Homebrew Emulation GameYob, a gameboy emulator for DS

[Lavos2013]

doubt thats the issue as its the same cheat file on both, and codes/formatting is correct, ive tried to make sure i covered all the bases for checking for inconsistencies as i know thats an easy way to create a problem, literally just copy/pasted the cheat file from my Supercard to my PC then to my Acekard, it still works on the Supercard fine

what i did to make the cheat file, and it worked fine on SUpercard DSTwo at least, was i took an existing BGB cheat file for Pokemon Blue Version and edited the codes/filename to fit the Yellow rom then saved it, and i assume if it works on my DSTwo then its probably not an issue with the cheat file itself, i dont know if its some problem with the interaction with my Acekard but if it is im kinda boned cus the game wont save at all on my DSTwo, so kinda useless playing it on that if i cant save it or use Save States, and cant 100% complete the game without cheats, so i might be in whats called a catch-22 or however its spelled, hope im not but not really holdin out hope

that said, Gameyob is a very nice emulator, runs everything ive played sans Yellow just fine, i havent tried Red/Blue or Gold/Silver/Crystal however

there is one more thing i suppose i can try, but chances are it wont change anything, but may aswell try, itll likely take 20 min or so, but ill get back to you on that

ok sorry for all the trouble, got it fixed, apparently formatting the SD Card did ACTUALLY work this time, usually doesnt make a difference in my experiences doing it several past times, but i did forget to backup my save, but had just barely started so its fine

again, sorry for the trouble!

I am getting a corrupt save in Dragon warrior monsters 2(both versions) while autosaving is turned on.When I turn it of my save stops corupting,any fix for this?
I am using latest version of gameyob on my r4ds

really liking the new border chosing options. the colorization of the game name to indicate a savefile existing is also cool.
wendy-every witch way still stutters whenever you collect a star (it plays a little Yeah! soundbyte thats like the pikachu cry in pokemon yellow which might be the cause)
but the game continues beyond the level where it formally just got stuck ^^
this has easily surpassed lameboy now and I hope it will continue to do so.

personally, I'm just wishing that one day ingame cheatcode support is added.
like, I remember when i was a kid, we had this xploder gb thing that was pretty much an action replay (it might have just been the german name for action replay...) and it had that button on the cheat device and when you pressed it, it showed you the cheat databank where you could select what codes to activate, add or remove codes and use a scan function to make your own codes
it pretty much just checked for values staying identical and values changing so you could play like street fighter, start a battle, do the inital scan, get hit ingame, scan again and repeat that until you figured out what value was responsible for the health bar... that was so cool
(i know gameyob already has some kind of cheat support that I've not really figured out so far though... in case it can already do such things, disregard it)

Why is the screen unscaled when the menu is entered?

 

[Clydefrosch]

I think that has something to do with how he scales the top screen. if its scaled, bottom screen is turned off because he uses whatever component would usually render the bottom screen to help calculate the scaling for the other screen. so when you activate bottom screen, that scaling process stops, giving you unscaled top screen

 

[Drenn]

^ That's pretty accurate. The gameboy is rendered on the (invisible) bottom screen, a screenshot is taken, and it's scaled on the top screen.

Sorry, I can't duplicate this, so I don't know how to fix it...

A cheat-making system in gameyob would be needless, since pc-based emulators already do it so well. bgb is my favorite.

try saving with atosaving turned ON then turn off the ds and try to reload the game,when I do it my save gets corrupted.

well i guess theres some truth to that. the general idea is that you wouldn't need a pc and also wouldnt need to stop the game, move around sd cards and card readers everytime you want to add a new code.
but it would already be plenty if there was a way to manipulate the code file from inside gameyob to enter new codes on the fly.
maybe for when you run out of things to improve ^^

I found strange bug on last stable build of gameyob with Alone in the Dark - the game goes to gameover screen on the firs battle. On another emulators this rom works fine.

Since you've implemented a background browsing menu, would you also be able to implement one for picking the Quit To Launcher file? QTL only shuts down the console for me and I wish I'd be able to launch the firmware instead.

----------------------------------------------------------

The first battle with the bug things down the dirt road?
It's working fine for me, despite a slight graphic glitching.

It's probably the rom.
Try another version of it.

In fact, everyone on here should try a different rom of problem games.
I'm sure Mr. Drenn has better things to do than test / retest every single rom compatibility issue.
Just sayin' ;-)

 

[PROTOBOY]

Great emu!! Finally Final Fantasy Legend III has the music! And Fish Files with the high-color mode visualizes right!

Just a little feature and Gameyob could be even better... green/yellow palette for the GB Mono game?

(I don't think it would be too difficult)

Thanks!

I agree,that palettes like that

After taking a break from making borders I decide I'll make some more. So what kind of borders do you guys want?

Zelda would be great

Pokemon?
Touhou would be great (Scarlet mansion FTW!).
