Homebrew gbaemu4ds: GBA emulator for DS(i) (DSi Entry)

Is the graphic better if you use the sc Version and the upper screen on a 3DS

Gambia, The
ichfly, in the next revisions, will you make auto save loading?
And could you explain the patch system in a little more detailed structure?
The patch system is simple
click on the first "Durchsuchen" than select your gba file you want to patch
If you want to apply ips cheats click on the second "Durchsuchen" and select the ips file
if you want to patch the sp point check the check-box (if you don't know what this dose don't do it)
to cheat check the V3 box in case you use V3 cheats than copy a cheat line like (83004932 0001) and click on "Verarbeiten" do that for all cheat lines you want to enable.
Than click on "Erstellen" the resulting files can be loaded from the emulator.

On the emulator:
start normal
select the sav file in case you want to use on
than select the resulting file you created with the patcher and load the file as patch
than start the gba file as normal.

this is amazing. good work!
Please dont missunderstand me.... but what are you planning to do next?
That is a secret as of now.
Um, i cant get the latest version, working, can someone help me plz
What is not working?
update r40

fixed old_irq
added patching system

patcher https://github.com/i...ner/patcher.exe

to cheat copy the lines in the cheat Datei line an click "Verarbeiten" after each line. Than click on "Erstellen" load the resulting file as patch after the save file.
The patcher can also change the sp and convert ips patches

ADD: all 3 cheat systems work exception
CHEAT_PATCH_ROM_16BIT
CHEAT_PATCH_ROM_32BIT
GSA_SLOWDOWN
and encrypted codes
Is it like this?
No the system is not working because of large jumps. It is more or less a replacement and it works without hooking anything in the gba file.
why the hell do you need an exciting ui. at the moment this application is concentrated at emulation and compatibility. Look at Lameboy. It has almost the same ui and it is emulating gbc games so there is much more ram for an ui. I dont understand much from programming but the ds has 4 mb of ram and the emulator even loads 16 mb games. No much space for an fancy ui.
And sound. ok sound would be nice but if the sound lowers the framerate and the game lags it would be more worse than playing whitout sound. I mean ichfly mentioned something like the ds is not this powerfull for emulating proper sound. I´m still wondering why nobody suggested psp emulation yet. I think this emulator is kind of a miracle. Remove those polls and let ichfly do his work.
Say thanks for the emulator and make usefull suggestions instead of critizising the ui.....
like would it be possible to just show folders and gba and gba saves and how about a donate button. for example one revision one dollar spend(i mean someone spends a dollar for r39 and thats it and at r40 someone who thinks it is one dollar worth spends the next)

Thats all i want to say because that arent suggestions anymore but ungrateful postulations
I don't think I add the possibility to send me money I may add some adds but not yet.

I understand how and what to do, but what kind of cheats? Give an example.

Because its his emulator, he is probably working on it alone since people who could help are only giving hints since they "no longer work on the DS scene" and cuz he does what ever the hell he wants with the emu. I mean sure there are another important things to do b4 adding cheats, like better output video, faster emulation, better compatibility etc etc etc, but we will have to take whatever he wants to add to it...

Why are we incorporating cheats when there is more pressing business that needs to be concerned?
"We"?

Well if you feel like you need to take part and want to see a feature added, why not ask the author how you can contribute, code-wise?

None of the emulators ask me for memory allocation. Are you using AKAIO 1.9.0?

btw, I'm updating the compatibility list for the Final Fantasy advance titles.

It's a full-blown emulator, and it can load roms larger than 4MB. I'm playing Pokemon on it so yeah.

Gameshark and codebreaker only?
For each cheat a file?
Can you put multiple lines at once, or only one?
Gameshark(V1,V2 and V3),codebreaker and raw write loop
loading from a file or multiple lines is currently not working.
CodeBreacker works for me on metal slug. Only one cheat at time.
Will any compatibility fixes be done?

This is the order of loading?:
1 Save
2 BIOS
3 Patch
4 Game

arm9 and hwspeedup are a emulator. hyperspeedup has parts of a hypervisor as it run gba code directly but also emulate some HW so it is both.
hyperspeed up load the first big part of the rom into the ram and execute it there. The rest is like the on the other Versions loaded from a buffer and from the SD.(The buffer on the hyperspeed up is not as big as the one on the other Versions)


Sound would be so good ;D
May you know someone who could help me with the sound emulation.

Why are we incorporating cheats when there is more pressing business that needs to be concerned?

I add them because I need that for testing anyway.

1. Yes I may have fixed some games with the sp changer option but I gess that nearly nobody can use this function (or only change the irq sp that makes the emulator only about 500.000 - 50 ticks per secound faster).
2. yes this is the loading order.

Please add to recognize patch files.
Also when press left to decrease and on press right to increase VSYCLINE. Currently is opposite.
I See the reset is currently working.Right?
If the game is reset the screen with "You try to start emulator in DEMO IO Library...." even with .argv file. Please add that to argv too.
