Homebrew mGBA official standalone Wii port

[Demifiend]

OH!, now i got it working, thank you guys, I just did exactly as you told me, putting those lines of code makes "config.ini" automate the process of incorporating it, now the games looks better stretched, gotta try the GBA games i wanted to!.

Yeah, I've been waiting for this too!
I've been using the mGBA core from RetroArch previously just because of the lack of fullscreen, but I couldn't play GB/GBC games because the core doesn't have support for those.
Now I can safely go back to mGBA official and try out all of those games, including the DX colour hacks!

I didn't know the RA core of mGBA lacked GBC support (are they really determined on not updating that core?) but yeah, at least we have this now

Well apparently they are holding on because endrift told them to not grab the nightlies for the mGBA core, and the nightlies are the only ones supporting GB/GBC support at the moment.

I don't know if the latest mGBA core of RA is based on 0.4.0 or 0.4.1, but I know the last time I tried, 0.4.1 was already out and I still couldn't boot GB nor GBC games from the mGBA core because the core itself doesn't recognize .gb nor .gbc extensions.

Probably not. There are a bunch of updates sitting in the pipeline because endrift said to hold off on pushing them through. Dunno if the libretro-ization will expose GB/C games or not. That's up to endrift.

At least we now have the official mGBA on full screen.
RA can suck it from now on.

I'll still use RA for its superior Snes and NES emulation

I have a question: is possible to use the standalone Mgba as a plugin for Wiiflow? That works well on genesisplusgx but I dont know what to write on the arguments to work with mgba (or if this is really possible)

 

[SuperrSonic]

It's possible, it only needs one argument for the entire path. It's been some time since I used wiiflow, have you tried:
arguments={device}:/{path}/

 

[soniccomcisbr]

I will try right now

 

[soniccomcisbr]

Update: Its working. Thanks :3

Still hoping for Super Gameboy support... Maybe GBC bios support too? That would be epic...

I second that

I hope Super Gameboy support runs the games at their proper clock speed; the flaw with the SGB is that it ran 1-2% faster than it should've, making the music somewhat different.

I have a bit of a problem. The emulator won't search for any Roms at all. It's stuck at selecting a file:

(UP)
:sd/

I'm trying to hit "sd/" but nothing happens. I am running this on the Wii U via Wii Virtual Console, btw.

if you have an wiiu why not use the mgba port of the beta retroarch u in wiiu mode?

Seconded, it actually loads pretty darn fast and runs just as well as the Wii port.

I've used Retroarch before and didn't like it. It was kinda confusing to me. Since the style of Retroarch is the same and I couldn't tell which emulator I'm using and where the files were located.

But I'll try redownloading Retroarch again and go through it carefully.

For Wii U, there's only one app per core, you if you want GBA, you only load the GBA app itself.

Thank you. It worked!
