Hardware > z80 on GBA

Hi all,

I know that there's a z80-like chip on the GBA, but how is it possible
to use it ?

Thanks in advance for your replies ...

Hello!

Its a hardware question,
Not a coding question!

But there is a hardware forum too, so dont despair!

While I'm reading this I may as well comment on it.

You can't use it unless you use a gb/gbc cart. The gba detects which cart type is inserted and switches modes depending on what it finds. Theres no way to use the z80 in "gba" mode.
