Homebrew I need help with RetroArch 3ds!

[MrMcTiller]

I have installed a lot of the RetroArch cias and I have the Cores, but I don't have the content. I want to play GBA games with the GBA emulator, but when I try to load the game this happens:


It shows that screen and then very quickly exits the software. I don't know what to do.


EDIT: Sorry, for some reason the image is dead. I don't know why...

Do you have the gba_bios in the 'system' folder?

 

[MrMcTiller]

Do you have the gba_bios in the 'system' folder?

In SD:/retroarch/cores/system? No

 

[8BitWonder]

In SD:/retroarch/cores/system? No

The retroarch gba core I use (gpsp) requires that file for games to work. I'll bet that the others (if there are others) do too.

where do I get it?

 

[8BitWonder]

I can't link to it or say where to get it, it's a copyrighted file. Just search gba_bios and you should find it somewhere.

I found gba.bios somewhere. Is that it?

It should be. Just put it into the system folder and try booting a game then.

Actually it should be gba_bios.bin, not gba.bios

Should I rename? OR find a different one online?

Also, should I have one for every emulator in RetroArch?

Most don't need a bios except for gba, and I believe it should be gba_bios.bin, but I could be wrong. Also, I recommend the latest mgba nightly over this as it doesn't have the random crashing issue.

Find a different one probably. Not every retroarch core requires a bios or system file. Of the cores that I use gpsp is the only one that does.

So I can use snes9 without BIOS?

Yes I believe so. If any core crashes when launching it's best to check if it needs a system file.

OK, Thank You! Oh and I was trying to use DOSBox, But I can't do anything!

EDIT: It loads, but I can't type anything

I've never touched the dosbox core before, so I don't know how to troubleshoot that one.
Hopefully someone else knows how to fix your input.

 

[MrMcTiller]

OK TY Anyway

I renamed the BIOS file I found and it worked!!! Thank You for helping!!!

If you don't mind me asking is there anything wrong with using VC injects? What I mean is, what is the advantage of using an emulator over an inject?

Does VC inject require internet?

If you have CFW access you can install them into the official Virtual Console emulator. All the games seem to work perfectly except for the Pokemon games.
