Gamecube emulator for the GBA!!!

Encouraged by darkchen's success, I decided I should try out an idea that has been on my mind for years now. Namely, a way to play Gamecube games on my GBA. Sure, some of you may say it's impossible, that the GBA simply isn't powerful enough to do it, and you might even be right. But I've never let the mere fact that something is entirely impossible stop me. And after I saw how darkchen did it, the solution struck me. Like GBA on DSi, it's entirely possible, all you need is a little extra hardware.

Namely... a GBA TV tuner, a Gamecube, RCA cables, modchip (if you don't want to buy games), and several car batteries to power the whole thing (you can use a power adapter, at the expense of portability, but that defeats the whole point).

Et voilà:





The picture is a bit grainy but you see the general idea. That's Super Mario Sunshine, played on a GBA. In your face everyone who was saying you couldn't play Gamecube on the GBA.


Now, some of you may say that it's not really an emulator, or that it's not being run on a GBA, the GBA only serves as a screen, but I could point out that darkchen's emulator doesn't really run on the DSi, it runs on the iPlayer, which is not a flashcard, it's a friggin' external computer. Which is roughly the equivalent of stuffing a PSP up DSi's butt, hardware wise, and the DSi only serves as a screen (and gamepad). But that doesn't stop anyone from yelling how "all the naysayers were wrong."


As my next project, I'll try running the PS3 on my GBA, in much the same fashion. Hell, the sky's the limit. :yaysp:

[quote name='nIxx' post='2266525' date='Sep 21 2009, 03:59 AM']Hmm so you just use the GBA as a screen !? (with the Tuner card)
because the GBA Emu for DS is a pure software solution (well it runs from a hardware) but what you´ve done is a totally different thing[/quote]
You sir, are missing the point.

Sure I can. All you need is the new iVeho flashcard, that looks suspiciously like a PS3 Slim, GBA TV tuner and a three foot stack of laptop batteries, all wrapped in duct tape. Price to be announced at a later date. ;)

My is brain garbage huh then you as a person must be a mistake of nature genetic misfire!!!!!
 
The title of the thread is 100% misleading. The GBA emulates nothing, as you said. Your counter point, which is basically "but the other guy did it" is irrelevant.

Misfire..............I'm going to completely ignore that this is teh internet where almost everything should be taken as a joke...plus I'd just played the world ends with you so you probably know where that came from.

Edit: Fixed your post (you had to many explanation points to be a smart person so I changed it.)
 
I remember that pic from prior to GCN launch. Supposedly, GCN was to have better GBA connectivity to the extent of it being supplemental screen, but I guess they failed to properly implement it.

...you wouldn't happen to have/know where those IGN 2003/2004 beta Mario Kart pics went by any chance, would you?? You know, the ones where Mario and his kart looked almost RL. I'm only wondering as that first post pic was on IGN at the time as well.
