Ehh, nope. I tested a firered romhack called Pokemon Ultraviolet and it works (on the build I listed earlier, and on current gbaemu4ds sources). So maybe try another rom hack? If not, out of luck I guess.
edit: well right from the start I got unknown OP. So.. romhacks are experimental

A guide I wrote a long time ago. Though I can't provide you any more support, I've forgotten all small details and nuances of gbaemu4ds.
For testing? Yes. But the latest commit in gbaemu4ds-alive branch has the best compatibility at the moment (even better than alpha2fix4), except for a few background modes that require proper handling since the background bits are used "directly" now, resulting in faster, and accurate results.
This specific commit below has an embedded barebones filebrowser which requires a /gba folder created in root SD path. Add *.gba files in there. No hbmenu requirement.

Thank you.
The reason why I ask this is because nds-bootstrap doesn't really support hbmenu, so in order for me to use this, I need a build that isn't hbmenu.
It would be nice if you removed the hbmenu requirement from the gbaemu4ds-alive branch as well, for all those that use nds-bootstrap.
Or perhaps, you can try to get in contact with @Robz8 about allowing users to view .gba files in TWiLightMenu++ and launching it through there.

It was ichfly decision to split browser-like features (such as file handling or save deciding) possibly due to binary size being at least twice as large and breaking some games while at it. Thus, gbaemu4ds core features, sound compatibility with some cards or patches are kept
edit: I am not actively working on gbaemu4ds anymore. I have a ton of things to do IRL and there's little reward to it. I hope the source code (that I did maintain) to be of help to any dev willing to take the project from now on. The source code I did maintain is at:
https://bitbucket.org/Coto88/gbaemu4ds/src/master/
Ask how gbaemu4ds code goes together and how it works and I am helping there, but do not ask that I go back. Thank you!

Hello Everyone.
Not sure how relevant this is as the last post here is Feb 2019 but I would appreciate the help.
I am using an R4 card as I really didn't feel like using homebrew and cracking the 3DS etc and it works great for the DS games which I were after.
I am trying to emulate GBA now as Nintendo's virtual console is lackluster and there's no way for me to play the old loved GBA games as mine died.
I'm trying to play Legend of Zelda Minish Cap specifically which doesn't seem to work. I've tried gbaemu4ds alpha fix 4 but that would give me terrible visual bugs and terrible audio, so I turned to this forum and found Coto's great work, however when trying the game it just gives me a red screen with a bunch of numbers and says there's some sort of an error
Any idea if this game even compatible? Am I doing something wrong? Or it's simply not meant to be?
Thanks in advance for replies

Thanks for that,
One problem though - It says to put the BIOS in the root directory but I have no idea where to take the bios from?
Also - The Github thingy has like 4 files per Commit? Which one am I meant to run?

Thanks so much! I was just a bit too slow to write that I've figured it out.
Sorry for posting a question before trying harder really >_> my bad....
Sorry if this has already been answered, not sure how to quickly search an 120+ page thread.
I'm using the version @Coto posted on Page 120. Pokemon Ruby works perfectly fine, but a ROM hack based in Ruby called Pokemon Snakewood doesn't. Also, I've tried the Pokemon Dark Rising series (patches of FireRed). Only the final of the 4 games works. And it works perfectly as far as I can tell. I didn't patch them myself, I downloaded the GBAs in whole. Most of them whitescreen, one freezes before getting to the menu.
Is there a reason why only one of the 5 I tried works? Does it have to do with which exact ROM it is? Is there somewhere I can read more about this or some way I can rectify the issue?
Thanks.
