SEA Project worklog

SEA Project - stands for Super Everything Advance.

It's a small project to turn the GBA into a emulation platform to emulate:

- NES (PocketNES)
- GB/C (Goomba color)
- SMS (SMS Advance)
- SNES (SNES Advance, Snezziboy)
- PCE (PCE Advance)
- WonderSwan (SwanAdvance)

And other.
The first part is the addition of two buttons, that will act as X and Y buttons for the SNES emulators (X=select+a, Y=select+b) (DONE) and placing them into the small holes next to the link port(TO BE DONE SHORTLY).
The second part will be adding different clock speeds using a switch, placed on one side of the GBA. Planning to do: Standard/6MHz/8MHz/10MHz/12MHz
Last part will be the addition of a front light panel from a broken SP.

Here are some pics for now:

So he gba i am sending yow will be parts if you screw up. Get a flash cart. Bam! project done.

Already got one. How do you think I'm playing that emulator right there?

[palmertech]

Get a GBAaccelerator.

[mog123]

Wanted to, but they're too damn expensive for a small project like this. Besides, They don't go all the way to 3X

What are the diodes for on your x and y buttons?

[mog123]

So I don't short circuit the select button with a or b. The switch there has 4 pins, but in pairs of two. the two in a pair are connected. So if there weren't any diodes and I pressed select, I'd be pressing a and b also.

ohh ok. sweet.
