Not really ideal for the obvious reason GBA has two buttons less than the SNES.
 
;SNES Advance:Formerly known as PocketSNES. Different versions have different game-specific fixes breaking stuff elsewhere. This emulator is very inaccurate and has lots of issues, it hasn't been updated for a long time, so it's not recommended to use.
 
  
===Sega Genesis===

===Microsoft - MSX===
* No known publically availble emulator for Genesis yet.
 
**There's an emulator called "YJ Emulator" that's used on some pirated GBA multicarts, but it isn't dumped yet.
