  • PocketSNES Released - Loopy's SNES emulator for Gameboy Advance has been released: PocketSNES! :)

    From the readme:

    Hell has frozen over. A SNES emulator for the GBA is born.

    Please understand this is a WORK IN PROGRESS. That means lots of things are still broken, buggy, or just plain don't work. A lot of SNES functionality has not been emulated yet. Many (in fact, almost ALL)commercial games are still unplayable or look like crap.

    You have been warned.

  • GBA Emulates SNES - They said it was impossible. They were wrong. PocketSNES, coming eventually, from none other than Loopy, the genius behind PocketNES. It will reportedly run at "playable" speeds, albeit without sound, and there's even a video floating around if you look hard enough. SNES emulated on a 17Mhz GBA... Amazing. - prophet
