A Really Dumb Question

Is it possible to run a Emulator by using ACE? i have seen Games being run trough ACE (including Pong!). but can you run a NES game with ACE? (may not be possible anyway though)

It's in theory possible. However, you wouldn't get anywhere close to full-speed (GBA has a hard time doing it already with PocketNES), screen resolution would basically suck (compare SMB1 NES to SMB Deluxe GBC), and you're likely to have emulation problems.

Just a dumb question anyway.

You could theoretically make a DMG sandbox/emulator on the CGB, but there'd be no real point AND it'd be easy to defeat the sandbox. Plus the code would need relinked for running from somewhere else than ROM.

Some great ideas have stemmed from stupid questions.
