Emulation Super NES emulator for GBA?

[Garp]

My God. Hell has just frozen over. Loopy, you are god.

I was wondering why it was so cold out today. lol

i sitll think snes emulation on gba is impossible!*goes back to play castlevania IV on pocketsnes*

 

[el_venga]

i think this is the best snes emulator available, because the first version has great speed on some games and few bugs only, the majority doesnt run, but it is a great emu overall just how it is. breath of fire, castlevania iv, aladdin, and more games run almost perfect.

Here are several games I've tried. All were played with VBA 1.7 and default settings in PocketSNES rom builder.

Add ROMs Screen (Windows)

PocketSNES menu (GBA)

Games:


Alien Vs. Predator

Freezes at start screen


Batman Returns

Several graphical glitches. A bit slow but playable


Animaniacs

I can't play this game in SuperNES nor SuperFamicom :?


Donkey Kong Country
Emulator freezes


Crono Trigger
Game Freezes, emulator keep running


Mortal Kombat
Game Freezes, emulator keep running


Dragon Ball Z Super Butoden
Emulator Freezes


Final Fantasy II

Start, but then you see garbled screen


Killer Instinct
Game Freezes, emulator keep running


Pilotwings

Mayor graphical glitches makes game unplayable. Game starts, but after a while, controls stop responding


Kirby Superstar
Game Freezes, emulator keep running


Super Metroid
Game Freezes, emulator keep running


Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in time
Game Freezes, emulator keep running

Zelda III: A Link To the Past

Starts fine. Freezes when starting to play

Yay! 100 post! I'm growing up

"This game pak is not designed for your super famicom or super nes" means that the game you're trying isn't US.. the emulator only seems to support PAL games if you fill in the PAL [ ] box. =D

Try act raiser 2 (E) & (U) and you'll realize that E version doesn't work, but U does..

Umm, where have you been for the last two pages of this topic?

The emulator is OUT. You can try it yourself although not much is working and only a few games work...

Get it here: http://home.utah.edu/~u0422123/

Still very very cool!

Ok, since you just posted this, and I've posted it earlier in this topic.. then I feel I might aswell start a new topic for it!

 

[YoshiCrazy]

WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET'S FINALLY HAVE REAL FUN WITH OUR GBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YYYYYYIIIIIIIHHHHHHAAAAAAAA!!!!
I won't never be able to thank you enough, loopy and other guys!!! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE WORK YOU HAVE DONE!!!!!!!!!
This is probably the best thing ever done on the GBA scene, and your work will shut for good the mouth of lamers who said it was impossible!!! Great Work!!!

Just a question: what rom can you suggest me to try your emulator?

This is the ONLY snes emu for gba

 

[Inu268]

^i was just going to say that

and yoshicrazy,there is no need to post in both topics the SAME msg.....next time change one or two words

 

[YoshiCrazy]

Ah, OK i'll remember and sorry... But I'M SO HAPPY !!!! FINALLY, A WORKING SNES EMU FOR GBA!!! Can you imagine that?? I still can't believe it, it's too wonderful to be true!!!!

 

[belmont]

I tested some games too,except the ones mentioned.
Tin Tin in Tibet
Tin Tin 2
Super Metroid
Terranigma
froze...

I was wondering if flashing and play them on the actual console would do the trick.
Has anyone tried it?

The good thing is that Super Castlevania is almost higly playable!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bildodo]

I do beleive that that the makers of the snes emulator for the GP32 won a zodiac. I only hope that many people would want loopy to have a zodiac. I know I do.

Well not only loopy, but flubba, and reezy, and whoever else is awesome that I didnt mention.
Especially since the pocketnes is better than the Nesem. It is sad that I have a zodiac, and I play more nintendo games on the gba than on the zodiac. Yeah the screen is bigger, but it cant play many games without graphical glitches, and its slow on metroid when there is more than 4-5 enemies on the screen. By the way Nesem you have to PAY FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing seems logical these days

 

[Darkforce]

Eh... TonyCool and others wouldn't it be more logical to post only working games as opposed to ones that don't work...like it's obvious stuff like Pilot Wings won't run anyway; Pocket SNES can't mode 7 yet. But yeah posting working games would be cool...now I know I gotta get Gradius 3 and Super Castlevania.

As I said a page of so ago I'd recommend people try out:

Macross
Background static, occasional sprite error. Great speed.

Earthworm Jim
Plays slightly too fast, heh.

Breath Of Fire
Few graphic hickups, text cut off screen (Change offset to upto +50 to make it viewable).

I think the images speak for themselves so I won't post anymore...if any new discoveries come up though we ought to post them.

p.s What's up with the 2 blue bits at the top of my screen? Other people don't have them in their screens...

 

[Rykin]

Man, I can't wait till I can go home and try out this emulator. I got a huge list of SNES games I could test.
Does anyone know if Maximum Carnage works?

I'm aware the emulator has a long way to go, but it's made some very good starting steps.
It's going to be exciting to see how this emulator progresses.

The blue dots are an FPS meter ... I decided later to take them out.
