Homebrew [3DS] mGBA Alpha 1v Released

[Vague Rant]

I'd say a compatibility list should be held off at least until the current crash bug is fixed. As is, it would just be a sea of yellow "runs but crashes" with a rare "doesn't run" thrown in for good measure. Until at least one game could be considered to run well it seems like duplication of effort since the biggest problem at the moment is a universal one.

The emulator is like crash bandicoot without the bandicoot

That's below Development downloads, and is the one built from the latest source. The "official" 3DS version is still alpha 1: https://mgba.io/2015/08/30/mgba-for-3ds-wii-vita/

ah okey...
i was confused

 

[Kikirini]

Well, I definitely can't wait for the next alpha. I am very excited for this emulator.
I REALLY hope that, eventually, it makes it to CIA form.

Why not use the ambassador program gba emulator?

Why not use the ambassador program gba emulator?

Because there are only 10 of them, and anyone on 9.3 or above can't inject their own games.

for old 3ds 9.9 users, (excuse me for REALLY bad english)

until the new build of mgba comes out, i recommend to use Retroarch gpsp 3ds
because that one is better (for now) but you have to disable audio and vsync
you can find audio under:
settings - audio settings

and you can find vsync under:
settings - video settings

you have to turn both of them off, if you do not, your whole 3ds crashes

here is the link to the forum of retroarch

THIS EMU IS NOT VERY MUCH BETTER THAN MGBA, IT IS STILL W.I.P.

You actually like gPSP over mGBA. I do not and I do not mind the crashing. I just use savestates and reboot every time after crash. Most of the time it only crashes after 20-25 min. And I think mGBA is faster than gPSP. I tried them both and I prefer mGBA on my O3DS

do you mean mgba or retroarch

mGBA only crashes most of the time after 20-25 mins (gPSP = Reroarch)

Lucky you for me it crashes every few minutes the longest I have went without a crash was 4 mins

Try using the latest nightly. I am on the latest nightly. Maybe that's the reason.

 

[AmandaRose]

I am on the latest nightly unfortunately

and not the alpha from

[SLiV3R]

Even though I have 60 gba games injected I'm very interested in this project. Good luck with the stability and speed

And here is a little observation I made

After starting mGBA it crashes after 2-5 for first 1-2 times then runs for 20-25 mins before crashing during the 3rd or 4th time. I don't know why.

Yes I defo have the latest nightly build and I have tried loads of games all with the same result every game crashes after 1 or 2 mins no matter how many times I try them Metroid Fusion did once get four mins in as I previously stated and if it helps anyone I am using a euro 3ds 9.9 with tubehax obviously lol

 

[doctorgoat]

Why not use the ambassador program gba emulator?

No fast forward. No savestates. Bleh.

 

[NCorp.]

Anyone want multiple savestates. The latest nightly has multiple savestates(working) and transparent menu.

Is there a way to disable audio in mGBA? It runs slower than retroarch, and retroarch needs audio turned off. I'm using O3DS.
