Check Emulatronias news. Seems a Colecovision emulator is in the works for the GBA, and there are 4 screenshots to prove it! Imagine...a Colecovision portable...awesome!

PCEAdvance, as you guessed, is a TG16/PCEngine emulator for your GBA!

I have a dumb question. How do you play an emulator on a GBA? Do you need special hardware to burn onto a cartridge? I would love to get my hands on something like this.

It's done through flash memory carts for the GBA, although Nintendo is trying to shut down pretty much everyone who is making them.

Like Charlie said...which is the best way to play these. Of course you can use them in a GBA emulator for the PC, but using an emulator to emulate something else is pretty pointless...at least in this instance.

I don't have high hopes for this. Most of the CV emulators I've tried and that others rave about were poorly done. Very inaccurate and very low compatibility. I assume the people who rave about them have never seen or played any of these games on actual CV hardware. That these are relased as-is makes me wonder if the people who programmed them have ever played a CV either. The CV emulator for DC is junk. I don't get what's so hard about emulating the CV correctly. The CV is based on off the shelf parts that are well documented.

I'll have to disagree with the DC port. I don't think it's bad at all. I even got Ms. Space Fury to run on it. As for others, well, Mess and Meka do a pretty nice job at emulating the CV.

Well, maybe they've released a new rev. of the DC port since I played it. The version I played would load most any game but the colors and especially the sound was way wrong. Yeah, MESS and Meka are good but the rest are shit. Virtual Colecovision, Colem, CULT etc. are junk when I've tried them.
