CAN ANYONE MAKE A GBA EMULATOR 4 DS?
IS IT NOT POSSIBLE?
GBA HAS A _____ 16.8 MHz 32-bit ARM7TDMI with embedded memory PROCESSOR
&
DS HAS ____ Two ARM processors ARM946E-S main CPU; 67 MHz clock speed. ARM7TDMI coprocessor; 33 MHz clock speed.

BOTH THE PROCESSORS OF DS HAVE HIGHER CLOCK FREQUENCY THAN THE GBA ONE.
STILL WHY IS IT NOT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A GBA EMULATOR FOR DS?
DS HAS MORE BETTER SPECIFICATION THAN GBA
SO......CAN ANYONE PLEASE TRY TO MAKE A GBA EMULATOR PLEASE????
 
Question Answer = No.
If you just read around you would
have found out it is impossible.
I'll report this to Xuphor to be closed.
 
This has been answered so many times its had its own sticky for about 3 years. Data transfer from slot-1 isn't fast enough. Plus you don't just need a more powerful machine to emulate another system, you need a much more powerful system. You need a card with a built in emulator and extra CPU ike a SCDS2 or a slot-2 card in your GBA slot, if your DS model has one.
 
I WILL USE ALL CAPS SO THAT PEOPLE WILL READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

To emulate a different (or even similar) machine, a system needs to be much, much better than the one it is emulating. Take for example, the SNES, which is less powerful than the GBA and yet has not been properly emulated on the NDS. Even the Commodore64, which only has 1mhz processor, has not been emulated properly.
There is no way that the NDS alone can emulate the GBA with any reasonable level of quality. There is an emulator in the works, which needs the extra power of the DSi and it still an not emulate the GBA to any useful degree.

If you want to play GBA backups on your DS without buying a slot-2 cart, which is the only good way to do so, then you must buy a slot-1 cart which has extra hardware, such as the Supercard DSTwo. The DSTwo can run at around 400mhz, but even then, it struggles with some GBA games.

If playing GBA games is so important you could buya GBA and stop complaining about something that has been discussed about 300 times in the past, may you could even read through some of the forum posts about the topic before demanding that the impossible be done.
 
Actually now that I think about it wasn't there a GBA emu made by someone here
which runs homebrew (just)?
