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

OK I see there was a problem with my UI. The type you select is actually the file type for the file you have opened. I have added something that should detect the file type automatically. If it is a .sav file or if it is a .mb(multi boot). I have also added swi 2,3,4 and fixed swi 5.

r26
add: swi 2,3,4
fix siw 5
change: reduced power consumpting if gba use swi 2,3,4,5
add: file auto detect
add: mb now used as mb
change: now save new save files as .sav

How about bios file? I've got gba_bios.bin file (with size 16,0 KB (16 384 bite)).When I select it, emulator doesn't recognize it, and if I select
Use as
gbafile
save file
->bios

then nothing happens(well actually, it goes back to list and maybe after 0.1 seconds comes back to "Use as" menu). So emulator doesn't let me to select a .sav file nor .gba after selecting bios file.
Do I use correct bios file?

No that is an other UI bug. I will try to fix that in the next rev.

I tried putting this in my Acekard 2i on my 3DS and every game I load gets me a white screen, I tried loading bios and it keeps taking me back to the section where I pick between Bios, Game, or Save. I do not know what am I supposed to do to fix this, any help please? I am also using the most up to date version of the emulator and AKAIO software as well. The Roms I've tried were Super Mario Advance 2 and 3, Sonic Advance 1-3, and Pokemon Emerald.

go to the Compatibility List here :http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Gbaemu4ds_Compatibility_List and choose a game with either blue or green color

Looking forward to the compiled version on your site here. I tried compiling the latest version myself but I'm getting far too many errors to try figuring out the problem.

which version do you tried to compile ?
it worked for me when i tried ?!
i compiled all 3 versions of this site :
https://github.com/i...mu4DS/downloads
idk what I did wrong, but wouldn't have the time to figure it out.

The latesed hyperspeedup is up. hwspeedup and arm9 don't work yet. I will try to fix them.

Mario Kart Super Ciruit works but it has very much graphical bugs.
would be nice if you fix it ;)

I will try it. I am currently working on getting AsyncVsync (confusing but that is what it is) working

Amazing thing indeed to find a gbaemu for the ds after so much was said that it couldn't be done. I wonder how that feels to you to make the supposedly impossible possible :D Anyway I continue to look forward to everything you do, and thanks so much! Pretty soon, the possibility to have every Main Pokemon game on one cartridge (without a super card) will come true!
