Why N-gage cannot play GBA games?

eh... guys.... as the topic... Why N-gage cannot play Game Boy Advance games? thanks=] __________________ because you need more processor power to emulate a gba. Nes and gbc aren't emulated 100% correct yet ( sound is awful ) so gba would be even more harder to emulate. __________________ oic.... btw anyone know the processor speed and the ram of this n-gage... etc etc? thanks =] __________________ All processor speeds for Nokia Series60 is around 104MHz __________________ ic.... i thought there would be some different between N-gage processor and other series 60 phones... __________________ i've read somewhere that N-gage has more RAM, dunno if it's true though __________________ hmmm.... ic.... __________________ oTaRu, symbian phones have emulators for playing GBA. files. __________________ is it? what is the format call? and where can i download it? thanks =] __________________ are you sure there are GBA emulators. As far as i know there are only GB COLOR emulators for Series60. Dunno about UIQ though. I've searched on google but could not find anything about a GBA emu for Symbian. __________________ here is the real reason.... n-gage is a feeble attempt at a hand held console gba is a REAL F***ing console, get over it __________________ all from wat i know , ngage is stronger then a GBA . over all , ngage is a better device .. the games are realli nice (fifa 2004 . splinter cell , sims ) +u have mp3 and radio . in other words , ngage is a little of everything . and in a good way . __________________ hmmm.... just dissapointed in the n-gage QD.... now the n-gage QD is more like a GBA with phone functions.... __________________ gba was made for the purpose of gaming, n gage is designed to be a bit more. as for n gage being the better device, you cant compare them, they are on different plains of existence, as for the n gage having better games. n gage has limited games. none are from nintendo and the majority of ngage games are ready to buy on wap or the better ver is out on gba. :P __________________ even if the N-gage hardware owns the GBA hardware it doesn't mean that it can emulate a gba 100%. GBA games are programmed with GBA in mind, so the programcode of the games are written with GBA hardware in mind. To emulate it is very difficult as the N-Gage hardware is not miles ahead of a GBA. Maybe it's possible to program a GBA emu, i am not sure. But i think it's very difficult to program such a application as far as i know. __________________ to be able to emulate another machine, the N-gage must be alot more powerful. the N-gage is not that much more powerful than the GBA realistically(or even not as powerful) therefore it cannot possible emulate it because a GBA runs games with its hardware, while an emulation on the N-gage will require a lot of proccessing power as it runs the game in using software to emulate the hardware. __________________ btw.... got n-gages game emulator to test the n-gage game on pc?? thanks =] __________________ i think if play GBA games on N-Gage...the processor will get burn...just like u are trying to run Warcraft on pentium2 pc... __________________ why would anyone buy an N-gage for anyway, its ugly and makes u look like a muppet when your calling someone. the games are not as good and are overpriced __________________ becos u got backdoor to play free games.... that's why some people want to buy it.... __________________ a few thousands of free symbian games are available on the net..no need to worry about it...
