NES on GameBoy Advance
If you don't have an NES, GBA can be the next best thing. Even if you do have an NES, GBA is probably the best option to make a good number of NES (and Famicom) games portable (no GameAxe required)
The GBA is compatible with a lot of stuff, including all GB games, GCN, e-Reader, etc and these provide great possibilities for legitimate NES portability.
I've tried to compile all the NES-to-GBA ports here, for my own reference, for posterity of course, and also to see if anyone has input on anything I missed or am not aware of. Any input would be great!
