sorry I'm being a noob about this

Yeah, some ROMs, or at least Pokemon emerald, load better when zipped. Although it takes maybe 30 seconds to load up.

tried this out, and i find it much fast than what i remember the last one to be
it has basic speed-up functions and option to turn sound on(very buggy)
keep up the good work, and maybe release source for the dev community to help?
either way, great work, keep it up

GBA was good upon its release with Golden Sun but it slipped VERY quickly. We need a psone emu to run FFVII FFVIII that i'm sure is in VERY HIGH demand. People would probably buy a psp just to bust out Cloud on to the go or watch Squalls development as a character and watch him unleash Lion Heart in the palm of your hands!

You are wrong in every single way....GBA was, and still is, a very good handheld system with tons of great exclusive games....

And we all know the demand for a PSX emu is high, but so is for a GBA emu......and personally I wouldnt wipe my ass with cloud or anything FF related....such a horrible, and extremely overrated, franchise....

So in all of your humble oppinons is this worth putting on my psp?

Not quite yet if you want a full speed full sound GBA emulator.

Personally I wish people would stop dissing and shut the hell up. If you can make a better emu then do it, otherwise just STFU, support the hard workers that actually try, and hope that it improves, which it most certainly won't if you keep bitching.

Nice Work btw!

Although only running at about 50-60% of the GBA's speed (w/o sound), this emulator is *leaps & bounds* faster than VBA .04 and definitely a step in the right direction.

I have to agree with other posters in the past about the complexity of emulating the ARM9 vs the SNES CPU. Most likely, we may never see beyond 75% emulated speed, unless someone masters the PSP on an assembly level. Perhaps if this author got together with the SNES TYL guys who know the PSP GPU speed hacks, then we could be on to something serious..

While there is plethora of great games on the GBA, I still find the SNES vastly superior (just compare Super Mario World between the two). Be happy we have near 100% emulation of the SNES (non-Mode7/DSP ROMs) on the PSP. There are something like 700 SNES games out there, hundreds of gems and great RPGs.

I'll probably just get a GBA Micro and a flashcart eventually, mainly to play Sword of Mana, FF1&2, FF Tactics, G.Sun, Adv Wars 1&2, and the F-Zero's & Metriod's. Hmmm that's quite a few...
