Homebrew RELEASE VBA-next for Switch(works 4.1)

[jsan]

A quick note to report that Zelda Minish Cap runs beautifully with v0.2 (downloaded from github), sound is pretty much perfect and so are graphics. Really good work, full screen would be appreciated but to be totally honest it's great as it is. Thanks to the OP for the good work!

Love the emulator!
Some suggestions I have would be
-Configurable Buttons
-Cheats
and that's pretty much it, everything else is near flawless.

However, it appears Boktai and Boktai 2 don't show up in the game list for whatever reason?

Make sure the roms extensions are .gba and not .GBA otherwise this emulator won't detect them.

Does this port have support for RTC Overrides?

Can not be found in the menu, so probably - no.

But there should be patched versions for Boktai and such that allow you to set the clock in realtime afair.

Ran into a pretty big issue.

If I dock my switch to the TV when the emulator is open at the rom select screen everything is fine, but once i load any rom i get a system error crash a few seconds later. Also tried docking while a game is currently running and it immediately crashes the switch.

If I'm not mistaken this is due to hekate hack for loading the homebrew launcher, not to the emulator itself. Once atmosphere is upon us these glitches will go away.

If you experienced problems with the audio can you please try the build attached to this post?

This build is working flawlessly for me, thank you for your work!

It can't be that, because I was playing on my TV in fullscreen majority of the time on the previous emulator GDKgba. It didn't have this issue.

This is more likely due to a libnx bug, as fe all of cpasjustes emulators crash docked as well - i you play certain games. It has been raised as an issue about four times, and so far never been acknowledged -

I instantly had issues any time I tried dock with either emulator, but like stated above, atmosphere will fix these in due time.

How did gdkgba run successfully for every rom I tried docked?

My question for you good sir, how do you plan on bypassing the light sensor, I know there's a gameshark cheat that enables that, but this emulator doesn't support those (yet)
I'd LOVE to play through those two games on switch and finally finish them.
(Sorry if this seems off topic)

Its an issue that somehow seems to be resolution, rendering - i dont know, related. In cpasjustes ports I couldnt reproduce it with low res games, but with every "high resolution" (think 800x600 ) game I've tried. 240p games and the like where not affected. So there is some "intermediary" (frambuffer?, gpu memory, renderer) that causes it to trigger for some games/ports and not for others.

And before you say it - yes I know that GBA games are NOT high resolution, but still - such crashes (same error profile (insta crashe in game while docking, almost immediate crash on load) exist in: pfba, scummvm, eduke32, ...

This emulator works great with all the games I tried on 5.0.2 handheld, except the sound would loved to see that improved in the next update!

Did you download the update he posted? All sound issues seem to be fixed for the majority aside from being a tiny bit of pitch but no skipping or scratches, etc.

Try the build attached to this post, sound has been phenomenal for me since I started using it.

Hmm well that's over my head haha

It's not ideal but I suppose for the time being I'll have to use VBAnext while playing portable, then transfer saves to GDKgba when wanting to play on the TV.

 

[DiJornios]

I’ll update the sound status ASAP

The build does fix the audio for some games. Pokemon Fire Red is not fixed, but sm advance 3 is fixed now. Thanks.
