GBA on DSi

News via http://gbatemp.net/t284712-gba-on-dsi

Remember all the talk that GBA files would never work on the DSi? Ichichfly has released an "emulator" that can run GBA Homebrew under 2MB on the DSi. The project is being developed for the Homebrew Bounty and a file is already available for download. While the project may stay a "proof of concept" it does indeed run GBA Homebrew (slowly) on the DSi.

This is an gba emulator for DS(i) it can run gba homebrew up to 2 MB very slow. No gui it just starts the rom

how to use:

put the gba homebrew as gba.gba on the SD and start the nds
