[matt1freek]

As far as I know, there is no WSC emulator for GBA. It would be good if there were though.

[Lillymon]

Sounds neat, but I'm sceptical about how viable it would be. There's a GBC emu for GBA but I think the WSC has a fair bit more power. And it wouldn't happen any time soon if it did. WSC sound is still way off (even with WSCamp) and sometimes my P3 450 dips below 100% speed...

[brightman]

Well, a P3 450 isn't exactly a fast computer. And WSCamp isn't that fast to begin with. But at least its better than Cygne, which gives me below 100% speed on my PC.

WS->GBA... I don't see it... WS and WSC have more buttons than GBA... Try emulating those w/ fewer buttons... not fun...

[brightman]

OK, that is a problem, but I am sure they can remedy it by make taps and hard presses different buttons or something (like what they did for the GBA Street Fighter game)...

It's not like the two D-pads on the WSC are used in conjunction much anyway. In most games they are just shortcuts or just one or two of the Y buttons are used.

[Reina]

Ahhh... how bout button morphing? for instance hold down "R" to make the first D-Pad act as the second D-Pad...
Maybe a WSGBA isn't such a bad Idea... it would be like PocketNES...

[matt1freek]

ya you know i figured...it would be great and would give people more of an excuse to translate all those wsc games.. i know gba cant do mode 7 from what i heard .. but i dont think wsc runs mode 7... hell if they can get sega master system emulated on gba i figured they could about do anything... obtw.. thanks for the replies i never thought that people would be so interested.  http://www.emuxhaven.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cheeburga.gif

[brightman]

GBA can definitely do mode7, a lot of its games use it, like Golden Sun for example. All the racing games like FZero and Mario Kart use it too.

[matt1freek]

actually i heard those were like a fake mode 7 ( i dunno how to explain it) but thats why you cant emulate snes on gba...i'd imagine that would make it difficult to do direct ports as well..[QUOTE]i feel a disturbance in the force[QUOTE]

[brightman]

Nope... GBA definitely supports Mode7. WSC used a fake Mode7 for FF4, but GBA definitely supports it. It can't emulate the SNES mostly due to the controller problem, but it can definitely do Mode7. (I don't think a fake Mode7 can produce such realistic Mode7 effects anyway.)

Heck, the GBA can even do 3D graphics beyond SNES Starfox-type Mode7 3D, so you're underestimating the GBA by miles.

[matt1freek]

wait a minute are you the brightman from rpgone translations?. if so i believe i owe you a debt of gratitude.

[brightman]

Yup, I am the one and only.  http://www.emuxhaven.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif  

And its no problem.  http://www.emuxhaven.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

?? Wow... How did you do a beta test for FF2 WSC and not know what the system is? &nbsp;http://www.emuxhaven.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Wonderswan Color, of course.

[The Tick]

Wonderswhat color? Geez, never heard of it... Then again, it was likely never released over here.

[matt1freek]

well hell someone just hand me &nbsp;c++ and a walkthrough and i'll put my time on it. since no one else seems to be working on it

[Reina]

And we'll see your "creation" 3 years down the road http://www.emuxhaven.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif (1 1/2-2 years learning c++ succesfully and 1-1 1/2 trying to figure out how to create such a transferer succesfully)
It'll take more than just a simple walkthrough...

[matt1freek]

im just sayin its not like my computers a pos and im willin to put my time into it if someones willing to help me out...it's ok im just some dumb newbie to yall anyways

Wonderswan Color was released to compte with the GBC but it never really made it over to North America &nbsp;http://www.emuxhaven.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

[Reina]

Though it had a very weird button layout IMO
here's a screen I leeched from another site...
http://www.emuparadise.org/images/wonderswan.jpg
Though this one is just the Wonderswan... not the color one...

[matt1freek]

http://www.quintadimensione.it/images/wonderswan/wonderswan.jpg
the buttons are set up so you can play it horizontally or vertical on some games. i also heard about how someone shaved the f-zero gba cart so it would fit in this thing and it worked! lemme see if i cant find a image...nope cant remember where it was. oh well. maybe i should talk to the guys at pocketnes or pocketsms they might be able to tell me something about creating a emulator... or i could just make something to change the file names to .gba and make it compatible i dunno lemme know what yall think. http://www.emuxhaven.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cwm15.gif

I find that VERY VERY hard to beleve... I mean they are completely different systems with completely different hardware....

[brightman]

Yeah, I don't think it would work, but I guess it would fit if you shave it off a little. Must be the fact that both handhelds were designed by the some guy (who died--so no more handhelds from him)

[matt1freek]

yeah that sucks... you make the virtual boy...it bombs...nintendo fires you... then you die in a car accident... http://www.emuxhaven.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

[brightman]

Maybe if Nintendo didn't fire him, he wouldn't have died?

[Reina]

That wouldn't of been such a good ideal... You'd go from being fired and getting a lesser (or even better) paying job to prison where you make only a tiny from prison jobs...

[matt1freek]

this is very true http://www.emuxhaven.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
