GBA runs on a ARM7tdmi RISC chip at 16.78 MHz. How the *heck* are they doing 3d games with *that*?? O.o

Re: VGBA Ported to Maemo
 

It has got huge rotatable sprites, rotatable backgrounds (see Z-mode in SNES) that can be used for pseudo-3d effect and there are up to 4 playfields. It's enough for some 3d stuff.

Does enyone know if and ware you can find a free Super Mario world download that's playible? If so please tell me ware you can find it.:)

To people looking for "ROMs:" Don't ask here. Distributing ROMs or even linking to sites that provide them can get a site into legal trouble, whether or not it's illegal in the country you currently reside in. Thanks.

Sory. I kinda feel a litle stupid for putting the term "Roms" in that post... I did not know roms were illegal in the U.S. well, it's a good thing i haven't downloaded eny of them! I've edited my post so it definitely doesn't include Roms.
Again, i'm very sory. I Just hope people don't hate me for that post..........

That was just a heads up, so no worries. :)

If you want the actual Nintendo gamem i doubt there is a (legal) way to get it for free. I think the best chance to play SMW on the tablet ist still the SNES emulator. It is fast enough, but lacks sound. I tried SMW and SMB for VGBA but it's too slow and it is horribly irritating that you have to cover the character with you thumb while jumping all the time because of the on screen button layout.

There's also a huge slew of homebrew apps and games for the GBA if you google for it...

One of my faves is Lumines ;)

Re: VGBA Ported to Maemo
 

so what can we expect on a beta release? more compatibly plus a bit faster? i hope a lil faster cuz its boring playing pokemon at already a slow pace plus the slow pace of the n800 if u could thatd be awsme =) but also move the a and b button to the side somehow... idk....

Re: VGBA Ported to Maemo
 

I would love a different stylus map as well - or at least the ability to map hard buttons to the different actions - it is really hard to play Mario Kart with the location of A and B. Otherwise it runs great. THANKS
