Game boy advance
Monkeytamer:
I really don't understand why there is such a dire necessity for emulation on a digital audio player. A DAP is designed for music, not to act as a portable computer. Besides, I sincerely doubt the people who often push for these unnecessary plugins actually own the ROMs to the games they appear to be so urgent to play on their audio player. Even given benefit of the doubt, there is a significant misconception about emulation with respect to implementation.
It's not as easy as just coding an emulator; there's issues with stability, speed, and playability, and such a plugin is quite a challenge to maintain. With many known emulators, they have taken as many as several years before fully maturing, and generally operate with significantly more processing power than any audio player could hope to achieve.
Remember guys, you're using a digital audio player, not a handheld video game system ;)

The thing for me with Gameboy and NES is that the systems had a small number of buttons making the games very playable on a DAP, I enjoy being able to play games that I loved as a kid on a handheld. My PSP is kind of bulky to carry around all the time.
