Homebrew Will GBA emulators ever fully work?

[doctorgoat]

When I think of 'acceptable' emulation, I think in terms of framerate, controls and rendering. Cheating, save editing, filters, these are extras. To say that a method for playing a game is unacceptable because you can't cheat is rediculous in my opinion. VC injection is by far the best method for playing gba roms on 3ds, and will be for a long time. If you really need to cheat in order to enjoy these games, maybe you should look into ram editing vc games with spider/skater.

Edit, also, if I'm not mistaken, some gba roms were hacked to include a custom intro that was essentially a trainer. Perhaps injecting these instead of a clean rom.

doing simple boring ram editing is possible with skater/spider/ntr, doing actual fun stuff with cheat stuff is significantly different.

Framerate is important, rendering is important, savestates are extremely important. I'd rather have fast forward than savestates but not by a wide margin.

Filters are ugly and bad.

Dude, boring ram editing? lol. Ram editing is far more expansive then save data. If youre skills are limited to simple hexediting, then save data is the way to go. But you can alter any in game functions with ram editing. Not just simple values stored in a save game.

Take oldschool gta for example. With a save you can change the type and color of a car stored in the garage. With ram editing you can change the speed, make it fly, make it invincible, make it drive up walls, drive on water, etc.

Okay. Let me rephrase that.

Boring poking at RAM.

http://doc.kodewerx.org/hacking_gba.html#artypes This is what you can do with the GBA AR code types, rather than slowly dumping/rechecking Spider/skater/NTR offsets and poking.

NDS exists. Sudokuhax. The only problem is that it intentionally corrupts the decryption keys. They did that to prevent piracy.

A lot of good that did to prevent piracy from being so commonplace....
