#How to play rom hacks on retroarch cracked#
Nintendo introduced this “multiboot” feature so multiplayer games could be played between systems even if they didn’t all have a physical cartridge, but now that hackers have cracked the code, it means you can run arbitrary code on a completely unmodified console though it does get wiped as soon as you power it off. is using a trick we’ve seen in other GBA projects, where the program is actually transferred to the handheld over the link cable at boot time. Perhaps the best part is that you don’t even need a flash cart to try it at home. In testing he was able to push 2.56 Mbps through the link, which is a decent amount of bandwidth when you’ve only got to keep a 240 × 160 screen filled.

The GitHub page for the project goes into impressive detail on how the whole thing works, but the short version is that the video data is sent from the Linux framebuffer to a small program running on the GBA over the handheld’s serial port using SPI.
We say “simply”, but of course, it’s anything but. How does it work? The trick is that creator is actually emulating the PlayStation on a Raspberry Pi and simply using Nintendo’s handheld as an external display and controller.
There’s even audio support, although turning it on will slow things down considerably. The resolution is miserable and the GBA doesn’t have nearly enough buttons to do most 3D games justice, but it’s working. It might seem impossible, but what you’re looking at is a Sony PlayStation game being played on a Nintendo Game Boy Advance.
