mana maybe one or two other games that did not get ported over).

Any help would be great.

Thanks

It's too underpowered, though many SNES games were ported to the GBA anyways...

I'm pretty sure that if the 3ds can't run snes games perfectly the GBA certainly won't be able to

Barring stuff like https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2011...-3ghz-quest-to-build-a-perfect-snes-emulator/ and even accounting for the 3ds being a bit crap I am not sure how Nintendo et al manage to hose up SNES emulation to the extent they have.

@ OP I should say there are good PCE/TG16 emulators for the GBA. If your favourite 16 bit game did not get ported to the GBA in some fashion (and still be worth playing if it did) then do check to see if a PCE version exists.

Although,Some SNES games are ported like Link to the Past and Donkey Kong Country series(after the 2000 port),just try it. Hardware differences are just the evidence that GBA isn't a Pocket SNES. But if you want full SNES with squashed resolution, Pick the perfect emulator for it. Don't rely on scammers on YouTube with a billion ad.fly appears on your browser.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
