To emu the SNES perfectly I think we need a better GBA cart then the one that is out now. It would be the same size as regular gb carts but has extra chiset for emu of Snes games.

Sorry to revive this old one, but I kinda got lost in my search for the best SNES emulator for a M3 Perfect Lite to use with my GBA-SP.
Anyone know or can point me in the right direction? ^_^
(also found http://gbatemp.net/t...lot2-emulators/, but I seem to miss a few SNES emus there)/

I wouldn't really recommend GBA mode SNES emulation (Unless I'm missing the point)

Regardless, bumping an 8 year old thread isn't exactly the best ide-
I could play SNES games (not 100% speed, but 80% or even 90%) on an old PC:
480 SX2 - 50MHz 8 MB Ram with 200 MB disk space...

it's less powerful than GBA...

The answer is that there will never be a decent speed SNES emulator for the GBA, by a mathematical fact. The GBA's ARM CPU is not super-scalar like desktop CPUs and does not contain an L cache for memory. Not to mention the GBA CPU has to wait on slow memory access a lot.

Trying to emulate the audio (with its own cpu), video, and the main cpu, along with cartridge based co-processors is mathematically too much for the GBA's 16 MHZ CPU. Stop trying to beat a dead horse by asking for more speed hacks. There's a reason it was abandoned.

Nobody asked for sound, and as long as you're fine with playing at 80-90% speed, the games are enjoyable to play. Don't be so pessimistic.

Another World, there really isn't much that isn't already at http://www.pockethea...opic.php?t=3366

Just know that you can pretty much just rename it to snezzi.dat for Snezziboy, although there are a few particular games that require Snezziboy-specific hacks, and those are located at http://www.pockethea...itle=Snezzi_dat

I personally prefer Snezziboy since you can go into the options and change the background settings on the fly, whereas with SNES Advance you're relying on someone having found decent graphics settings and having put them in the snesadvance.dat file for pre-patching.
