HVCA, or Home Video Computer Advance, is a NES emulator for the Game Boy Advance (formerly known as Unofficial Famicom Advance/UFCA)

Based on the original Famicom Advance, various functions such as support for new mappers have been greatly expanded. It supports sound, custom palette, real-time save, rapid-fire key, FDS emulation, NSF player, PogoShell plugin.

Support Mapper: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, (9), (10), 16, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 32, 33, 34, 65, 66, 67 , 68, 69, 70, 72, 73, 75, 76, (77), 78, 80, 82, (85), 86, 87, 88, 89, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 101 , 113, 118, 122, 180, 184, 185.

How to use

Method 1 - Basic:

hvca
 |-add/
 |  |-*.cfg
 |  |-*.nes
 |  |-*.nsf
 |  |-*.fds
 |  |-disksys.rom
 |-bin/
 |-cfg(samples)/
 |-hvcamkfs.exe
 |-merge.bat

hvcamkfs.exe does not support kana (including double-byte alphanumeric characters).
Run merge.bat. hvca.bin is output.
Add license code and create hvca.bin -> hvca.gba.

Method 2 - NES2FCA:

hvca
 |-add/
 |  |-*.nsf (NES2FCA does not support NSF)
 |  |-disksys.rom
 |
 |-bin/
 |-cfg(samples)/
 |-hvcamkfs.exe
 |-merge.bat

nes2fca
 |-nes2fca.exe
 |-nes2fca.cfg

<PATH>/*.cfg
<PATH>/*.nes
<PATH>/*.fds

Run merge.bat. hvca.bin is output.
Put hvca.bin in the nes2fca directory.
Replace the modified nes2fca.cfg included in the download.
Run NES2FCA to create .gba (tutorial).

When you start the emulator for the first time it will show you the Internal WRAM setting screen.
