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 ![](images/smilies/smile.gif)
EDIT: sometimes I have to be a grammar nazi on myself ![](images/smilies/shiftleft.gif)
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. ![](images/smilies/tongue.gif)
(For example, you could just use a light/heavy or medium/heavy setup for SF2.) |

The flash cards all have X amount of memory for the roms and Y amount for battery saves, I think. ![](images/smilies/tongue.gif)
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. ![](images/smilies/tongue.gif)
SMW and Simcity is the two games that runs fine, that's the only games out of my ROM collection that work to... ![](images/smilies/shiftright.gif) |

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. |
