Homebrew GBARunner2

[Zense]

tried the builds inside the lastest SRloader release without SRloader, still the same result

You gotta change the build inside srloader which you find in _nds. Swap the newest arm7wramicache build with the gbarunner2.nds and gbarunner2_fc.nds and go to options in srloader and enable gbarunner2 for gba. Then run the gbarunner shortcut from the srloader menu.

as i said, i dont know how to use SRloader so i just run the GBArunner2 builds straight from my flashcart, i tried both the normal and FC build, the normal build gives me an error message and the FC build gives me the same "test" message as before

Srloader needs to be run from the boot_fc.nds file. This is the easiest way to run gbarunner2 in your case

does it make any diference compared to running the GBArunner2 builds it comes with separately?

Yes. I wouldn't have told you to do so if not

 

[brunocar]

Yes. I wouldn't have told you to do so if not

my bad then, ill check it out and get back to you

Will there be a chance that we can use the bottom screen to display the game? I'm using a "GBA Macro" converted DS Lite to play my GBA games and playing it at the bottom screen would be awesome!

 

[brunocar]

Yes. I wouldn't have told you to do so if not

well, i got SRloader to work, that said, booting GBArunner2 from it just gives me a blank screen, i've waited for like a whole minute and nothing has happened :/

It should work so if you could tell me if there is a message on the bottom screen when running gbarunner, then that would help. Did you use the latest gbarunner2 version? Check gbatemp's gbarunner2 wiki to find it.

i already told you there is nothing on both screens, pure white, the TEST message was only when i wasnt using the SRloader, i used the GBArunner2 version that came with SRloader

I see. So in other words you didn't replace/update the gbarunner that came with srloader? If so I strongly recommend you to since if I'm not mistaken improvements were made in the compatibility with srloader in some later builds.
If you already didnt know, you can find builds here:

@Zense It could also just be an issue with the dldi of that particular card.

But wouldn't running it through the special option in srloader neglect that possibility?

not really, what that would do is make it dependant of NDS-bootstrap, which itself is still dependant on the card

No, because the dldi driver should still be the one of the flashcard. Otherwise you can't read sd.

just so you know im using an R4i gold 3DS RTS straight from nds-card.com, so its not like im using an obscure card or something

nds-bootstrap does not run on flashcarts, and is not used if booting from a flashcart.

then SRloader is kinda pointless for this isnt it

It's intended to be a better GUI for flashcart users, but I don't see why it'd change GBARunner2's boot process.

it really is just an .NDS homebrew that autoboots
but i guess you are right, still, while nothing on screen is different from "test", its still no working, i tried multiple recent builds and all give me the same results

EDIT: just out of curiosity i swaped my US DSi for my CFWed n3DSXL, same results
