A few questions; 1) How would I create games for the GBA? (Im guessing I would need to be a developer and have a special machine or dedicated software.) 2) Is the 32Bit ARM processor a proper 3D GPU or is it just a copy of Mode7 on the SNES? 3) Where can I find a detailed description of the ARM CPU's capabilities and speed?

Lucky for you, there''s a way to develop for the game boy advance for free.

Take a look at the following website:

It should get you started...
Good luck!

Thanks, a few more questions;

1) How would I run the game on the GBA, do I need a special EEPROM GBA cartridge and a device to write the compiled code to the EEPROM?

2) If I create a game can I produce and sell it?
Is there a company that buys your game and sells it for you?

Ummm, Get an emu to test it out, and I think you would have to talk to Nintendo about selling it...

GBA has no more 3D capability than say, a slow 486 w/ no accelerator, e.g. it''s possible, but not spectacular

check out www.lik-sang.com for something called a flash advance linker, it allows you to write a cartridge, but then look around, cause I saw one for $35 cheaper than they sell it for

you can''t legally sell a game for GBA, without buying a developement kit from nintendo.
