well I have ported a GBA emulator to the Dreamcast(based on Visual Boy Advance). I will hopefully be releasing it soon. I just have to get some stuff cleaned up and hopefully get sound working, and speed playable and figuring out the license GPL etc.
I have played a couple of Public domain roms and 1 commercial rom (Super Mario World ~ 4meg).
I tried an 8 meg rom but it ran out of memory, don't know if that is fixable yet.

Wow the whole scene will be watching this development :)
Homebrew GBA on the Dreamcast :)
any chance of a screenshot :)
I don't have anyway to take one, I don't know where my digital camera is. I could send you the binary of what I got so far and you could take some if you wanted.

Yes my camera sucks.
cool stuff!
This is insane, they say it couldn't be done, I thought they were telling the truth but
they were wrong dead wrong, here fellow DC gamers, the ultimate of emulation we DC gamers
never thought possible, feature the GBA! now I am truly convinced that if the skills of
coders are unbelieveable any type of emulation is possible on DC (except amiga,lol:} }
I never thought it would happen, you made most DC dreamers dream come true. GPF! Keep up the
good work man, from the screen Ian took, really impressive bro, don't work to hard and keep
up the outstanding look of this GBA emulation that we never thought possible.

You and Cless are the most confused people I've ever seen. Do you guys listen? No one said it was impossible, anything is possible.
Good stuff, Troy. I've always been a big proponent of GBA emulation on the DC but I'm not going to knock it, either. I look forward to downloading this emu & the tons of homebrew stuff available for it. This will be good news for the GBA scene, also. Someone might want to drop a bug in there ear or link this thread to a topic on the HAM site ;) Tubooboo will be impressed.
Some new pics

Ecco on the sega smash pack gba version
Tetris world was almost playable.
Eccco Was faster about 10 fps
excellent news, can't wait to see some developments on this.
Yeah great stuff, when i saw this topic i thought, oh no not another i wish there was a gba emu type post....
Anyway looking forward to it Â*;D
Looks like you've pushed your bandwidth to much ian :P
Wraggster, could you enable a function in this forum to put the screens here? This is very interesting and those pics aren't available now (bandwidth problem) Â*???
I couldn't see anything... Â*:'(
Thank you in advance
Put them up some were else. Any were i can send them i will upload them for some one to put them up.
Any thing some one wants tested while i get it setup?
first neogeo CD, then GBA..... so whos working on the xbox emu for the DC, come on hands up! ;D
seriously this is great! as Will said about the GBA hombrew, they have some great stuff
I mentioned this at DCemulation.com, I have a DVD Video recorder and I'd be willing to record a full DVD quality video of it running, if you like ;D
No Thanks

Heres one of metriod fusion

Also snesadvance works on it and pocketnes. Very very slowly infact snes emu only the title screens load up im not waiting loading then 5 mins for it lol Might load but it's slow past the point of knowing what slow is running a gba emu then a snes emu from agba emu lol
try some homebrew mate , i need fresh reports :)
just so you all know the GBA homebrew scene is massive :)
this is the best news for fans of homebrew :)
I will It's 4 27 am Bit sleepy Got to burn it to a cd each time then send the bin. Also working on neogeo cd at the same time..
Be a lot more to report today. Started on tests at the witching hour lol
damn its late there, dont know how you aussies stay up so late :P
clessy finally banned lol. ian's starting to keep the same hours as me =P
this year seems to be the year of the emulator lol. First SFC, then NeoCD and now this.
hows your neopocket emu quzar?
any news, screens updates
ah, i have been updated news on Dcemulation but i forgot about here :P
i have gotten it to compile so far, but not to run properly. it shows up a white square that is the right size, and it lets me go double size too but so far the only thing i cant do is load a rom. some glitch in my setup i think... as soon as i can get rom loading (which is like 4 lines of code!) then it will most likely work. until then ...
Heh, what Clessy did this time? :o
I wonder what speed GB/GBC games will run at too :)
also zipped roms, would zipped roms cause a loss of performance.
nah zipped roms wouldnt make any difference to performance.
cool stuff :)
I just upgraded my 1and1 package (primarily to add someone :-* ) but I don't forsee any problems via bandwith when this is released ;)
we will support you as official mirror if ya need it will :)
Cool :) Â*Btw, Storm-Studios might be down for a few hours.
EDIT: Nevermind. Â*I'm going to have to get something resolved with 1and1. Â*Instead of upgrading my current package and evidently ordered a new package. Â*Hopefully this can be resolved in a couple of days.
Wooooooooooow this is so impresive, but this emulator will funtion at full speed in the future or at decent speed?
Anyway this is fantastic ;D
Report out of the 10 metafox told me about
