Hardware Request - Port the PokeMini Emulator to GBA

[Levine91]

PokeMini seems to be the best available emulator for the Pokemon Mini handheld and has been ported to many different devices.
I'm not sure how difficult it would be to pull this off, but the source code is public for others to use.
If it comes down to money, it's not much but I would at the very least start a bounty pool with $50 and hope others would join.

Didn't want to necrobump this post, but I was just searching to see if there was a Pokemini port compatible with my ezflash and couldn't quite believe no one has made one yet. If I had any sort of coding skills I'd attempt it myself, but alas...

The best person for the job would probably be @FluBBa - as they were responsible for all the awesome emu's that already work seamlessly on GBA flashcarts - but I'm sure they've already got their work cut out for them maintaining all the other emu's.

I'd love to contribute to a bounty pool, but right now that's not possible for me... maybe in the future.

I might take a look at it if people are interested in it.

hmmm, maybe not for the GBA

System requirements:

No sound:
Pentium III 733 Mhz or better recommended.

With sound:
Pentium IV 1.7 Ghz or better recommended.

That seems like bizarre spec requirements... the 3ds port functions well.

The cpu doesn't seem that heavy, Z80 like but larger address bus. Will probably take a couple of weeks to do the cpu.
(the 3DS has a couple of hundred MHz cpu)

You probably know this, but there is already a PokemonMini emulator for DS, it's really nice, the only problem is that the speed could be improved, I'll leave you the sources just in case

FluBBa to port/create emulator to the GBA. A Pokemini emulator!

Let me roll my money in advance to snot that Pokemini emulator.

Funny enough, i saw a Pokemini flashcart recently. Problem being I need a Pokemini to use that flashcart.

Pokemini are not cheap. lol.

I would suggest hounding local flea markets, second hand shops, Facebook groups, and similar for one. I got mine with 3 games for pretty cheap from someone local that wanted to declutter their attic. I had a search for one open on a local eBay clone and got a ping eventually, beat every single eBay price at the time by a pretty significant margin.
