"Monster House" - some graphical glitches (mostly in text), and a few problems with the sound, but the speed is seemingly perfect (except for an extended bit of initial loading). It's very much playable.

"Advance Wars" - sound very corrupted, but speed and graphics are pretty much perfect, even if the poor sound gives the impression that it's a little bit of a trudge.

"Sonic Advance" - perfect, bar a little (and I stress "little") problem with sound.

"The Sims" - (Japanese Release) - absolutely fine - just a little sound corruption, and if your Japanese is good, all the better!

"Broken Sword - The Shadow of the Templars" - sound a little poor, but the game itself runs very well. Probably better to use ScummVM (if you have the original copy of the PC version). Wonderful regardless.

"Grand Theft Auto Advance" - European Version crashes when attempting to load, with a straight Blue Screen of Death. U.S.A. Version crashes also, but with the GBA (bios) white screen then the B.S.O.D. Shame.

"Driv3r" / "Driver 3" - runs well, but you have to go straight through the menu screen without trying to pick other options or else it crashes. Tested it for ten or so minutes. A frameskip of "one" is perhaps needed to get it right".

If you want any more I can do my best.
