Could you possibly convert a super metroid rom to a .gba file, able to play on a gba emulator? (we need a 1337 h4><0r!) If so, hypothetically, you could use this baby, I suppose you could get Super Metroid on GBA. As long awaited. >_> I didn't link to any roms or emulators, I just linked you to the flash linker. So no locky. I just want an answer on possible or no possible. But hypothetically, it might be able to be done. But I never called myself a 1337 hax myself or anything. So don't take my word for it

To make a long answer short, no, you can't.

You could still put like, your own games using the engines of existing ones on it. It can still be cool. I guess it is pretty old, though. I am sure I am not the first to discover it. I am a random idiot, as stated in the festivus topic. Oh well

Short explanation to short answer: the processor architecture for GBA is completely different from that of the SNES, and hence would warrant almost a full rewrite of the assembly code of the game. Thats why, as Kej said, no, you can't do that.

Or wait for Nintendo to bring it to GBA as a gunshippy remake that ruins the best 2D Metroid game ever.

Plus, the Game Boy Advance lacks two buttons in comparison to the Super Nintendo controller. If they did, they would probably remove the dash button and the other button (non-jump/shoot). Metroid Fusion/Zero Mission had to change the dash button to just running for a short while, which I thought was a major setback from what Super Metroid did.

I thought it rocked, but that's just because pressing three buttons on an SNES controller at once equals PHSYICAL PAIN! I don't get how people like that unless they're big dorks who stole the game on an emulator.

I agreed at first, but in replaying SM I really appreciate the flexibility of the running speeds...walking, dashing with run button, dashing with speed booster...and, perhaps more crucially, corresponding flexibility in jumping height. Removing the run button would really set things back, though not as much as removing the ability to unequip stuff would. Having a fixed distance to begin boosting would eliminate a heck of a lot of tricks unless the distance were set to being the same as the short-charge one, and even that would probably kill the mockball. I guess I could see replacing aim down with dash, though I really didn't like ZM's substitution of aim up + d-pad down.

Yosh, the closest I've gotten re the buttons is hooking my index finger over the controller face to hit X; I can hit three at once but not with any precision. I'm still experimenting with controller settings, though. I don't get how people hit select while dashing. The item cancel button is probably redundant with the item select one, though I found I used it more than I thought when I switched them and kept ending up using super missiles instead of beam. :P

I don't have any trouble pressing three buttons at once, but maybe I just have big thumbs. Another game where you have to do that is Megaman X, when you dash-jump off of a wall while charging the buster.

that's better than being stuck with a broken snes wishing you could use a controller to be able to hit 3 buttons and a direction at once ;)

Or if someone made a mod for the DS that could draw from the DS slot, and the GBA slot at the same time, and made a large GBA cartridge thing to be a hardrive., using the link stated before, and programming a browser for the DS slot. Just another thought. =O

OR wait until SM is released as either an extra or a remake for the DS where you can de/activate beams and suits with the touch screen...while running and stuff.

You know people, I'd love an SM port to the DS because pushing three buttons on that thing DOESN'T cause pain. Plus I actually have the system at my house. And while the music would be off as most ports are, it might also be clearer too. Doesn't take much to beat the murky sound quality of SM.

I didn't say the music was bad, just the format it's in. I love the music with the piano (can't remember all the area names because the game itself doesn't tell you).

acutally, i believe ekarderif was referring to the (most would say) failed attempt by yamamoto to play a rendition of super metroid lower norfair on the gamecube's supposedly superior sound system.

Brinstar - the game does tell you on the map, albeit confusingly with the one-screen intersection of Maridia and Brinstar. There are two Brinstar themes, though; people usually refer to the two parts as green Brinstar and red Brinstar but east and west would be as accurate. Perhaps moreso given how much of green Brinstar is in fact pink. Anyway, that's the red/east Brinstar music.

The little I heard of Magmoor (right?) sounded fine, but it wasn't much and I'm not as fond of the LN music as some anyway since the area terrified me when I first played and still tends to depress me.

Well, first, I believe you meant that "red" Brinstar is mostly pink.

The original LN music has a little dissonance that I think really contributes to the effect that as I recall was removed in the Magmoor theme. My problem with both renditions is that neither is quite ambient enough...they both start to grate on me fairly quickly.

I think that there will be no SM port for anything. I will stick by my idea about the DS mod. =/

Red = shaft after the noob bridge and further, i.e., where the music changes
Pink = room where Charge Beam is found and offshoots

LN is one of the greatest songs ever, quite possibly my favorite. I like the Magmoor version too, I don't see (hear?) what's wrong with it.

What makes you say it'll be bad? I mean, it could be....y'know.....better. Assuming they make it exactly the same except with better graphics. Keep the music the same. Or use the music from Zero Mission instead. That'd be good....

Bite your tongue. I thought ZM's music was okay although I wasn't enamored of Ridley's hideout BGM (note that I hadn't played the original, so it was entirely new to me), but I see no reason to replace SM's. There are a couple of pieces which strike me as odd -- the Botwoon/Spore Spawn miniboss music, the part of Maridia where all the pipes are (is that considered Maridia depths or would that be the places with the fish and crabs?) and probably a couple others -- but I do not want the range of mood from upper Brinstar to lower Norfair altered and especially not the intro and credits music changed.

I might be okay with the Wrecked Ship being spiffed up a little, but the bareness of it before fighting Phantoon goes with the creepy atmosphere with those icky ghost heads. And I'm kind of tired of the post-morph ball old Tourian music after ZM used it in the pirate ship as soon as the first one spotted you (I liked the sneaking around music before then, but didn't get to hear it for long). But I can't imagine replacing any of them with ZM music.
