Is there a Mame build for the Game Boy Advance?

You've got quite a few posts to be asking a question like that... :-X

MAME(tm) emulates Arcade games.
Look around for GB emulators if you want to play GB on your PC.

<EDIT>...
Wow... I've been a @$$ lately...
Sorry guys... I've got a bug up my butt or something...
I'll work on that.

and you've got a ton of posts, yet can't comprehend simple questions ;)  j/k with ya.

I know that there are NES and SNES emus for the GBA, but I haven't heard of a MAME port.  To be fair though, I've never even thought of looking.  Give google a try and see if anything turns up.
first off your and idiot

Man I love the internet, haha.

I thought there was some kind of GBAMAME thingy that took a Mame rom and did a tinycompile of it, spitting out a single GBA rom for that game. Was I smoking crack again?

I've never heard of such a thing, but that would be pretty darn cool.

Wow,

I forgot I posted this.  It must have dropped off before I got a chance to look at the response.

Better get that bug removed.  Also maybe YOU should reread posts a couple of times before responding.  I am looking for a port of MAME that will run on the GBA.  I know what MAME is.

To everyone else thanks for the info.

The GameBoy Advance is a 16MHz ARM7 processor, with 32KB (KiloBytes) of main memory.

I would hesitently say there is no MAME on GBA because no-one is brave enough to try to make it work at a sensible speed.  Just because it has a modern 32bit CPU and plays games doesn't necessarily mean it will make a good target for MAME.
