Harlad,

Just a follow up on the feedback you provided...

Is this 50-60% increase in program space?

Has the data space requirement increased?

I'm asking this, because I intend to use the ARM port on the Philips LPC21XX
device. My intention is to run the program from FLASH, which can execute at
full speed (zero wait states) upto 60MHz :-). Unfortunately this device has
a 32K RAM limit.

Programming the GBA IS great fun.

I would suggest the HAM-GBA development IDE
(http://www.ngine.de/site/index.php).
It's very easy to get up and running (nice demos) and free (last time I
looked).
