has anyone gotten fire pro 2 for gba to work with the gba emu?

**link** · 09-16-2005, 06:30 AM

no, nothing works with the gba emulator.
they gave up on that ages ago.

**Ztype** · 09-16-2005, 07:31 AM

Technically it'll load up on VBA, but it won't be in any playable state. Hopefully someone else is working on a GBA emulator.

**Enclave** · 09-17-2005, 01:25 AM

Even if nobody currently is somebody will eventually, just a matter of time.

**mark_micallef** · 09-17-2005, 01:57 AM

I never got the hang of how to work that gba emulaotr. Can someone explain? :wall:

Trust us, it's definitly not worth it... That thing goes slower than a three-legged turtle...

more like one legged turtle.

I agree it is so slow that it is hardly playable. Soon hopefully they will make it better and we can maybe even play it faster than normal. The ROM max size is 16mb and lots of decent GBA games are more.

It's only a matter of time before someone starts working on it. The only problem is the complexity of emulating the GBA for the psp, as opposed to even the SNES. There aren't even that many GBA emulators on pc that run full speed. If people really start tapping the power of the psp's hardware, I don't doubt it will happen.

**sirjimjom** · 09-27-2005, 01:51 AM

visual boy advance is the bomb for emulating gba. it's near flawless.. I have loaded all my games on my p4 2.4ghz, 1gig 2100, 9600xt... no probs at all.

I believe gba will come. in time. I tried vbapsp with fire emblem and it was mad mad mad mad mad slow. But it was great to SEE it at least. It'll come... in time.

**spectacular** · 09-27-2005, 09:51 AM

Visualboy advance works nice on an xbox...everything i threw at it was played quite nicely.

Very good analogy.
Is it just me or does it seem completely inexcusable that VBA runs so slowly when neo geo cd runs perfectly?

What about the new one, V.0.4 I think it's called? Has anyone tried that yet?

its still crap. where the version before was a no legged turtle, this one is a one legged turtle. I could actually play advance wars if i had enough patience to wait for my cursor to move.

**ipfreely** · 09-27-2005, 12:03 PM

Oh, okay. It's weird though, because someone tried it and said that it ran good. He actually made a list of all the roms that ran decently. ****, this whole thing has me confused.

**streak** · 09-27-2005, 04:30 PM

I played mario kart at full speed perfectly well a little choppy here and there but it was playable but yeah a decent one should come out by the end of the worl... I mean year.

ktan91 · 09-27-2005, 04:41 PM

all i can say is just wait 4 a newer one to come out... why don't you just get a GBA?

quite honestly the micro isnt looking half bad right now. the whole reason i dont carry a gameboy any more is because i dont wanna look like a total nerd with two full pockets, but having a micro around my neck would be pimp.

Someone correct me if im wrong but i believe the reason why the neogeo cd works better than vba is because with a cd image, the psp doesnt need to load everything into memory and it could just stream right off. The gba on the other hand, loads a lot into memory.

Ah, alright. Makes sense.
Well if theres no real hope of getting a gba emu to run at full speed, I may buy a gba micro.
*Checks prices*
Nevermind.

**Nitrius** · 09-29-2005, 06:46 AM

Anyone know is there is any more progress on the VBA emu? or if there is any other GBA Emu's for PSP in the making now?
