Gameboy Advance Emulator

I mean legal.

there already is a gameboy/gbc emulator available... look for "goboy"

GameBoy advance,i dont think that the 104 MHZ arm that the 3650 has is powerfull enough.

Like Tatuagem,get GoBoy from www.wildpalm.co.uk

but Tony Hawk Skateboarding is sooo coool with Advanced.

But Quake3 is so cool on my Dual Athlon MP 1800 with 1GB ram and Radeon 9700. 😉

Q3 sucks. Doom on 3650 rulez.... =)

There is a GBA emulator called Boycott Advance, and if I am not mistaken somebody has already begun a java port of it (.jar file). Try searching google for it. When I get home from work I may be able to post a link to it, although it may be too heavy for the 3650 to run.

so let me get this straight.... u jus said there might already be GBA emulator for the 3650?

Yes,there is,for PC and some other platforms,but not for the 3650 😊

What everyone forgets is that the GBA is just a miniturised SNES, hence all the SNES re-releases on it. BTW it's legal (in the UK at least) to have ROMs of the games you OWN, as you are allowed to make a backup copy. If you do not own the game then to have the ROM is illegal.

As for power, the 3650 should have enough power to rival the device, but there is the downside that it'll require a lot of low level coding to get the speed out of the device, not just a simple port of Boycott.

Exactly. It would most likely take somebody writing the app specifically for the Series 60 in order to get the best performance out of it as Java is not necessarily known for its speed. I did download the Java port of it the other day and transferred it over via bluetooth. However, when I tried to open the .jar file it said that the file was corrupted so no, the java port of BA does not presently work on a Nokia 3650 as far as I can tell.

If anybody out there feels like taking it upon themselves to code up a GBA emulator for the Series 60 you would have our everlasting gratitude! 😃

Pal, you're mistaken, GBA is 32bits and is almost as like a PSX!!! I don't think it can run on a 3650.

Hi,
as far as I can recall from an old lesson in systems, a factor of 1:10 is required for emulation of a device.

So, a PIC CPU running at 140 MhZ could emulate another PIC running at 14MhZ totally in software. However, if the CPU's have different architectures, things look different - some CPU's can do more than one thing per cycle...
