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===* 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. ===Sega Master System / Game GearSharp - Sharp X1 Turbo===
