Hmm I'm trying no$gba and it always says FATAL the rom-image has crashed.

So i read that i need the bios, so i got the bios, arm7 and 9 bios as well and i just put them in the root folder.

Same thing. Even when i don't autostart, it gives me fatal error.

I tried meteos, phoenix wright, ouendan and whatever.

Same issue here. I just keep around the Metroid demo, Phoenix Wright since i Never can find it, and Jump Superstars since it isn't or any handheld game worth $50 to me.

All three tank with the same message. The notes from the release say this:
Things that work only with real NDS-BIOS-image
The "decompression-with-callback" BIOS functions are currently working only
if you do have a copy of the real BIOSes as ROM-images (see Installation
and DS Xboo chapters).

But where is that because perhaps the BIOS images are named wrong, in the wrong place, or something else.

My results...

Commercial NDS ROMs: grey-ish screen, then sooner or later the error message "The ROM image has crashed."

DS Download Demos: several are starting, at least. Jump Super Stars' demo is partially playable (see attachment), Meteos as well, others do nothing or crash.

All DS ROMs, commercial and Download Demos, with ARM7 and 9 BIOS: black screens, at least for me.

from emutalk.net!

You guys do know no$gba boots up the firmware aswell as the bios' so if you dont have the firmware it wont boot, not that it actually plays many games

Yeah, I know that it do not plays many games but it is only a beginning and it is getting better every time. He is interesting in emulating NDS obviously.


Now to my question...I do have nds firmware or is it bios? See, I am confuse, lol. I cannot figure out how to boots them up. My directiry folder is:

C:\no$gbz-w then what ?

New version released, i decided to test it.
All the 2d homebrew i tried worked, anything with 3d crashes.
My draw app crashes when trying to write to SRAM.
fatlib still NOT supported

Here's what I did:

I think these only work on GBAMP: (linking here for reference)
bios dumper http://pepsiman.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/bios_dumper.nds
firmware dumper http://darkfader.net/ds/files/fwdumper.nds

0. all files go in same dir as no$gba.exe
1. name arm9 bios as BIOSNDS9.ROM
2. name arm7 bios as BIOSNDS7.ROM
3. name firmware dump as FIRMWARE.BIN
4. commercial nds files must have encrypted secure areas ('ndstool -i game.nds' to check, 'ndstool -se game.nds' to encrypt)

it's not completely
got weird title screen in electroplankton:
elec.png


after clicking 'audience' screen fades to black and hangs

yoshi's island playable:

tetris, new smb, mario kart, all don't work for me.

of course, some problems may be due to the fact i'm running in vmware (there's no linux version of no$gba).

I did what you told me. My DOS said "NDS filename is already given!"

And still crashed on this emu. I do not understand. O.o

I have just the BIOSGBA, BIOSNDS7 and BIOSNDS9.ROM files that's all. I had no idea there was a FIRMWARE.BIN whatever at all. This could explain why it's been crapping out as it would make much sense. Emutalk.net though I saw was having someone claim you need to have non-clean, originally encrypted roms to work to get the commercial crud going.

Any truth to that? I'd ask for the firmware file but I'm not in a mood for a ban today so I'll go hunting.


...EDIT...
Ok now I see what's going on and I got stuff to load...a nice start, and even as old as my machine is (P4 1.5ghz) stuff runs I guess ok, nicer than the others out there for sure as it's not like 5fps or something as hideous, and also the metroid prime demo displays all the 2D stuff proper.

The GBA part has audio, the DS does not.

I've tested 4 things I have.

Jump seems to work, not sure how far as I haven't bothered to try and read my way through the menus.

Metroid Prime DEMO works until you hit the 3D part, tanks. 2D though is fully functional, can read ALL menus, even the flashy effect on the panel from dragging the stylus works!

Phoenix Wright appears to work fine.

Game and Watch... won't run, comes up with a b&w box complaining about something with the game card (probably a lockout like the NES games on GBA.)

  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.

    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
