I've downloaded the Gba emulater and it works just as good is the normal version of it. The emulators act as programs on your computer to run all you're favourite games. There will be a emulator for almost every console. I've downloaded Visual boy advance to play all you're GBA GAMES'S on, Psx for ps1 games and Dolphin for Game Cube games. They all work as well is the orginal console. Go to www.emulatorzone.com to find emulators. I know www.simplyroms.com is good for gba games. Try searching for other roms by putting in Playstation roms for example.

Good luck.

Tricky topic,

whilst I do use a number of emulators Wii VC included, there's something about playing a game on its original hardware that an emulator can't replicate. Maybe it's down to the joypads or maybe it's due to tiny inperceptable (to me probably not to Papercut) glitches in emulation that taint the experience a little.

Having said all of that I really don't like emulating hardware and games that are still commercially available, because, well for me it just feels morally wrong.

What do you think of Vba as an emulator? This emulator comes with a Game Shark.

I'm in no position to take some sort of 'moral' high ground as I have in the past played with GBA emulators (with mixed results). I'm sure now the GBA emulators are fantastic and I guess if you're really really disciplined and only use it as a try before you buy tool then I suppose it might just might be ok in my bizarre and illogical world.

The game shark thing is interesting, because I've never really seen the point in these tools. Why would you pay good money for a game and then strip out any challenge by cheating. It doesn't make any sense. That argument falls apart though if you haven't paid for the game at all! I can't imagine myself ever using one even on emulated roms probably because I'd feel like I'd cheated myself.
