Homebrew coder darkchen3389 has released a GBA emulator for the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi running on the iPlayer flashcart. iPlayer is a media player card for the Nintendo DS, which is designed with a high-performance decoder chip inside, allowing hardware decoding, will be able to play the main format of videos directly without converting.

Developer's note:

A lot of people consider whether iPlayer could run a GBA emulator on DS. It is well know that running a GBA emulator on DS which is hard to be imaged before iPlayer release. Before iPlayer release people wish DS CPU is powerful enough to do that, but the CPU is not powerful enough to simulate GBA. Of course, Nintendo official have its solution, it is really not difficult to run GBA game on DS for official itself, but so far, it does not release any games fee paying downloading service yet, what is promised formerly. Further more, even though Nintendo official release GBA games downloading service, there will not be much too functions, such as screen shot, realtime save, frame skip, cheat and so on, what is included on common console emulators. PC emulator player should know these functions well.

Version 1.o feature list:

Video & Audio

Graphic size: Original size
Game fast forward: default is off. The frame skip level will be set into 9 when you turn on it, then you can play games with the fastest speed
Frame skip type: default is auto, you can set it into Manual, then you can set the frame skip level
Frame skip level: the higher level the faster game speed
Sound switch: switch on/off the sound

i think this is a great reason to buy the cart,not only is it the first gba emulator on the ds/dsi that doesnt require a slot 2 it also shows that the iplayer is THE most powerful cart in term of horse power,the thing has more strength than a psp,that just proves that the hombrew on the iplayer will be some of the best for the ds/dsi.

No it doesn't. You couldn't be more wrong if you tried

# LOL — fearlubu 2009-09-20 01:32

# ughh noobz — deadlyangel91792 2009-09-20 02:23

read it in full and make sure to understand (its darkchens blog)

http://darkchen.blog.com/2009/07/08/it-s-possible-or-not-gba-emulator-running-on-iplayer/

now then as he says in order to emulate the gba you need at least 20 times its cpu usage 16.78MHz hence the psp is able to emulate it decently at 333mhz and the iplayer in beta1 key word 1 is able to emulate most games just as good.

no im not saying the psp is weak im just saying that the iplayer is equal or greater to the psp in cpu speed i repeat CPU,of course like he said this is in theory either way im done here peace ladies

# Fucking Noob... — CoolPrizes 2011-02-10 02:34

A Card =/= PSP...

# noob — wolfheadbanger 2012-02-22 12:52

i can play snes and gba on the psp fuckin idiot only 3 games have more fire power than the psp and they are not the ds or ps2 cause i have the 2. something about games for you first learn about then

# Hey — CandieC 2009-09-20 09:44

well actually when it comes to emulating the gba on the dsi not to much actually needs to be emulated , the arm9 processors can handle the gba instructions , the dsi basically has the gba hardware on the board its just missing the cart slot for the gba carts, this is very ingenious what this coder has done and i have been enjoying using his emulator just about every day now, GREAT JOB!!
