I can get a used GBA SP for $20, and a flash cart, used, for $40. I dont see your point.

??? You just said a GBA costs $80 and the 256mbit card (32mb) costs $100 = a total of $180... !!!!!
compaired to the $180 it would if you wanted one for the GBA ) 
|
so if you own a GBA u have to pay 180 for the 2nd stick ?  slight flaw in ur maths but yea it is a bit expensive. but as mchart says, i dont wanna watch movies or listen to music on my GBA
edit: o mchart find me a GBA SP for $20 and ill be surprised |

heh, some of the replies here are pathetic so i figured i should register and get some facts straight. first off, i have been a nintendo fanboy for ages now and been a homebrew coder on various gameboy systems for like 7 years now.
anyway mcchart, even if you love your gba as much as you seem to do you should try to be objective. some things you said are just hillarious:
1st: "i can get a gba for 20$". well sure you can, but so you can get a used gp32 for like 5$ on asian streets. hell i even saw new ones for like 10$ for sale in korea. fact is, brand new gba == more expensive then new gp32
2nd: "the gba has mode0 etc etc and therefore makes it easy to emulate snes". fact is, even if the gba has some of the gfx modes the snes had it also lacks alot of things. brag about the gfx modes as much as you want, but the lack of HARDWARE SPRITE COLLISION alone is a *huge* drawback, especially on a 16mhz system. not to speak about the far superiour sound dsp the snes has.
that's why it took *ages* to get snes atleast somewhat working (3+ years). and despite whatever you say, snes emulation on gba is still shit - lots of games don't work, some work but with gfx erros. sound is brarely working at all. sure you can say "who needs sound/perfect emultation of hyper pachi majhong no dubutto dx when one only wants to play some zelda" - but the fact still remains that gp32 offers almost perfect snes emulation *with* sound and pwns the gba by far.
3rd. c64 emu on gba? please, get your facts straight. afaik there is only a C64-SID emu aviable, aka just a music player. i know there was a c64 emu announced but to my knowledge it isn't released yet, nor was there ever any public beta/preview build.
i am too lazy to write more now, but please don't bother to reply with "i don't care about xyz". i am solely talking about technical facts and possibilites here, i could care less about your personal preferences.

You took what I said completely out of context, all I said was that emulation for snes is *easier* not *better*. And yeah ok since your GP32's are only $5 do me a favor a put a few as buy it now on ebay for that price.
