Are there any emulators that work with GBA?

Well it depends on your definition of 'work' ;) If you mean whether there's an engine out there that would load the ROM, show you the graphics and plays the sound... yes...
Morphgear would be what you're looking for. Although we're really using the term 'work' loosely
Cuz what you're getting is basically a pretty slide show!
The author of morphgear says he's working on an optimized version for the XScale, which will be released in a while... but heck, definitions like 'while' are all subjective! So I'm not holding my breath here.. in the mean time, GBC ROMs look good on the AX ;)
I looked at the specs of GBA:
- 32-Bit ARM with embedded memory
- 32 Kbyte cache + 96 Kbyte VRAM (in CPU), 256 Kbyte WRAM (external of CPU)
In terms of proc power and cache, I think our Ax can handle it pretty well... its just the grafx stuff that we might not be able to handle. I really hope the optimization would at least make the games playable tho... I don't mind sacrificing some sound/ or a few dropped frames.
