Made an account to ask this.
After a day of trial-and-error, I have gotten Pokemon Ruby to work, to do this I have to select flash 128k. When I save in the game, it seems to save OK, but when I shut it off and open it again there is no option to continue, just "New Game" and "Options".
When I try to save in Fire Red, it says "Save error" and something about replacing memory.
How do you successfully save?
Also, I'm using it on a DS Lite with an Acekard 2i.
Thanks

you have to save twice.
then you must press y twice
this works for me with leaf green

or you can try the debug edition...something [f1] in the rom name.
and as for ichfly, do please try to fix some more games

Saving isn't automatic; once you save in-game, press Y.

Ruby should work fine with any (E) ROM, and maybe even a (U) rom.
However, FireRed needs the [f1] ROM to save consistently.

Any new updates ichy?

Any new updates ichy?

Git code is being actively worked on, but it isn't stable enough to even put out an alpha (I'm assuming).

That just means it'll be so much more awesome when it's released.

Hmm. i noticed...
but it looks that he's (for the time being ) solely working on the UI(his latest commit says-"added new gui")
Though i don't have any problems with the gui; it's plain and quite functional.
It's the game compatibility i hope ichfly fixes quickly

 

[wzhy90]

I will rewrite some things in asm (40%) and make some patches(5%) + fix the audio(80%) + make a new gui (the one from TEMPGBA only lunching a game is possible with this gui) (100% but untested)

I have built from source, but the new ui has no resource, where can I download them?

 

[GerryS2]

Hi at all, nice emualtor but how I can compile the source on github?

 

[ichichfly]

I have built from source, but the new ui has no resource, where can I download them?

Here https://github.com/Nebuleon/TempGBA/tree/master/TEMPGBA + you get the default list from the bin download. I will add this folder with the next update of the source.

Yes the current Version on git has some noise in the background.

newgui now is only a UI, cant play any games?

 

[ichichfly]

newgui now is only a UI, cant play any games?

It is only the UI it will lunch the emulator with parameters like what game to start play etc.

Btw.: it is not working yet

 

[raystriker]

Then for the time being, retain the old ui. it was quite simple and easy to use.
And yeah, any game compatibility updates?

This is a gba emulator for DS

This emulator is working and tested on r4i gold from www.r4ids.cn.

Install:

for wood user (v1.45 or newer) (If you use use an older Version you need to update as this won't work on an older Versions):

1. Download and unpack the latest Version (link) to the root of your SD
2. copy the gba homebrews and roms you want to play to your flashcard (the ending must be .agb, .bin or .mb (.gba dose not work at the moment (this does not work because wood disallows it. I can't fix that. Ask the creator of wood)))
3. finished you can now lunch your gba homebrew/roms like the DS homebrews/roms

Spoiler: current default list

==some homebrews/roms crush==
Try to hold the X button at the point they normaly crush it may work.

Load an other mode example oldirq/newirq/advirq/HblancDMA/forceHblanc.

Try to load patch.pat as patch and than load the game as usual (normally only works with advirq/HblancDMA/forceHblanc)

Hi ! I have an R4 Revolution for DS (doesn't work on DSi, not SDHC) and when I start a game (with wood, latest version), I have this :
"Warning, you try to run gbaemu DS on R4 (DS) - Revolution for DS gbaemu may not work, press A to continue and ignore this"

I press A, and the game (Pokemon Leaf Green) start
But, the save is corrupted, and the game freeze when I walk in the grass, and when I try to open the trainer card.

With Ruby or Sapphire, I have the message "The internal battery has run dry"

Can you help me please ?

LeafGreen doesn't crash when you use "patch.pat". Select it, then "patch", then launch leafgreen.

 

[Fishaman P]

With Ruby or Sapphire, I have the message "The internal battery has run dry"

That's because the RTC (clock) is not emulated. It'll only affect time-based events (like berries growing, or drawing lottery tickets), but saving will be fine.

A) Deal with it.
B) Patch your ROM with the RTC fix. AFAIK, it won't enable the clock (how could it?), it'll just disable that message.

Anybody know where i can get a newer version than the one on the OP?

For now, you'll have to compile it, or nicely ask someone else to upload their compile.
