Homebrew GBArunner: Sonic Advance and Sonic Advance 2 issues

[EDboyDSi19]

I load both games just fine with GBArunner. Afterwards, after the Gameboy Advance logo, I came across this weird 4 rectangle borders slowly closing up the screen with a music playing. Can't proceed or do anything. Not even resetting works. But Sonic Advance 3 works fine. Is there something I need to do?

Any chance of a video? I've never seen nor heard of this before.
Bad roms maybe?

Some would say the issues are that you are playing Sonic Advance. Bust out a nice megadrive/genesis emulator and play something fun.

That said what version of GBArunner are you using and what hardware are you trying it on? For some things it is more of a proof of concept than a thing to use for fun.

I am not aware of these games doing anything on the anti piracy/counter emulator/counter flash cart front so anything there if it is a good ROM is an emulation issue (or possibly user failure but if you get other things going then probably not that).

Going to provide a video soon. I am using GBARunner2 from my DSi, using Twilight Menu ++.

Ok, I don't have a video, but I took some screenshots of how they look when loaded with GBARunner2 on my DSI with Twilight Menu ++, after the logo, this shows for Sonic Advance: https://imgur.com/3Y4s9f8 https://imgur.com/fqsrPT4 I hope these helps.

Doesn't the compatibility list say you have to patch them? I thought it was related to them checking for link cable capability.

 

[EDboyDSi19]

Can you show me the compatibility so I can see? I'm not fully aware of it if it needs patching.

Hmmm, I see now, looks like Sonic Advance is unplayable, same to SA2. Bummer.

This is down to GBARunner2 not supporting link cable emulation correctly. Both of these games are link compatible.

There is a build somewhere that emulates link cable with wifi and can run the games correctly, but that has not been rolled into the main branches.

Guess I'll wait and see what happens.

Glad we atleast found what the problem was.

Sorry for late reply but this is actually a copyright thing, if you start the game on an emulator on a pc without the bios you'll come across this too.

Excuse me, could someone tell me how to install the sonic advance patches 1 and 2 that I don't know where to locate them?

They're in the GBARunner2 DSi/3DS Compatibility List, which should be linked in the first post of GBARunner2.

I mean that I already downloaded the patches for sonic advance 1 and 2 from the GBrunner compatibility list but I don't know where exactly to locate the patches on the micro sd to play on DSi with Twilight menu

Just patch your existing ROMs on the SD card, and then launch the patched ROMs.

The links for the patch is no longer working, it says “this content is no longer available” with a black screen.
