everything runs great, thanks

the only 1 problem I notice is the box containing names for games is too large and is overlapped by the screenshot box

Been super out of the loop on anything Wii/vWii homebrew and emulation...but can somebody tell me, what's the best emulator for GB & GBC? Like a dedicated one, or is VBA gx 2.3.2 (currently) the best GB & GBC emulator on Wii/vWii?

Have heard the VBA GX used to have some issues with GB & GBC games at times in the past...but it's been years since I've heard that. So what do you guys recommend when it comes to GB & GBC emulation outside & while leaving out GBA compatibility?

Thanks for your time.

Oh nice! I think I remember hearing about this one.

I also just recently heard about gnuboy? How's that? Rin vs. Gnuboy?

Any other suggestion by others..it would be awesome to get as much feedback as possible.

EDIT: So I tried Rin...and emulation seems to be top-notch but the sounds is completely off & inaccurate for all games? Hmm...any GB/GBC focused emulators that people can recommend? ...Or is there a way to fix the sound issue? Guessing not...seems like this emulator hasn't been updated in years. lol!

EDIT #2: Is it normal for VBAGX to not be able to save states on GB & GBC games?

 

[Maeson]

Gnuboy has a lot of screen tearing and framerate issues the last time I tried, and I don't know if it was ever updated once in years.

You can use Retroarch's Gambatte core for GB and GBC which I don't recall having problems with, but you should also try mGBA, as it is a GBA emulator that supports GB and GBC too.

Besides those... Hmmm, try the emulator on Mednafen Wii?

Hi @Askot

Question how did you build this dol?

I did a compile of the 2.3.3 from tantrics Github, but still got the settings Dsi error.

I have been using the devkit enviroment from the snes builds (previous version to avoid CT/FFIII errors)

I have been using the devkit enviroment from the snes builds (previous version to avoid CT/FFIII errors)

I used:
-devkitpro rev 26
-libogc rev 27
-portlibs before last

I think DSI error fix it's from this commit by Tantric: https://github.com/dborth/vbagx/commit/5483f0f444b5ecf04ad72b848bbf9e25868197f4
Also, I merged libertyernie's commit with Tantric's.

Hi!
Can someone please compile the Ustealth support into 2.3.x version?
I'd really appreciate that.

BR

I'm good.
I found it on this forum. 2.3.2 + UStealth support.

How would someone go about adding cheat support to VBA GX?

 

[CaptainHIT]

Will be there a WiiU version soon of all those GX emulators?

I doubt it. But in the meantime, if you're playing GB games there’s a program called GameGenieGuy which you can input codes and it patches the ROM with the code(s).
Or if you’re want to play GBA games with cheats, just use mGBA. First you'll need the desktop version of mGBA, it will save cheat files as “.cheat”.
1. In the root of your SD/USB, make a new folder, “mGBA”.
2. In the mGBA folder, make a new folder with the title of the game (doesn’t matter so much that one). Drag the ROM into that. Or make a new folder called “games” and put the game title folder in there. (For better sorting)
3. Then drag the saved “.cheat” into the folder with the ROM and sav file. Make sure the .cheat matches the name of the ROM to make it work.

So far, you can't toggle the cheats while playing the game unfortunately. It’s 'On' all the time.

best GB & GBC emulator on Wii/vWii?

Retroarch’s Gambatte core, I think. Put the .dol in its own folder in /apps and launch it there.

Retroarch GUI sucks :S I prefer VBAGX

That is the problem; the GX line of emulators probably have the best UI.

That is the problem; the GX line of emulators probably have the best UI.

But the worst speed hacks and frameskip and many game suffer from it, and were intended for weaker hardware (in this case, Wii); Wii has mGBA which runs better than this *shrug*.

And yet there's more than one GUI mode, there's XMB GUI too, so...at least on Wii U. Wii can't do better than the RGUI due to memory limits.

I know, and it's the problem I've been having recently trying to decide which to use. I'm also really used to how VBA GX handles things, and I like the visual consistency between it and the NES and SNES GX emulators.

I suggest giving mGBA a try, it has a more basic GUI, but is easy to navigate and runs every GBA game full speed without compromise. Wii can't have a better GUI because there's <64 MB or RAM to work with.

A few times while playing my Wii U has just turned off by itself, is this a common bug?
