I'm looking for a way to find out whether a GBA game is running on a GBA, or a DS under [Play GBA Game] mode.
There's a SWI that can get the BIOS checksum, and that you can test the checksum... but I can't remember how it's done. I searched for it, and found doublec's post on this thread, but I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for or not.

nocash and vba both come with a bios-replacement, so the checksum could perhaps detect emulator-users who doesn't use the standard gba-bios. however, the replacement-bioses might just return a bogus (like the one from the original gba-bios?) checksum for all i know...

Hmm... I just need some kind of indication if it's a DS really. If you've played Blast Arena... black on black with a black border... makes it hard to play. :D
edit - and we posted simultaneously, eek! Thanks for your help! :)
Woah... 0xBAAE1880? It's fate, I tell ya!

Does anybody know if these values hold over all GBA compatibles? (GBA, GBA SP, GB Player, GB Micro)

<offtopic amount='moderately'>Just wanted to throw in my 2 cents that Blast Arena Advance is one of the best homebrew gba games I've ever played. I love it, the simple gameplay, the audio/visual interaction, the overall feel. Nice work</offtopic>
