GBA EMULATOR

[FrierTuck]

I know the gba is less of a system then the dreamcast, which means it most likely can emulate the gba, proably. More to the point where could i get a gba emulator to run on the dreamcast. One that can play comercial games.

no GBA emu have been released yet, but GPF is working on one

As Darksaviour69 said, GPF has not yet released his GBA emu publicly. Even if he did, it's still rather unlikely that it will play commercial roms anytime soon. It plays a few homebrew games very well, but it's still got a long way to go before it can play commercial roms.

also some commercial game will never work because they are too big (file size vs dc ram 16)

Also comercial roms are warez, so no talk of them, shame on you curt and DS69

well megadrive and snes games are comercial so that would be warez too. If you own the game its not warez, but each country has different laws (i just read last week the copying your CDs to you ipod is technically illegal according to Irish law) but as a general rule here and many other sites will tell you how to get the emus to run the roms, but we will not tell you were to get download roms

In the US its legal to have roms you have the actual cart for, and i have a mighty big gba collection

[FrierTuck]

does anyone have a time frame for GPFs release, there are alot of PD roms i want to play on my DC, also whoever names the orums, you should specify that this is for emuators for dreamcast not dreamcast emulators, and if it does say that then im sorry i cant read and dont pay enough attention

[FrierTuck]

1 more thing, i never said anything about illegal commercial roms, and warez

I am not able to tell you when it will be released but i can tell you but its been something very hard to emulate. The reasons as given by Dark Saviour and i have heard there is a few commercial roms that load but the emu can only load 8 meg roms anything bigger the Dreamcast has trouble loading it.

Thats just for now until there is more progress but i don think that is something he is working on cause of the Neo Geo Pocket emulator which from the last time i was doing beta came along alot better then the old ganksoft version and has sound.

Anyways to say much more on the GBA emu i dont think there is going to be one and if so it will just play homebrew ones at a decent speed and possibly play 8 meg commercials.
