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.
* Pocket SNES: Low Compatibility.
===Sega Genesis=== * No known emulator for Genesis yet. ===Sega Master System / Game Gear=Consoles==

;CoG: The first ever ColecoVision emulator for GameBoyAdvance.
:It lacks support for multiple ROMS. The bug supposed to be fixed in the 1.0 release, but however, the development has stopped.
;Cologne: The author made a "quick and dirty" emulator based on SMSadvance. Can play a few games.
* DrSMS: GG/MS. Excellent speed and compatibility.* SMS Advance: SG-1000/GG/MS. Good. No FM Chip, EEPROM emulation. ===PC EngineEmerson Radio - Arcadia 2001===

;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IHBIlnx52Y YJ Emulator]:An emulator commonly used on pirated multicarts like PocketNES. Its name is derived from the header. Games will suffer from low speed and poor sound emulation while emulated. There's currently no way found to inject the game into the emulator.
* SwanAdvance: Very early, low compatibility and speed. ==Arcade=Sega - Master System / Game Gear===
