What I'm talking about here is, are GBA games all handled using the ARM7 chip in the console, even former SNES SuperFX games such as Yoshi's Island, and if so, does this make games like this easier (in the long run) to emulate on GBA? The chip was contained in the games on SNES if I remember correctly.
do all gba games use ARM7? cause yoshis island runs slower on the gba version than the snes version on windows.
Hmm. I'll check now.Zitat:
Zitat von Strangler
GBA's processor and GPU are much faster than SNES's processor and GPU, so it's very easy to run games like Yoshi's island on the GBA without any need for expansion chips.
The games code is just re-written, re-optimized, and re-compiled using 10+ years of technological advancements. All games use the GBA's onboard processors.
However, that doesn't mean it'll be easier to emulate, simply because SNES emulation is old, and mature, and GBA emulation still has heafty system requirements because of how much more powerful the GBA is and how much newer it is(less time spent developing GBA emulators).
