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

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

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

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?

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...

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.

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.

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.
