Gameboy Advance supercards?

[iamme]

does anyone have experience with these? i just got a GBA Micro for $50 from Amazon and i heard about supercards. i know that ROMs are probably taboo here, but what about emulators for old, discontinued systems? first, do they emulate well on the GBA and secondly, are they ok to talk about here?

if not, can someone direct me to a forum/site that has good information?

I have a supercard SD, works pretty well. There's only a few games it truley won't play, but a lot of the time, you just get a ****** rom or something that will convert correctly, but still doesn't play. Supercard.cn is the main site, but it kind of sucks. Just google it for everything else.

do you mean GBA games or emulated games? emulating SNES on my GBA would be so cool

supercard works for nds almost perfectly. ahem.... that's pretty much it, the initial investment is high.

 

[iamme]

any other experiences?

The GBA movie player is great for emulating NES and classic GB games. You can buy one of these for les than $25. Plus you can use it to watch movies.

Supercard doesn't fit all the way inside your Micro. Get a flash card for portability

 

[Albis]

a mini-sd supercard will fit the micro i think b/c the mini sd supercards are normal gba game sizes

 

[iamme]

difference between flashcards and supercards? are flashcards predetermined capacities?

 

[tvbi]

SD supercard still doesn't fit all the way in..I have one. Yes, flashcards are predetermined capacity. Read more here http://www.gameboy-advance.net

very cool, thanks tvbi.

can you give some comments on how you like your flashcard? can you do emulation on it? how is the NES, SNES, etc emulation?

that's a link to the mini-sd supercard that people say fits the micro ... i know it still sticks out of the NDS lite though

 

[tvbi]

check out those "hot links" on the right side of that site. I use PocketNES for NES and almost all roms run fine ..no experience with SNES

my bad..been a long time didnt' know they have mini sd

 

[Albis]

yeah it's pretty new and ppl seem to like it even though it's still too big for the NDS Lite. I think i'll get a mini-sd supercard for my nds lite though. the normal supercard sticks out way too much on the ds lite

 

[iamme]

albis, have you had any experience emulating on the GBA?

so, it's concluded that the mini-SD version seats flush in the GBA Micro?

I run an NES emulator on mine, works great. There's also an SNES emulator that works with a limited number of games, a Gameboy emulator, and a bunch of emulators for more obscure systems. But the NES one is the easiest that I've found.

I'd like to find a SNES emulator for my NDS since it has 6 buttons.

 

[iamme]

cool.

link to the SNES emulator? is the SNES emulator still in development? i.e. is there a chance it might get better?

I guess it's still in development... but I think lacking two buttons will hinder the ability to play many games. It'd be great if someone wrote one for the NDS to take advantage of the faster hardware and extra buttons.

Gameboy
PocketNES

The NES one is great since NES games are only ~100kb.

very cool, thanks for the links.
