I understand what you are saying about Nintendo making the classic roms available for a price (legally) but if you are playing them on the PSP illegally already then you can play them just as well on the GBA or DS using a flashcart without worrying about which system you use it on, etc. There is PocketNES (NES) SMSAdvance (Sega Master System) along with a Turbo Graphics emulator.

Here is also Super Nes emulator for the GBA with a list of "Most Playable/Fully Playable" games here http://www.snesadvance.org/ and a NES Advance Controller & Adapter for the GBA as well.

Did anyone see the stuff they are pulling off on the DS now? Someone has Hexen running on it http://www.telefragged.com/thefatal/index.php?cont ent=inc_si_ds.htm

You say PocketNES works great, but can I fit 900 games on the EZCart?

I don't think 900 NES games were ever commercially released in North America or in Europe. But if you get a 1 Gbit (128 MB) or larger flash card, or you get a SuperCard (adapter for CompactFlash or SD memory), then yes you can fit hundreds of NES ROMs and/or GBA multiboot games (such as Tetanus On Drugs) on one cart.

Is there a GBA SNES emulator? If so, how do I use the X and Y buttons?

SNES Advance has been ported with sound to the Nintendo DS. Details are in parallel threads at pocketheaven.com and gbadev.org.

Also, I can't say I've ever seen any lumines clones.

There's Luminesweeper for GBA, and that page lists four other Lumines clones (but only Kaikai's is any good).

Maybe you're one of those people that sees a game that involves blocks and thinks every one is tetris.

Can you name them all?

I guess you're forgetting that nintendo is re-releasing all of their old games in the NES classics series

Well at least the GBA SP and Nintendo DS can emulate Nintendo's classic systems. The same can't be said of the PSP to the PS1.

there's actually a gameboy emulator for the GBA, which means you can play all the Gameboy games on the DS after all.

I know what emulator you're talking about. Half the games display "This game works only with Game Boy Color" and freeze.

and its only a matter of time before someone comes out with a fully functional SNES and Genesis emulator for this thing.

Has the Xbox been cracked optically yet? From what I've read about the encryption on the DS cart bus, it may prove tougher to crack the DS through its cart slot than it was to crack the Xbox, and tethered exploits such as that of PSO are much less useful on a handheld because even if someone manages to crack DS download play, you'd have to carry a Wi-Fi laptop around to boot the thing, and by the time you're doing that you're already playing Gens and ZSNES on that laptop. Owners of Nintendo DS systems will probably have to live with the limitations of SNES Advance (limited compatibility, no sound) for the next couple years.

We already have SNES emulation on the GBA

Flash carts are great, I own a 256Mbit one myself. If you do plan on buying one, I would recommend Jandaman's. That's where I bought mine. And I would suggest getting a 256 or bigger, some games wont fit on a 128Mbit card.

After you have your cart, check out these two projects. An NES emulator on the GBA, and an SNES emulator on the GBA.

Also PogoShell is great, it let's you store text and pictures that can be viewed on your GBA, as well as organize your ROMs and game saves.

There already IS a snes emulator that will run on it...

SNES Advance was originally called PocketSNES (PocketNES is by the same author, loopy).
But after that ripoff site appeared he changed the name to SNES Advance and got the www.snesadvance.org domain.

Also, I forgot to warn you, the first one ("far") is in french. Ech.
