GBA SP Emulation
Sprucemoose:
Has anyone bought a flash cart for their GameBoyAdvance (SP) and played games (NES, SNES,ZX80, SMS, etc..) , music, video. Here is a link with some GBA emulators:

I am thinking about doing this, but wanted to get feedback from you guys.

I've used the Flash Advance 128M ready to go Set (Visoly).
NES: PocketNES is great. You can link to a 2nd GBA and it loads the game on their system so you can play 2 player. Plus you can fit 30+ games in 64 mb
You do have to scale the screen to fit.
I haven't tried many other programs. There seems to be a lot of tools to create your own games but I never tried any of them.

Cool, thanks for the insight. I have been reading that they are just now starting to get SNES games working. That would be sweet.
I think I am going to go for a flash cart. Recommendations?
The EZFA looks to be pretty easy and highly rated.
Dave_K.:
I just got a gameboy SP since I was going was traveling a lot last month. And I also looked quickly into the flash cart thing. I read that the EZFA is good and simple, but lacks a lot of functionality the newer FA cards have.
The big issue is, if you want to play real GBA roms, you will have problems in the save game area. Since real GBA carts are always advancing (technically), the way games are saved varies from game to game. So the problem is how to do come up with a common save game feature for roms that work with your flash cart? The latest FA carts have these two small buttons on the cart that are used to help save games somehow (not sure how it works myself)...but this seems to be the latest way to do it (regardless of game). It also helps manage different game saves for different roms on the same cart.
Lastly, some RPG games use a realtime clock in the cart, but I think most flash carts now have this as well.
Let us know what you decided to get and post a review.
Sprucemoose:
Thanks for the info Dave. I'm going to do some more research and I will be sure to update my finding for anyone else that is interested.
