Even if there were to be one, to emulate the decent games at a fair speed is wishful thinking.. im sure those arcade games from 1970 and so would work fine though ;P

My brother bought back a 100 game cartridge for my daughter's GBA a couple of years back, and on the cartridge were some GBA games and then 40 or so old arcade games (Galaga, Pac Man, Dig Dug to name a few) that looked like, sounded like and played like the arcade originals. Can anyone shed some light on how that was done emulator-wise?

gba has a great homebrew nes emulator, Pocketnes. Likely that you played a nes emulator for gba containing nes roms that were remakes of arcade games...

Depends on the games... if there is homebrew that runs the old SCUMM games, then pretty much any arcade game from say 1989 back would run fairly well. That is my dream, to have a bunch of the oldschool arcade games at my handheld disposal!!

You could be right, but they did look exactly like the old arcade games. Could the NES do arcade games that well? Been so long since I have even seen an NES, let alone an old NES game.
