It is also already set to DSP. Also tried NULL.
Oh forgot to mention. I am using the CIA version.

Edit:
I could solve the problem. My GBA_BIOS had the wrong name.
After renamig it to gba_bios.dat I could start the emulation.

Just as info for other users. The Bios has to be placed in:

sdmc:/retroarch/cores/system

Change to one of the previous builds.
1.3.6 is somewhat stable but not that much, and not even mention the nightlies.
Try 1.3.3.
dosen't work either .. )=
this is what happens , i open gpsp or pcsx rearmed => 3ds logo => black screen => back to the 3ds menu with an error forcing me to reboot the console

Are you sure you have the gba_bios.bin file inside /retroarch/cores/system?
You are trying to run gpsp right?
yup i do have gba_bios.bin named correctly and put on the right folder i can't get to the retroarch menus its just a black screen then back to the system menu with that error
and yea gpsp is what i am trying to run ,mgba works fine
pcsx rearmed also has the same problem as gpsp

edit : btw i am on emunand running luma3ds , i don't have a9lh

That's really weird.
I would suggest that you clean up the system of everything RetroArch related.
Delete the /retroarch/ folder from the SD, delete the CIAs, then start again.
Install the CIAs again and copy the bios again once the folders are generated.

I remember I had a similar issue but can't remember what I did to fix it.
Try making two folders, /retroarch/system/ and /retroarch/cores/system, copy the bios into both folders and try again ?
can't gpsp run without bios ? i mean just to the menus , because my problem is that i can't even get to the menus where you can launch a game
anyways just tried making 2 folders same problem

it should let you into the menu at least.
how are you deleting the CIA? Through FBI/BBM?
I'd recommend any of he two, and try different builds of gpsp.
Go through the stable ones since 1.3.3 up to 1.3.6.
There has to be some sort of setting which is doing that, like the default menu type or the assets folder or something.

yes i delete my cias with fbi , btw i also tried running the 3dsx through Homebrewlauncher same problem but in hbl it just shows a black screen no error or anything
edit : deleted retroarch folder and downloaded 1.3.4 , launching gpsp dosen't create the retroarch folder , and it dosen't get to the retroarch menu instead it again shows the error
launching mgba though creates the retroarch folder , and it runs games normally

Well that's odd haha.
So mGBA does run but both PSX Reamrmed and gpsp do not?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
