Homebrew GBARunner2

[Nikokaro]

I tried to load a Pokemon romhack ( Sword & Shield exactly ) and it crashes after showing the bios, I guess the emulator doesn't support any romhacks, right?

Try using the hicode build found here (second post: hybrid solution...):

Nope, still crashes. I notice that the Nintendo logo in the BIOS shows as corrupted or something like that while in other normal games it doesn't.

I remember someone saying all romhacks need to be added manually to the database for it to work, try to go on their github page and open an issue if they could add it in.

I don't think that's a thing, maybe you're thinking of YSMenu? Or maybe RTC only being supported on specific game IDs

It says that modifyng a string with hex editor can finally make golden sun 2 saves but I couldn't find that string in my rom, does anyone know exactly what hex string to change? The rom I have is the European version (Spain). Perhaps the string to modify is different depending on the region of the game.

Is it possible to do gamma correction?

Unlaunch is needed for DSP builds which are what make the DSi be so much better than playing on a regular DS. It helps so much with the sound.

how is it better to play gba games on dsi when some games dont even work?

 

[Cornholio309]

I myself find the DSi XL's IPS display panel really good looking. That and the larger screen resolution does make it a nicer alternative to play on for the GBA games that do run smoothly with little to no bugs.

Alot of games run decent on the DSi. However i do recommend a New 3DS for mGBA as it has full blown GBA support

the thing is the 3ds has the 3d panel which makes non 3ds game dont look as good as they do on ds or well, gba

New 2DS is your freind there, i have no problem with the New 3DS's screen but i can see how people have issues with it

you can always then use new 2ds xl lol

 

[Kyush4]

nope, same thing, you can only get away with the regular 2d, but picture is so small


(not that i agree with her "dsi xl is the best way to play ds titles" but yeah, 3ds was a burden for any ds/gba)

Assuming I'm understanding correctly, you dislike the black borders around the screen when playing DS titles?

That's something that's no longer an issue. TWPatcher offers a patch to force a 16:10 ratio. Briefly tested it with Mario 64 DS.

Late Edit: Tested it with more games (Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin). Works just fine too!

Anyone know if there are some build of GBARunner2 I can try to get Mother 3 work, or if I should just be patient and wait for a fix?

No one has gotten it to work, to my knowledge. You'll have to wait for a fix.

Someone should fork GBARunner2 and rename it to GBARunner3 and then actively keep improving and supporting it.

I'm pretty sure most of GBARunner2 consists of ASM code, so chances are unlikely.
It's also why (most of the time) no one contributes to nds-bootstrap (except me and sometimes, @Pk11), as the ASM code is for searching for the SDK functions in DS(i) games to patch.

That's what I though. It's a pity, though, because when GBA games ARE working in the DSi, they're looking and playing great So far my DSi XL proved itself a great GBA player for games like Oriental Blue.

Anyway thank you for all your hard work, using a TwilightMenu is so much more convenient than flashcards. Will get one for some emulators, though, like ZXDC, as it, unfortunately, no longer maintained, so getting a DLDI patch is a no-go.

I remember some of ASM programming from my Spectrum times, and I still wonder anyone is patient enough to do it regularily. Again, than you for all this hard work. nds-bootstap already runs most of the library (aside from some hacks, but you know... hacks...)

Hello gbatemp community! Recently i've installed TwilightMenu++ on my o2ds and had so much fun emulating all of my favorite oldies.
But i've stumbled upon a problem - i don't know how to Install the Gbarunner2 (gyroscope branch) on my console. When i tried installing, it had an error saying "Error Bios not found!" Should i delete / replace the one that comes from the Twilightmenu?
