My question is "Are there any GBA emulators for the Dreamcast?" I have seen GBC and even SNES emulators, but not GBA emulators. Why is that?
Thanks for your time, Someone |

I guess that nobody has had the inclination to write or port a GBA emulator to the Dreamcast. Even a couple of Playstation emulators exist for the dreamcast, so it's probably possible considering the hardware.

Take for instance the SNES. This is a 16-bit console and the Dreamcast can't even emulate that at 100% full speed, so 32-bit consoles have got no chance. |

Because of hardware limitations this is not possible.
At least that is to say it isn't possible to create a GBA emulator for DC which could run games at a playable speed. It couldnt possibly be even nearly as fast as would be needed. Certainly a GBA emu would be possible, but not one that could run commercial games. The best you could hope for is an emu that could run a few extremely basic PD roms. |

no, DC is completely capable of running GBA games at almost full speed.
