Game Boy Advance Emulator
If the SNES can be emulated, I think it would also be possible to emulate the game boy advance. Isn't the emulator for the GBA in development?
I've tried (and failed porting GBA emulators to the ESP32. Those that ran were nowhere near full speed. So I gave up. But if someone wants to try the challenge, I can confirm that I would indeed accept to merge GBA support into retro-go!

Hello do you have the repository of the emulator you tried to make?
Unfortunately I deleted all those branches.
But the most successful attempt was with derivatives of https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/GpSP (I don't remember which one).
I also did get mGBA to run but it was too slow and it took a long time to reduce memory use enough. I wish I had kept it!

It would be good to resume the project. If you create a repository capable of uploading some code and adding more people. If you give me some basic instructions on how to start the migration, I can manage it.
I've made a quick port of gbSP-libretro today: https://github.com/ducalex/retro-go/commits/gba/
It can play games but not very well. I don't know yet if I'll spend more time on it... But it's there, as a reference for anyone who wants it :)
Edit: There will be a downloadable build here in a few moments: https://github.com/ducalex/retro-go/actions/workflows/ci.yml?query=branch%3Agba (click top link, then artifacts at bottom)

Hi, great job!! amazing!! Do you have any way to use a retro-go emulator on windows? How do you test it? Using the esp32 physically?

At the moment I only test on real hardware but there is some SDL2 support in retro-go.
In the past I have successfully built and run retro-go in Cygwin, MSYS2, and even TCC (though that won't work for gbsp). WSL2 would probably work too. No clue about VC++. These days I like to use https://github.com/skeeto/w64devkit/ with upstream SDL2.
But SDL2 support is very likely currently broken and I have no instructions or build script to offer unfortunately.
There's a ticket with some more details: https://github.com/ducalex/retro-go/issues/118
If you can get SDL2 in better shape, PRs welcome :)
