NOOOO! Please don't do that! The control element is what makes these games
great! Ok...deep breath. I've never seen the GBA, so I don't know what it's
capable of. But if these buttons are just standard digital inputs, using them
to simulate paddles would *kill* the games. I used to play Kaboom! for hours
at a time. In fact, I just picked it up again last night while testing the
2600 AV mod...it was only a test, but I wound up wasting an hour without
noticing. And I scored 2969 points! :) Ahem...back to my point. I can't
stand Kaboom! on emulators that use keyboard input. Or any of the other
paddle games. They're awful.

That's it for now. Oh...and I was just kidding about
A Boy and His Blob and Sinistar. I don't know anything
that you guys don't. ;) Though if they were available
then...YES!
