GBA Emu

Firstly, i know gba emulators for the psp have been suggested before and that coders used to (or could still be) working on a GBA emulator. But perhaps someone should try an emulator other than VBA? Something like Boycott Advance or Dream GBA. Let me know what you think:D

GBA Emulator for PSP isn't half bad, it runs most games decently.

it runs most guns like crap. but i think that emulators work best on the psp if you build them from the ground up.

Yeah i know the current emulator is ok, it just seems everyone is dead set on porting VBA, it is the best one on pc but probably the hardest to code

Couldn't find source to either of them.

Yeah but theres an even simpler one (i don't know if that has scource ou there) NO$GBA

No$GBA is not open source. It is primary a developers tool for debugging purposes that you have to pay (a lot) of money for and no, it isn't simple in the slightest.

Calm down from...? The response was purely factual.

The only other GBA emu i found that could maybe be ported (i'm not a coder so i'm not sure..) because the source code is available is: CowBite.

Again, the emulator was built as a debugging tool, not for speed. It will be slower then VBA.

man.. if only someone made a machine that played gba games.. on the go. anywhere... with a decent battery life... fortunately a device like this dosnt exist so I guess we will have to keep using our current gba machines...

Can't even find a precompiled version of the emulator to try. Its an old dead project.

Looked through some of the code and it looks like it uses DirectDraw or DirectX. Rewrite that code and yes it should be possible to port. Will it be worth it, probably not. A GBA emulator for the PSP ideally needs to be rewritten from scratch to et any speed out.

meh, true, it has to be by scractch of gfx code or replace , gba emulator pc uses DirectDraw, Direct3D, OpenGL and yes even some uses DirectX
