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

[jerbear64]

(In alpha2 fix4)
When I launch Super Mario Advance 2, is bottom screen is white (which I assume is correct).
When I launch Yugioh Dungeon Dice Monsters, the top screen is white.

As for the white screen, I would personally prefer just shutting off or blacking out the unused screen.
Shutting it off would save battery, whereas blacking it out would be less annoying.

I would prefer shutting the screen off- Flashcarts consume enough battery already.

Sorry I can't reproduce the bug.

I can only shut down the back-light (I will do that in the next Version) not the screen also as I use the display mode 0 so I don't have any unneeded VRAM waits but the downside of this is the display will be white.

Alright, will gladly take a white screen for more performance (or less complexity), especially if you can shut off the backlight.

I have searched everywhere, but I don't know what im doing wrong.

I have a 3ds XL with r4 wood.

I unzipped the alpha2 fix4 on the root of my SD card, and placed the .bin gba roms on both the root and __rpg folder (to try both methods, loading with hbmenu.nds and loading directly from the r4 menu)

Games won't appear on my r4 games menu like the nds ones and when i try to run hbmenu.nds i get a blackscreen with this text: "fatinitDefault failed!"

Any ideas?

I had problems with the Wood version too (although I was using Wood4TT because the R4i-SDHC is a DSTT hardware clone). You'll get the fatinitDefault failed messafe when launching from an incorrectly patched DLDI. If you've got another kernel other than Wood, use that to load HBMenu.nds.

I have exactly this one: http://www.r4gold.cc/images/WOOD card only.jpg

Is it a copy? :/

And, I do not have anotherr kernel, any suggestion? or just any sould work fine?

Thanks for replying tho, i'll search something.

Your card is a clone and most likely running a hacked Wood R4, which could be causing some problems for you.

I suggest trying Retro's files

Gonna try this one, thanks!

And sorry for being a total noob about FCs, got my 3ds 2-3 weeks ago and I couldnt afford the DSTwo by then because I bought KH 3D, Theatrythm FF and KI:U so i just ran out of cash too fast lol.

Since i just noticed that I have a clone, im not sure anymore about which Kernel should I install on my FC (not even after reading the .txts) Q_Q

Anyways im gonna try to install the R4-Clone YSMenu, which im guessing is the one I should use (since i guess my clone is a R4 gold clone)

EDIT: Oh, and I guess it shouldnt be a problem if I dual-boot this kernel, right?

 

[The Catboy]

Don't worry man!
Most R4 Clones are often DSTT clones actually. I don't have your card though, so I suggest trying that.

YSMenu often needs to be dual-booted to work on some flashcards.

Great work can't wait for a auto-detect sound fix (there are 10+ options for sound dunno which to choose >.<)
all of the games worked somewhat fine but those 3 crushed at the start with the errors posted below. Is there a specific setting to change to get around this? like Vsycline and such...

Yeah... R4 Clone kernel didnt work, will try that.

I don't recall ichfly saying anything about an auto-detect sound fix.

Anyway, all the sound options are just their normal counterparts, but with sound.

oldirq - Should only be used for homebrew under most circumstances
 
newirq - Standard setting, suitable for most uses
 
advirq - The fastest setting. Try this first, and fall back to newirq if there are glitches.
 
(old/new/adv)irqsc - Scaling option; whites out one screen and makes the other fullscreen. (In alpha1 fix1, this was a dual-screen mode, with 1 screen being fullscreen and the other normal)
 
(old/new/adv)irqsound - Should be self-explanatory.

Thanks for explaining, wasn't sure about the types. and ichfly didn't say a thing about auto detect I was just hoping

Okay, try these steps I used to get it running on my R4i-SDHC:
Download the official YSMenu.
Then grab DLDI No-AutoPatch from dldi.drunkencoders.com.
DLDI No-Autopatch the YSMenu, and then it should work. No more "no FAT found" errors and such. That should work on your cart.
Unfortunately, this won't work for Wood. I've tried, and it fails. You'll get a no FAT error and all that either way.

try to load patch.pat as patch and than start the game also works with YA.
auto-detect is most likely not possible.
thanks for the error reports looks like there is a bug in the H-Blanc handler...

Thanks for replying ichichfly! I have A small request (I hope), when you in the program after you select a gba rom there is a menu before playing the game(with bios patch and gbafile) is there a way to make it so when you push the B button it go back to the gba list of games?

Agreed. I don't want to have to keep resetting my DSi.

 

[smoke14me61]

Sorry if this has already been asked but is this one better than the gba emulator made by darkchen?

No, it's much less compatible.
