Next gen?

[somedude21]

Kong, will you add the 5th gen games if theres an 8th generation (most likely will)?

[Tails]

I can hopefully answer that (correct me if i am wrong Kong) i doubt he can since it is too much for Java to handle memory-wise. i assume that whys theres no sound for GBA.

Game Boy Color is fifth gen and Game Boy Advance is sixth gen. Wonderswan is fifth and will eventually be added but it is worse than a regular Game Boy.

But what you are asking for is N64, Saturn, PlayStation, 3DO, Jaguar. Most of these systems relied on 3D graphics and CDs. Two large technical hurdles that Java will not be able to do for probably at least a decade. Bandwidth would have to be ten times as high and computers would have to be much faster.

I don't think GBA is retro and I have considered removing it from the site.

Well I say don’t remove GBA ... I don’t play it but if its able to be put on the site it should be gives you the competitive edge

I would assume that the lack of sound on the GBC is because of bad programming or just has not been programmed but that would be my guess

So you cant add the 5th gen until at least a decade huh?
And I think GBA IS retro I havent used one in at oh, 10 years.

[Squall]

GBA hasnt even been OUT for ten years!

[somedude21]

Oh sorry I must have been thinking about GBC

[mj23]

;D nice squall

[Tails]

Well GBA also has SNES ports.. so consider it a SNES Java Emulator we never had? I'd love to see A Link to the Past/ 4 Swords on the GBA at a point.

[Kong]

Doesn't work.

[Tails]

Doesn't work.
Well that sucks, is it the same thing for the Donkey Kong Country series on the GBA?

[Kong]

Most GBA games are not added because their file size is too big. Some others because of bugs.

[Tails]

Would that mean Donkey Kong Country 2 is a no go if you ever decide to put more GBA games on here? I loved that story line a lot.

Ah that sucks because I wanted to play the Pheonix Wright games that are on the GBA
