Not at all, but do note that the example I gave was
for PSX, not Gameboy.
get_key() could be made to return joypad codes to
handle this, this is possible if we get the source to
the runtime library.

Joypad = get_key(), sound = passing a sequence of
aveform audio data to print(), and using '3' as the
traget to print on.
Eg;
print(3,mysound) would play 'mysound'.

Actually, they do!
But again, do not confuse yourself reading my
statement.
I gave as example a port from PSX to PC, not PSX to
GBA.
For one, GBA can *never* be supported as a translator
tagert platform, because the sheer size of code
produced is too much to fit into a tiny cardridge.
GBC is the same.
So we're stuck with a bunch of consoles that all
support atleast one resolution available on the PC.
N64 supports 320*240 and 640*480, and even hugher when
you own an HD TV (allthough your game code should
support this).
PSX supports 256*256 (so does GB/GBC technically, the
frame buffer atleast), 320*200, 640*512(480 on PAL),
etc. PS2 and DC support 640*480, and hardrives, and
modems, and PS2 even supports the keyboard, mouse,
printer, or any other USB pheripheral, etc...
Hell, even the Gameboy supports a damned printer...
The cool thing is, that almost al consoles out there
that plug into a TV set support 640*480, wich is also
the most commonly supported resolution on the PC.

Not realy if you do it the way I said.
Well, between different consoles, I'd say 'yes'.
But between a PC and a single console, not at all.
