# Corrupting the GBA

## Introduction

The Game Boy Advance (GBA) is a 32-bit handheld game console developed, manufactured and marketed by Nintendo as the successor to the Game Boy. It has similar capabilities to the Super Nintendo.

Recommended setup: Nightmare engine, Hellgenie, Freeze, Pipe
{% endhint %}

## Recommended Settings

The GBA cores in Bizhawk will auto-select RAM domains that can be rewinded. The ROM can also be corrupted for more effects but corrupting this one means that using rewind for uncorrupting is not an option. You can get more results using ARMThumb Instruction Lists.

## Expected results

The GBA's got a reputation for being very crashy and especially for outputting a strident noise when crashing.
