Disclaimer

• Have not touched this project in a bit, but wanted to upload it for others to use.
• I specifically have not provided the gba bios and roms because I am not sure of the legalities pertaining to roms/system bios and would rather not have to deal with bs.
• However, If you use some google-fu and attempt to search gba roms/bios, you might find what you are looking for.
• If anyone is decent at frontend/css and would like to contribute to a better touch GUI design (buttons/screen/etc.), feel free because I am a terrible designer.

There is no GUI for easy account creation; however, I have provided a reference with examples within core/api/examples.txt with simple POST/GET requests.
