Wouldnt necisarrily be a emulator though because your using the exact GBA hardware though would it?

No, I'm gonna use the source code of VBA.

VBA emulates the ARM7 Processor that the GBA uses....

Funny, I wasn't aware that code was crime. The point is that the MMD can run commercial NDS files with patching, even the ARM7. Thus, from that example, we could make a loader for GBA ARM7 homebrew. It would mean that each homebrew would have to patched and still wouldn't run natively in the MMP, but it'd be better than none at all, right? It would be silly not to learn from example because something is "illegal". Datel will do it in time, or maybe in a later product. We can wait for them, or make our own solution.

Oh, I looked this up for the people too lazy to do it on their own:

ROM

n : (computer science) memory whose contents can be accessed and read but cannot be changed

[syn: read-only memory, ROM, read-only storage, fixed storage]

Hmm, I read nothing in there about "piracy" or "1337 hax". It's a word, people, get used to it. It's almost interchangable with EXE.

Hold on. Why should you do Datel's dirty work? They promised .gba file compatibility. Let's just bombard them with thousands of complaint e-mails. That'll show 'em. >=D

But I want to play GBA emu! Just like everyone else! We can't just wait, they take forever to make things, they can't even get codes to work on wifi!
