Homebrew RELEASE VBA-next for Switch(works 4.1)

[Trunks2304]

Sadly thats more of a hekate homebrew issue then it is with the emulator. Just sit tight and wait for a newer version which will fix bugs like that.

i can use gdkgba to play all my gba roms in docked mode

It hasn't worked since initial release for me, wish it would though.

In the normal build you have to press x and then exit.

However I linked a version with auto-save here.

Thanks man! Yes i have the same problem with the sound you have fixed nice!

Were there ever any issues with that build? I recall someone stating the save states broke

@catlover007 @jakibaki would it be possible to add a cheat code method for the emulator/ cheat code engine?

All kinds of codes out there to be used.

It might be, I've had issues with replacing save files as well. FireRed won't accept a modified file with Mew edited in, but that might be the program. Doubtable, since multiple games like Mother 3 rejects it.

I remember some other users having trouble with replacing saves as well but nothing was ever confirmed.

Will there be a build that will fix this bug?

Is this also a problem on 4.1?

Don't know if this helps, but have you tried having your saves and games named "game.gba" for game and "game.sav" for the save? (Instead of "game.gba.sav").

I can tell from your screenshot the save is called Mother3.gba.sav. Fix the extension and it should be fine.

Awesome job guys! Thanks a ton!
I´m so much looking forward for the first N64 homebrews.

In case anyone is interested in playing VBA in docked mode I found a temporary solution.

It won't work if you dock the switch while a rom is running as you will get lag/sound skipping for a few sec into a crash, or an immediate crash. Instead, dock it after you sent the payload & booted into cfw, or while you're on the homebrew menu to select VBA. Then you can select VBA once it's docked and try loading up a ROM and it should work fine. It will crash the odd time on booting a ROM but it will work. If you undock /redock your switch while a ROM is running it will crash so remember to only do it before launching VBA.

edit: i'm on 5.0.1
