Gba Sp
 

My friend got a GBA SP. From his homestay, from japan.
I live in NZ, if i bought a game from NZ will it work? If I cant will i be able to get something to get it to work or what?
Or does he need to buy games from overseas?

Don't worry, all games work on any GBA system..

I've tried it.. I have a USA gba and I play japanese imports 100% fine..

Don't worry and you don't need to modify a thing.. ;)

Cheers man, thanks for the help!
I was going to get him to sell it & buy a NZ one!

no problem..

I was gonna sell the game until my friend showed me that it would work on my GBA..

Get yourself an emulator like visual gameboy and you can play all your games and more on your pc :D

EXCEPT games using netplay for example, Zelda 4 Swords :(

Is there any news about GBA emulators with netplay?

netplay
 

By netplay do you mean over the internet?

I suppose they could be networked over a lan, but I dont know if the emulator developers have done this yet...
prove us wrong... please....

yes over internet or on a LAN, nevermind.
if some author uses tcp/ip protocol, we don't mind if it's LAN or over Internet, it's the same.
But i haven't seen any emulator doing this.

It would be great to have a 2-player mode emulated on the same computer, using 2 (virtuals) screens perhaps even by launching the emulator twice but nothing seems to be done this far.

Hope we'll have some good news soon :rolleyes:

Speaking of emulation I read at ps2news.com that a GBA emu for ps2 is in the making! :D :D

it supposes having a PS2 and I don't ;)
maybe by using PS2 emulation for GBA Emulation :rolleyes:
not for now i guess :D

I heard that people in Japan can access the internet using Game Boys. Will this happen over here?

The Mobile GB adapter allows Game Boy Colors and GBAs to hook up to Nintendo's network using cell phones and lets players challenge each other online.

As for whether this is looking likely to happen anywhere else, I'll be blunt: No. The reason is that, while Japan has a standard for mobile phones, nowhere else does. This means a different adapter would have to be developed for every brand of phone in countries such as the UK or America, as each one is designed completely differently. Unfortunately, there's no way this will ever happen.

Fortunately, there may be other ways of hooking up. "Bluetooth", a communication system planned to become the standard for electronic devices, in which both Nintendo and partners Panasonic are involved, could provide a way of online play, but it's all speculation at the moment. Don't count on it.
