==Emulation issues==;[[No$|No$GBA]]There is no readily available Kernel ROM dump online, which is required for full compatibility when emulating with PK201:PocketStation as part of NO$GBA 2.7 onwards. HoweverThe odd choice of emulators comes from GBA, DS and PocketStation sharing parts of the file in PKEmu known as kernel.bin is known to work in PK201 if renamed to KROM, no file extensionARM architecture. It is unknown how compatible this is with most gamesFunctional.
