Doesn't the GBA use the same (or modified) version of the PSX sound engine? GSF > mini-GSF or something? In either case I have always loved the low-quality soundfont that most of the games used, I guess the same way some like 16-bit pixel graphics more than 3D. I've even gone so far as to try to reproduce that sound by making my own instrument samples. It's a great time waster, and it makes every midi sound better.
Also, Audacity is great. The easiest way to loop is to find an easy to distinguish point in the wave shape that you can match with a similar point somewhere in another part of the song. Chop off everything after the loop-end point first, and then select everything from there until the loop-start to the left. Select Effects -> Repeat. Enter "1" and then hit Apply. You can see a black line where the loop starts. Place the cursor a little before that and play.
Very likely that the loop will be off, so you'll have to hit undo. It'll undo the loop and your selection will conveniently reappear! Adjust the beginning part of the selection and repeat the Effect -> Repeat until your song loops cleanly. Once you find a clean loop, click undo (yes) and go to Tracks -> Add Label at Selection and type in "Loop" or something. This will ensure you don't lose your loop point if you decide to edit further.
Effect -> Repeat, enter the number of times you want it to repeat.
Effect -> Fadeout the end
Export

Profit
All that typing and you already figured it out. On top of that it's not even what you were having trouble with. 3 hours of sleep. Let's just blame it on that...
Thank you for the high-res pic, btw.
