I am trying to play some of my GBA ROMs on mGBA but whenever I launch it, it gets stuck on a red screen. I have looked into the 3dshax subreddit but the information given wasn't helpful. I need help figuring this out.

I am aware that I can use the Virtual Console but I'd rather use this Homebrew Launcher GBA emulator.

P.S. - I have Luma CFW 7 and a9lh & am running on 11.4

i believe its a payload issue, if you have an N3DS redownload the otherapp.bin, Smea Fixed 11.4 Payloads the otherday (N3DS only. he's stated a new exploit hasto be used fix O3DS)

Red means you're missing boot.3dsx. Get the starter pack again and put in on the root. You should copy boot.3dsx and 3ds folder inside the starter folder onto the root of the SD card.

If you have cfw, .cía version works without issues, no need for using hbl version x)
What he said. Just install mGBA and use that. You get better results from using CIA vs HBL.

You can actually patch vc to do things it can't normally. You can patch the rooms to go into sleep mode after a certain button combo, and you can use a patch to brighten the picture and remove ghosting.

I do wonder though, what's the problem with using VC?

GBA VC isn't emulated like other vc is which means no save state support. Not to mention homebrew emulators often have support for things like running at faster than normal speed that vc doesn't.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    lmao
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
