GBA on Rockboy?

<< < (2/2)

Llorean:
PDAs usually have a processor at least 3 times the base speed of the iPod, if not a good deal more, and more capable at that speed than an iPod would be if simply scaled up. Saying "It's quite fast" doesn't mean that they've made it possible to do the impossible. These are quite slow devices, and emulation is quite CPU intensive.

Not to be rude, but I am more than aware of this fact. Indeed, Rockboy slows down when I drop the frame skip rate on my c250, and audio is never as good as it should be (comparing to the original Gameboy here).

Even my Palm stutters on Gameboy games, showing roughly the same symptoms. Genesis ROMs get roughly 25 FPS (out of 60) at a frameskip rate of 3 (the highest I tolerate), and without sound emulated.

Heck, my PC has trouble with GBA games, but then again, it's 8 years old....

Llorean:
If you honestly believe the "It's too slow to play GBA games" why did you even bother to link to yet another GBA emulator, especially one that absolutely cannot be used?

Strife89:
My Sansa is far less powerful than other MP3 players on the market, which, by the way, are certain to become more powerful (in every aspect) in the future.

The GBA link was provided for the curious (mainly those who own Palms).  ;)

GodEater:
Well basically this is now thoroughly offtopic for Rockbox - so I'm locking this thread.
