Just a thought... .GBA export? (AND OR SNES? :D)

[Hblade]

Who else agrees that it would be awesome if we can make our own GameBoy Advanced Roms (.gba) to be played (or burnt to a cartrige) on VisualBoyAdvanced or any other GBA emulator?

I for one, would think it would be awesome! I would for sure start making BLAST for the GBA lol

Makslane, please do this!

If you need the GBA Bios, take this one:

gbabios.rar

Thats the binary file for the GameBoy Advanced!

I think it would be so freaking cool to be able to export to GBA or heck, even SNES!

SNES has a .smc file. Other known types for SNES games are a .fig file.

WOuld be cool, but whatever happened to the DS idea?

[Hblade]

DS would be cool too but I can't run the 3D inside of that for some reason.

I can make PS1 games look like PS2 but can't run 3D in DS Emulators xD

How would you burn your games to a GameBoy cartridge(if we ever got this export)
Just wondering

[Hblade]

You have to buy special tools that no one in the world knows where to buy them... Only stupid business' know for some unknown reason.

[TSO]

Rom hacks!
is it illegal if you create it? o.0

[Hblade]

Anybody can make Homebrew games ^^

SNES programming:

But yeah, anyone can make homebrew games it's marketing / burning it thats the hard thing, since they don't use CD's xD

But you can always use an emulator to play them, since it's a homebrew game it's not illigal

[jimmynewguy]

Question, if you would play it in emulators (unless of course you found those unknown tools to burn it..) you would run it on your computer. Isn't that just harder than opening a .exe? Don't mean to be pessimistic

[Hblade]

lol yes but it would be more original. Plus others can burn it if they'd like

[NERDnotGEEK]

i still have all my stuff back from my buring the pokemon mods for my gba id be happy to burn peoples games and send them to them if they paid for the postage and Cartridges if this idea got off the ground, there would be somthing slightly satisfying playing your own game on a gba

[Hblade]

yeah xD

[gamemakerdude]

anybody heard anything like this being accomplished or attempted since this post was last discussed?

[skydereign]

No one on the project is working on this. Currently we are trying to get 1.5 released as soon as possible.

[Hblade]

I'm sort of excited for 1.5 and sort of not. The new features will be incredibly useful! But that means more torment for me lol.

[skydereign]

Well I've been adding editor improvements as well, so physics isn't the only thing to look forward to. And one of the reasons we haven't released it yet is we are trying to get it as familiar to 1.4 as we can, so there shouldn't be too much trouble learning the new stuff.
