Is there any tool to convert gameboy rom files to SNES rom files. If there is please give me a link.

To my knowledge, no. And due to the complexity of the whole, i don't think anyone would do such a tool.
Why do you wish to convert it, anyway?

Impossible. Don't bother looking. There's no way to do such a thing.

Why play Game Boy color on an snes emu, when you can just download a GBC emu? http://www.emuxhaven.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rolleyes.gif

mainly only to be used for people who have a flash linker... http://www.emuxhaven.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif i for one would like to play legend of mana on my gba....but anyways if brightman sez it cant be done...

So let's see, the GBA wins in the CPU department. The SNES had a weak CPU, based only on clock speed (there are undoubtedly other factors at work) the GBA CPU is nearly 5 times as fast. It also has 50% more VRAM and more than twice as much WRAM. The SNES of course wins in resolution, it is capable of the much higher resolution of 512 X 448, however nearly all SNES games use the lower res. of 256 X 224, only marginallly higher than GBA. Also, GBA
games are developed for the small screen, so it is almost a non issue. The GBA can display twice as many colours on screen at once, so it wins there. Also, GBA games have the potential to be 5 times as big as SNES games, as large as Ocarina of Time.....

The GBA's only downfall is inferior sound hardware. Only two channels compared to eight (plus the GBC's generated sound). This may seem hugely dispointing, but keep in mind that sound can be mixed with software, apparently only using 20 to 30% of the CPU time. This would allow SNES quality sound to be achieved on the GBA. Naturally there would be a performance hit, but the GBA's processor is fast, in genres that really benefit from great sound, speed is not essential, RPG's for instance. Even in other genres, platformers, puzzle games, it won't matter at all. The other advantage the GBA has is that it can pull samples right from the cart,
no need to load them into ram first. The GBA has 8 bit stereo sound capability. Unlike the Game Boy, a good part of the sounds on the GBA are sampled. The SNES has 8 bit sound as
well, but it also has tons and tons of filtering.

OK so to wrap it up - Emulation is SNES on GBA is possible!

check out the link puting the specs side by side..

Okee, I see........ But if the roms are made voor SNES it won't have any use to put them on GBA, cause the GAME is set for SNES so you get the same on GBA. isn't it ?          http://www.emuxhaven.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I think that Snes emulation on Gba is pretty pointless. Besides a few snes greats, most good ones are probably in the process of being ported..
On the other hand Genesis emulation on gba sounds awesome!
Is it possible???

Bah. I totally disagree. Many good games has NOT been ported to gba, and 'sides that, gba does not have enuff buttons to make the most out of snes games.

I'd just say that snes on gba is pointless.

they could always set up combinations of buttons to represent x and y... like b+r1=y?

That would be second to pointless... and it would be bad marketing habit, since te GBA is still pretty new they have no need to make a new system...
