Re: INFO ABOUT GBA EMULATION ON THE DSThis should be stickied. Is it just me or in the last few months have the number of people asking if there's a GBA emulator for the DS increased? More and more people (I use the term people very loosely) seem to be asking the same question.

Oh, I like you.I also like this thread. I second the whole sticky thing, but probably in Technical Help.

Re: INFO ABOUT GBA EMULATION ON THE DSSomeone will probably put the info in the Common Issues topic one day, or something. I'd rather not put something like this as it's own sticky. If we did that then we'd have to put up stickies about playing N64 games on the DS.But there is a sticky topic in the Nintendo trading station I believe about all the available emulators for the DS.

Re: INFO ABOUT GBA EMULATION ON THE DSproblem is, no-one reads stickies.

Yeah, I don't know why though, I mean it says "PLEASE READ!!" Its a different color and they're at the top.But, If you look at most common topics(example: Anti-Piracy on MLBIS) these days the replies are just links to stickys.

Re: INFO ABOUT GBA EMULATION ON THE DSI think I'll link this in my signature...So I can just copy and paste the link later on.

That's stupid... But if you place tons of links to this topic, they will automatically look in this, because other users put the same link in other posts.

Thank you for that update!

Well done again Mike,another good guide.

Thanks.

True, but at least we can just post a link to this.I think people do read, but we don't ear from them.Mike...sorry to be a pain but you need to fix a few things.

Slot-2 Flash Cards:

That's one of thiose "let me google that for you" and won't help newbs!...And put something about the ezy 3 in one flash cart, it's the easiest suggestion to give.

Flashcards != flashcarts. Flashcards are literally cards, typically with a question written on one side and an answer on the other, used to assist learning and memorisation.

Wow I totally missed that XDAnother flaw spotted!

In other words this needs a clean up, the "flash cards" one and prehaps a mention of the ezy 3 in one helps.You could class it as one of the older stand alone gba carts...but it makes things easier, since people can obtain the ezy 3 in one easier.

why do GBA games need more ram? i mean nintendo DS games are much better and take up less ram? shouldn't it be the other way around?

They don't need more RAM to run normally on a DS, they just need to be run from the GBA slot. If you want to emulate it, then you need extra stuff, that's how the iPlayer emulator works.

It's more or less speed, apparently they boot slower in ds mode.
