good gba emulators

[GWing_02]

Yeah, GBA Morphgear runs great on my X3 Adv set at Auto.

I got a steady 20-30 fps on most games.

when u play less-layer-rendering games (for example, metroid zero uses a lot of layers in animation) it runs quite smooth.

one thing i would advice anyone that plays graphic games, use an overclocking app and change your LMN settings from default 27/2x/2.0 to 27/4x/1.0 (still 400 Mhz, if you notice) you will notice a huge performance boost for games. even better if your device is capable of going 32/4x/1.0 (mine goes to 32/4x/1.5 - total comes to 708Mhz!) and all games runs sooo smooth.

I went to Morphgear.com, hit "Downloads" at the top of the screen, and then I think I downloaded the Windows CE and Pocket PC download. Now I have Morphgear version 2.1.0.0. What version is this? Is it the demo? What is the newest version?

I know that you can't share ROMs on this site, and I respect that, but would it be okay for someone to PM me or email me with a GBA ROM website? If not, that's okay, I am just wondering.

That is the lastest version. You have downloaded the 5 min trial version. It will alow you to play games for 5 mins, then it will stop. You need to purchase it in order to contiune using it.

Arent GB emulators illegal now?
http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-P...S=PN/6,672,963
If it doesnt work its patent #6,672,963 at http://patft.uspto.gov/netahtml/srchnum.htm

Emulators are as legal as roms now?!

[GWing_02]

Yes, it is now illegal to create or update GB(A) emulators.

However... the ones that already existed before this patent was filed are still legal

[awdark]

Oh really? wow better backup my archived emus lol

yeah i do play SC, but not in about a year. I forgot the name of the actual unit but i do know right off the bat that its a protaus (cant spell). Anyway pocket nester is still silent so i dont know about that new emulator yet

Actually, its protoss, and its a Dark Archon.


I love SC, but WC3 is so much hardcore!

[gsteinb88]

Dark archons are red...that one is just a regular archon. When i used to play (havent in a WHILE) that was what i favored. But not to take this thread off topic, i think that it is sad that emulators are illegal now. I always like trying out games like that before buying them (it is a great way). I think it would be really cool if they would legally release the first level of a game as a rom for emulators or something so you could try it out on your own before buying it. I hate buying games i know nothing about other than what people have said, i love trying them, and if none of my friends have it...

ok, so i'm looking at PDArcade for the Genesis Emulator, now when i download it (can't right now, dad not home and won't give me his admin password) will it give me all those games, like Sonic and stuff? this is the PicoDrive one. and as for the GBA one.... uhh.... if i were to download that, what do i get? any games, what do i click to download, and umm will it be in Japanese?

[daenar14]

ok, now i'm downloading the other Genesis one. i got it on PDA, but can't find that GAPI library, and i don't have any games. HELP!

errrrrr, that patent is surely invalid. There have been emulators of hardware video game consoles since before November 2000 - prior art renders the patent invalid.

Whether any of the emulator makers have the balls / cash to take on nintendo when they try and enforce the patent is another matter, but I reckon it'd be an open and shut case....

i guess the only possible angle is that there were not emulators on PDAs and other "low performance" machines before then because they weren't powerful enough - that's very tenuous though, because you could argue that a PDA is exactly the same capability of a laptop of 10 years ago that COULD run the emulators available then...

[daenar14]

ok, found some games, but i can't find GAPI library, can someone link that to me?

thx in advance

[kazuni]

should be built in for PPC2002 and WM2003, or if not, in the installer...
