I use mGBA but it's so temperamental, always get 'Load Failed' or white screen loading. Any better ones out there?

Tried 2 different mario games, redownloading it again makes it work for a few tries. I can't use PSP gba emu's. I cannot setup that due to not having a PSP game to install VHBL. No console to transfer either :( or is there any other way? I am new to this, only had my vita 5 days :)

For now, gpSP running under Adrenaline is (unfortunately)best for GBA emulation. Hopefully soon with GPU access unlocked we will see native Vita emulators(mGBA or RetroArch cores) run GBA at full speed.

What specifically is wrong with mGBA? It is the fastest emulator on the Vita by far, and I have had no issues getting any ROMs to load. Do you use the BIOS or not?

Megaman Zero games slow down very hard, even on mGBA.

Like someone already said, GPSP Kai running on adrenaline or ARK which ever you can use.

If you have psvita firmware 3.60, use adrenaline installer. You need henkaku for it. If you have anything above it (Like 3.63) Then use ARK, you need a pc program to install ARK Homebrew loader to use. Either way, i prefer you use that one since it works well and is already a well developed emulator compared to the recent vita ones. :)

    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
