It all goes back to the time I played on the PCEAdvance emulator in my GBA off the Supercard SD.
As I was amazed by how you could either speed up the gameplay by disabling the TimerIRQ and turning the sound to on with the mixer then pressing reset in the menu to get a full speed game with audio that was what the GBA could do or sometimes with no audio at all.
It was also great fun using the feature which let you scroll up or down the screen by using the unscaled feature which zoomed into either the top or bottom screen area via pressing L or R on the GBA itself.
Years past and I got a GBA Everdrive X5 I already knew this device could play what the Supercard SD could and more but I was more interested in playing SNES games on it.
It was only after downloading smokemonsters last official available GBA pack back in 2017 that there was a folder in the game series collections which had a emulator called SNESAdvance the thing about this inspired me to think how well they would work if more were added.
The folder had variants with versions on them but the odd thing was only half of them let you scroll up and down the screen pressing select and up or down, while some others had a feature which made the camera follow the sprite in game with no adjusting the camera at all.
After playing all of the available games in that folder I decided to find the emulator myself but with no luck I couldn't find anything other than PocketSNES so with its limited use I patched every single game on the SNES taking a lot of months.
It was only when I was on pdroms site which hosts various emulator devices that I learned that my version was outdated but it was not all bad news due to the fact the new one didn't come without problems on its own (A good example is the game Demon's Crest oddly only works on PocketSNES while on SNESAdvance it blacks out)
The confusing thing of this is that it seems PocketSNES was the main thing worked on, it seems SNESAdvance went under the radar and was made later on the thing is nether site seems to have the latest version on what games work or what does not.
Take for example this info -

And this info which only got halfway and didn't help much -

It all seems like it was based around the older version before you could a just the camera which is why they say to set the offset to what it is so the part of the screen above can be seen, but this gets more confusing on the readme too and it's that most games stated that work I couldn't get them to work be it the one from pdroms or the one off their site.
Apart from that I can honestly say that this is a great way to play SNES games on a GBA it is like PCEAdvance and more though it takes a while to get used to the camera being adjusted via select and up or down... it all comes down to a beautiful package and best off all seeing 16bit games on such a sharp GBA screen is true popping eye candy ^^
And with that said I hope this becomes a great addition to anyone's GBA device which can play SNES games now
