Meh, the Doom port to GBA sucked. Worse than the port to SNES. DSDoom wins; though a GP2X version might benifit due to the system being more powerful.

SL64: GBA SP, GBM, and GBA mode on the DS are all the same as the original capability-wise.

It's hardly fair to compare a stock GBA to a SNES with extra chips added to the cart. By that logic I could go buy some new top of the line video card, wire it into a GBA cart, and claim GBA has better graphics than Xbox 360.

But in the sound-departement, quality wise, the SPC700 of the SNES is way better than the GBA, only drawback is, that it does not really support direct streaming from the cart. (Maybe to some extend, I never saw it widely used (Tales of Phantasia maybe).


GBA has the potential to sound a lot better than the SNES, as it has no real restrictions for sample size and amount of channels. It just didn't work that way in practice as there wouldn't be much resources left for the rest of the game. As for streaming, I know there are homebrew MP3 players for it. I'm not a very technical person so I don't know if that's streaming per se, but it's more or less the same thing.

As for the Star Fox discussion, the GBA beats the SNES by a long shot in that department as well. Just check out V-Rally, it has fully textured polygons at a very good framerate. It looks nearly as good as an early 32-bit era game. I believe there was nearly a port of Quake as well, I saw a tech demo a few years back.
Oh, and I also saw a demo of a full 3D GTA-style game from the same guys. If someone can dig up the site, I'd be grateful.

Huh, I always thought the GBA couldn't use polygons so I thought a GBA port of Star Fox wouldn't be possible. So the GBA is capable of using 3D polygons? From the hardware itself or, I doubt, something inside the games like the FX chips?

Hardware itself. The GBA doesn't really have those type of add-on chips, I believe.

GBA could use cartridge add-ons, but it's really only been used for solar sensors, tilt sensors, and rumble packs :/

It's better off that way. First and foremost the game prices would shoot way up, and second I think extension chips take away the novelty of truly utilizing the hardware to its fullest.

Wait... that proves something... The SNES can and has supported 32 bit games, and I don't think GBA has. (You could prove me wrong though)
It really depends on what king of graphics you are talking about, like how many colors are possible, or abilities of the system's graphics. It all depends.

It used the SA-1.
