Isn't it easier to say the guy is just making GBA ports of GB titles? I don't see why all this technicality is necessary. Its not like he's making something that will automatically port any GB title in that manner. Or is he making a platform in which you can play GBA remakes of GB games...?

TL;DR They've written an emulator that runs on the GBA, which emulates a fantasy, souped-up version of the GB with many features of the GBA added. And now they're manually porting existing GB games to this fantasy GB platform.
