Gba Software News (5)

Nice, gezz i cant belive it cost moeny for GBA tools, and a emu wtf???

 

good news, but i cant get what VGBA is... is it a gba emulator??

about the gbarms, thanks a lot costello!!!! keep up the good work

 

it might just be me but i dont think we should advertise marat's vgba emu because paying for a emulator is wrong!

nice work though costello

 

You cant get the demo here is a quote of why u cant get it

 

wooops, i answered myself... it is an emulator... but what is it's "magic" that makes it expensive???

 

hmmm we have to pay for those emulators?!?! hm those guys must be pretty convinced that they have a very decent emulator otherwise they wouldnt ask money for it... might try it
anywayz, im looking forward to the release of OfflineList 0.7
last time i screwed up with that program, lets give it another chance

*pls visit my "Retro Temple" forum*thnx

~genix out

 

i have tried a slightly older version of vgba and visualboy advance is loads better!!

 

Where will we be able to get GBArms plugins in the future? Your site, Costello?

 

By wat djgarf say so buy it

 

i meant that the free emu vba is loads better goodkupo!!
i would not want to see ANYBODY waste their money on a emu that is nowhere near as good as a freeware emu
i would rather see people donate money to forgotten (the author of vba) than see marat (the author of vgba) get it!

 

I'm confused.. which one is better now GBArms or Offlinelist ? I have used GBArms

 

GBArms will be "offline list compatible" in version 2.3, so you can have nice GBArms interface and features with Offline List "clean" rom CRC dat... Best features of both programs...

 

VBA is the best emu ever and the author is great person to hand it out to people like us for free. This is not right, 35 dollars ?! Thats wrong. I would rather to buy real GBA instead of this emu for 35 dollars! This author is ridiculous. I am refusing to dl it. Nice try, author but no thanks. VBA rules and its best!

Beep! I am out! *poof*

 

I hate how Marat Fayzullin and Martin Korth both decided that they would make people pay for their emulators, as if someone owed them anything... VGB wasn't anything special, but on the other hand No$GMB was the best emulator in the world, I mean you could debug assembly code with it AS THE GAME WAS RUNNING! -- Great, but still not a reason to pay for it, it should even be illegal to sell emulators...

Anyhow... HAM is something that is worth paying for. Even though most experienced GBA programmers can make their own HAM easily, it's a very (very very) good tool for programmers of any level, and the VHAM IDE that goes with it is brilliant. HURRAY FOR HAM!

 

Costello, do you intend to update the gba unicoders site? You still can't get GBArms from there.

 

"on the other hand No$GMB was the best emulator in the world, I mean you could debug assembly code with it AS THE GAME WAS RUNNING!"

And that's exactly why the author decided to sell it. It might be too expensive for the home user, but for a (smaller) company it is probably a very good dev tool and a lot cheaper than the offical dev kits (I don't know how much they are, though).

I don't get it why so many people are lamenting about those emus being sold - if you don't want to pay for them, don't use them and play on VBA. This way, everybody is happy.

 

glad some of my ideas where introduced in this new release like the button to play in upper corner (better button needed)


some issues still here tough....

1 TO DO - It doesn't remember windows diomension, everytime starts windowed not full screen as needed

2 TO DO - Well done for the different tabs for different things (boxart, nfo,.. etc) but there should be a main one with all the info in one to have a complete view on the rom, there is space so why don't put it

3- TO DO - Downloding images should be set also in the way that puts each image in different folder (gbafront style), i mean there might be two ways of downloading, one like now (if someone likes it) and one that puts each image in the right folder (box/snap/title) with just the number as name and not with t s or x at the end; I think this way is better and more ordinate.

4 - DONE (better button needed in my opinion) - Clicking on the name of the rom on the top of the tabs or a button on the right side (opposite of flag) with the Play function could be useful


5 - TO DO - Resource downloader scroll bar in the downloading tab should go down as new files are downloaded and not be stuck where you leave it (as in the logs of burning progs for example where it comes down as new things appens or in mirc).

 

There are some nice selection of programmes here. Nice job Costello!
