Hacking Will we ever see GBA roms on Slot1 solutions?

[tackle]

People who asking for GBA support on slot-1 are the most retarded fags in the world, period. Get over it!

Lol! Well excuse me, it was merely a question I threw out there out of curiosity, I shall now forget about the whole idea.

Or maybe get me one of those 3in1 thingies and play gba roms on the ds anyway.
Maybe try to catch every frickin' pokemon available or something equally time consuming

I have a G6 Slot-2 with a dead battery, my saves don't work anymore.
I would like a solution (maybe patching the gba rom on slot-2 ?) to read/save sram on Slot-1 but play on Slot-2.
Only the saved sram file on slot-1, not the game.

But you said the GBA mode is hardware and cannot access slot-1, too bad this will never happen

Maybe a DS homebrew in slot-2 could read from Slot-1 the sram file and copy it to slot-2 sram or file (game.0), then boot in GBA mode.
But the problem will be while exiting GBA game, the sram will have to be copied back to slot-1, but in GBA mode it can't go back to DS mode without power off, and loosing my saves.

Maybe it will be quicker to buy a new working GBA card ^^;

Well, to put it simple. NDS works in two modes - NDS and GBA.

NDS mode has access to all NDS hardware, including both slots. That's why you can play NDS games from slot-2.

GBA mode has access to only slot-2, no extra buttons, no touch screen.

These are hardware limitations which CAN NOT be changed. Unless some modchip is made, which is unlikely. Then again, there would be a big problem with RAM and slot-1 transfer speeds.

The NDS does not actually have access to everything, for instance the GBA's sound... thingie (it's early, can't remember what it's called).

yeh lol, my F2A still works fine, easier to just use that

though I have to use the gamecube to put roms on it

WE should put in massive letters "GBA ROMS WILL NEVER WORK ON A SLOT ONE AND STOP ASKING ABOUT N64 EMULATION". Should solve our problems

 

[Veho]

Didn't we have this post s week ago? And then a week before that? And then two in the previous week?

And every time we come to the same conclusion: yes, it's theoretically possible, but the 3-in-1 is much less hassle and only costs $18.

yeah but what about N64 emulation, do you think it's possible?

 

[TLSpartan]

BAN HIM. Only kidding your cool crafton48

 

[iamwhoiam]

Someone should fucking sticky this.

Are you serious?

Or that other card that no one likes... uhh, the uhh.. DS Link!

The DSLink isn't actually a bad card. Well, not VERY bad. Not NeoFlash bad.

[Sinkhead]

The DS Link can play GBA games with the support of their own slot 2 companion, the GBA Link

I didn't know that. I shall have to do some research...

Yeah, there's GBA Link, but the set is too pricey for such an unpopular flashcart.

Dude, not everyone knows that. So be a bit more polite towards people. Just give a civil answer instead
of your useless flame.

 

[Xenophobe]

It is pricey and really hard to find. I'm trying to locate one, but it is almost impossible without knowing Chinese really well. Everyone is so touchy about how crappy my Chinese is and won't sell it to me...

I have a GBALink!

Well, access to one anyway. It's a 256mbit "Zip" thingy, you flash it using a GBA and a GBA to USB link cable type dealy. Don't have a DSLink though.

More to the point, to those saying that the ARM9 isn't powerful enough to emulate the ARM7: IIRC this has nothing to do with running GBA from slot-1, if there was enough RAM on the NDS or slot-1 was fast enough it would probably be a simple matter of running the rom on the GBA hardware and accounting for any "irregularities" using the DS's hardware. Granted, I don't have an incredibly indepth understanding of the DS's hardware, but AFAIK nor do the rest of you.

But I digress. I'm pretty sure it would be mathematically impossible to run GBA from slot-1 (seeing as a possible solution is compressing the rom to under ~4MB and then decompressing it in real time as to make the playing seamless) but someone who could break the laws of physics would be able to do it.
