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.

;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.
