There's a GBA emulator on the Nintendo SP. Works flawlessly.

how is it an emulator if a gameboy advance sp is hardware. If your gonna burn someone, try to get your facts straight.

This. 100% this.
Imagine playing your Switch like a giant GBA, GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!

Just play gba games on your 3DS. I feel like the switch should have like Gamecube, Wii, and WiiU emulators. At least that's what I'd put on mine if available.

I want a gba emulator so bad on my 5.0.2 switch

Dear @NANASHI89

I would like to thank you and show my deepest respect for you using an actual question mark in the thread title. This is very considerate of you and I hope it will set a good example for those that don't know about the importance of question marks in questions.

Regarding your concern there's not a lot of options right now. Eventually this will change, but for now we need to hope for RetroArch to be made compatible with 5.0.2 or Lakka getting the final treatment. Haven't tried it yet, but it seems like a viable option.

But why play it on the 3DS, when you can play it on the Switch?

Bigger screens = Bigger fun

Lol, not happening

 

[SimonMKWii]

Lol, not happening

Except it's already happened.

 

[Billy Acuña]

Except it's already happened.

For Gamecube, yeah, on Linux and at very poor framerate, for Wii and the U not happening.

 

[Thetoto]

If there is Gamecube, there is Wii.
A lot of Wii games are very light.

 

[Axido]

If there is Gamecube, there is Wii.

I couldn't say that your statement is wrong in general, but Wii games are mostly more demanding than GC games and thus will potentially run slower. Therefore you shouldn't consider playing proper Wii games on the Switch unless GC games run fine at least.

Gamecube and Wii emulation, when optimised, as shown on NVIDIA Shield TV, would run perfectly at 1080p/60fps with 4xMSAA.
Wii U can be ported natively so no emulation is needed.
Fun fact, even 3DS and Wii can be ported natively using Nintendo's SDK tools.
It supports Citra > Cafe and Revolution > Cafe conversion.

Damn that really made me think.

Bigger screens = Bigger fun

Not really, you see, the switch has 720p resolution, gba games will looks bad even with filters, but on 3DS's screen which is 240p it's perfect.

Of course i say this if you really serious saying bigger screen = bigger fun, maybe you are joking, who knows.
You can always play Pokemon emerald on PC and hook it to 80 inch TV, but will it be fun?

I can't take my 80 inch tv on the go.
