I hear there is a genesis emulator for gba also. Im not sure how accurate the emulation is. But I know genesis is a bit weaker than snes. |

That doesn't do him much good if he wants to play hacks made from the SNES version though.  Plus, SMA2 hacking info is rather sparse. |

Well you could always just hack the GBA version of SMW. |

Back in the day when I was learning about emulation one type of emulation caught my eye, dynamic recompilation. I've been wondering if it would be possible to have a real time debugger "convert" whole portions of 65816 opcodes to the ARM native assembly. Something to think about, but probably a pipe dream.
But the sheer thought of a program to do SNES -> GBA rom conversion is pretty silly when you think about it. |

The problem is the GBA hardware thought, the GBA is too slow for emulating the SNES actually. But they do a few tricks to make it possible, such as skipping sound support...
Althought the DS probably have the power to emulate a SNES correctly but the DS is very well unknown.
And this is the only one around, so far. Thought I could see myself using it for certain games where sounds aren't needed. Such as Simcity. 
I could as well mention PocketNES. That one is working much better than the SNES emulator, try that one if you like old NES games...  |

Aw that thing is rubbish! It's really slow, there's no sound, and it won't vertically scroll when i play a SMW hack.
Is there nothing better around? |

Yes, it can only play certain ROMs, and there's a list on their board of games people have tested and found to work, which you can get to by clicking this link. I ran Super Mario World through the program before and tried playing it, although now I can't remember what was wrong with it, but there was something. Not really helpful, I know
You'd probably be best off giving the game a try yourself to see if it works, but chances are that if it's not on that list, it probably won't work  |

Well, the GBA doesn't have a screensize capable of displaying the resolution that SNES games run under. |

There's a SNES emulator for the GBA, but last I heard, it's not all that great. |
