Most SNES games don't use L+R that much, or they have the same effect as another button...  They've ported Link to the Past, SMW, SMW2, and a few others pretty flawlessly... so I think you can make due with the GBA 
EDIT: sometimes I have to be a grammar nazi on myself
the other way to do it requires hacking. e.g supermetroid. for dash change button to pressing the direction twice in quick sucession. ive done it ity isnt tooo hard. |

Um... yeah.  A, B and Y all have unique functions in SMW. X can be used as an extra button for some functions but in reality you only need 3 buttons to play. |

No, Super Mario World uses X, Y, A and B differently. Try it. |

I'm sure you can map the buttons. Might take a while to come up with a proper setup for every game but people make do. 
(For example, you could just use a light/heavy or medium/heavy setup for SF2.) |

i.e. the games I would actually wanna play can't be played |

The flash cards all have X amount of memory for the roms and Y amount for battery saves, I think.
In any case, you shouldn't run out of save space even if you have a bunch of roms on there. |

There was a thread about this somewhere, but I don't remember if it was on this board. Or on the old board.
SMW and Simcity is the two games that runs fine, that's the only games out of my ROM collection that work to... |

Well, I just quickly consulted a compatibility list and some games are marked as extremely playable - including SMW. Although there might be a few minor glitches.
Don't forget that even though the GBA can emulate the SNES, there's still a lot of memory limitations/etc. that the emulator has to deal with. |

Yeh its still very dodgy but a good place to start. I tried my own zelda hack which strangely had no sprites. Alot of the great games like Metroid dont even start. Although im settle playing Smash TV on the move. |

Erm, a lot of us knew this.
SMW itself runs fine apparently but you'd have to test out other hacks to see if they run fine with SNES Advance as well. |
