Programming a GBA is pretty hard core. Include gba.h, work through a tutorial or two and go crazy. Good luck!

Grab Devkitarm (NOT the ancient "devkit advance"), then look through the header files there, if you want to see all the possible calls and what they do.

For reference on how the hardware works, good documents include GBATEK, and TONC.

I want API(Application Programming Interface) explain, Is not tutorials or DEMO.
If only demo, how to develop a similar to the metalmax game.

The only API is the GBA hardware itself, and whatever libraries exist as well. (maxmod is a nice music library)
The functions in libgba/libnds are documented within the header files themselves, but they are little more than a wrapper for the hardware.
