I don't think that GameGenie will run on Rockbox.

Not in rockboy.  You can probably google and figure out how to apply a game genie code to a rom directly though.

What about NES games that have been released for GBA? I know rockboy does not supprt GBA games , but I want to play Super Mario Bros, and Zelda for the NES that got re-released for the GBA. If they were converted to GBC , then they would be playable...I am not sure on how to do any of this though...

Why not figure out a way to convert PS3 and Xbox 360 games first?  Its about as likely to work.

Yes, but you asked about converting NES or GBA games to GBC. That has nothing to do with processing power.

Hmm...true...I was just wondering if it could work ( It would be so awsome =P )...How did they get DOOM to rockbox anyways..? If they could do that, then I could also play Zelda and Super Mario Bro's too.

Doom is a computer program with source code available. Zelda and Mario are not.

There are some people who did that though. They made it a flash game or something , and I played it online. Would that count as having source code available?

What they did was create something that looks like Zelda (or Mario) from scratch. That's all. They didn't convert it, they made something new.

You're welcome to attempt this, if you really feel like it. But remember, if you're not willing to do the work and you consider it a dream of yours, it's unlikely that people who want it less will do it for you.

Everyone starts out not knowing how to program. All you have to do is start learning, there's a million tutorials on the internet.
