Homebrew [3DS] mGBA Alpha 1v Released

[JJTapia19]

i open it and it runs fine but it will crash after a few minutes. i realize this is only in beta and this is still better than citAGB but hope this can be fixed soon

That used to happen with the older versions. Are you sure you have the latest nightly? You can download it here https://s3.amazonaws.com/mgba/mGBA-nightly-latest-3ds.7z

Loving this emulator so much

Any Hopes that a new build would increase hope for those with a O3ds?

Maybe if hardware rendering was added. I don't know if that would be enough though. The o3DS really isn't powerful enough to emulate GBA without a kernel hack.

Even with a kernel hack, it's still slow as hell on my o3ds.

CitrAGB? mGBA doesn't use a dynamic recompiler as far as I know.

I'll just stick with using GBA emulators on my PSP Go and my old Xperia Play phone since they run flawlessly with no slowdown whatsoever! I also currently use a Z3v phone but I couldn't get my MOGA Pocket controller to sync with the official app (MOGA Pivot) and I'm currently looking for another plugin controller that connects and mounts to the bottom of the phone and uses either the PS3/PS4 controller or comes with its own controller.

i will test it and hope it works i guess i got the old version (im guessing i did)

 

[Rustic]

Last version i tried was on release day, and i tried the latest nightly yesterday.
The menu is a welcome addition, and the whole thing didn't seem to crash within 10 seconds anymore, thumbs up!

Can anyone tell me how much scaling solutions require performance? Like are they even worth implementing before they get more compatibility and performance out of this?

whats the advantages and disadvantages between an emulater and the agb_firm hack?

You have better screen brightness, savestates, you can change between games without having to reset. But in this emulator there still some audio issues even for 9.2 users. I would recommend taking a look at the retroarch gpsp port cia because it haves dynarec and it runs full speed on new 3ds (Haven't tested old 3ds) I'll switch to mgba once the audio gets fixed.

on O3DS, I currently am playing Superstar Saga at full speed with barley any audio cracking. Super Circuit runs pretty fast too!
Great work!

If you have O3DS 9.2 just downgrade and get CFW, then use the CIA version. Ive heard CIAs run faster :3

Is there a compatibility list for this anywhere? Sorry if it's buried somewhere in this thread...

1) You can do that on 9.2.
2) CIAs don't always run faster.

 

[Kikirini]

The cia doesn't run faster on cfw on o3ds. I've tried.

i know this is a stupid question but what is kernal access? is it gateway?

I don't think even the CIA has dynarec support. That's why.

No, it's not Gateway. It's exactly what it sounds like, access to the 3DSs' kernel.
