    Default rom conversion

    well i've waited long enough for them to do something about how slow those gba emulators are, and i found a few sights that convert emulators i even found a sight that converts snes to gba. but i can't find one that converts gba to snes.

    the reason for that is that snes seems to run alot better than gba emu.

    anyone know of any links or something?

    It isn't possible... They are different hardware. Plus, gPSP is really good if you ask me

    I think he is referring to emulators.... but why would you use an Emulator to emulate an emulator to emulate a game? No that isnt a typo.

    And actually the SNES couldnt possibly emulate GBA games.. so your just speaking crazy talk.

    lol thanks "captain awsome" thats all gba is though, it's a more compact version of snes, it's just that they made more better games on gba, and you will find that you can get doom on gba and snes, but the snes version is bigger in size. i know my consoles.

    oafan: i can't find the working bios for that so i guess i will never know

    yes it is possible to convert roms! i'll will dig up the link for the snes to gba one.

    if you did get gpsp to work though, i would like to be enlightened.

    infact, i think this could be quiete useful little tool, i feel pleased with myself


    p.s captain awsome, this is coming from the guy that said there would never be homebrew on later firmware. i think you will find that almost anything is possible. thats what keeps me going!

    a very interesting site, but he hosts the converted versions of the games.

    You're wrong that the snes is a compact gba. it isn't. it was however designed to have similar graphcial capabilities.

    As for the converter, there isn't anything like that on the psp.

    The gba and the snes have totally different hardware. the gba is certainly not a mini snes.

    I dont know what the hell the thing you have is, but i do know you cant convert software coded for a certain type of hardware on anything other than that type of compatible hardware or via some type of software emulating the hardware.

    OT: did you know that the GBA micro has a different processor than yoru standard gba or the SP? me neither

    I didn't have ANY problem with gpsp, actually it was the first piece of homebrew I installed on my 2.80 PSP with the new eloader...
    But I still haven't found a GOOD Gameboy (Color) Emulator that works on 2.80 (Okay, Spiceboy works, but it is just not that good I imagined, as even gba runs at full speed, so why won't gb(c))

    the snes and gba are related similar to the DS and the 64, basically they have similar graphical styles and some of the same games, thats about it, the gba has many snes port's purely because software houses see it as a quick buck from older games that are easily ported (NOT emulated) on a more current system.
    if you want proof just look at all the recent classic compilations,most of the time they are quite lacklustre, there are the odd exceptions to the rule, but not many.

    On another note, gpsp runs most gba games great, but does require a gba bios, which can be very elusive, try google.hope this helps.

    i never said that snes and gba uses the same hardware! i only said that gba is not noticeably better than snes.

    if there are any mods about you can lock this.
