Okay, bug reporting time.
On the homebrew Super Mario: The Last GBA Quest, everything looks normal until you start a level, upon which the game is playable, but the screen is filled with garbage data, making playing the game a bit frustrating.
Tested with:
HyperSpeedup (Every variation has the same result)
V.40
Works perfectly with HWSpeedup

Another bug:
Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga will not start with HyperSpeedup v40.

This bugs are known.

Hey ichichfly, not trying to pressure you into getting it done faster but how close do you think you are to releasing the next update? I have a few more games to test and add to the compatibility list but if you are close to releasing the next update I will wait so that I can test with the latest revision.

Anyway, hopefully you will respond.

I don't think I will release a new Version in the next 2 Weeks as I don't think I have time

aww i found out the german debug version ONLY boots with 128k flash save type. but the problem is that it wont save (even clicking save save on the ab lr menu) as it says the internal battery has run dry and then it says save file has been deleted.... or sometimes it does save but then goes to this weird screen saying the backup memory is damaged and then reboots with still no save file. could you please fix that ichfly. Oh could you fix firered a bit more? it appears to not boot after apply ips patches to it (it boots with the shiny gold patch but then freezes however any other boot to a white screen. only the unpatched rom works)

I have not expeced that a debug Version work (why is it working). I don't have the debug Version so I can't fix that.
Are you using my patcher or an other what is the max pc of the patches ?

We're not getting enough info.
As for Red, Oak, and Green, their intro sprites do that, the bug is known.

For your black screen problem:
Which variation of the emulator are you using?
Which version of the emulator are you using?

As for me, it works with Hyperspeedup AdvIRQ v40 without the black screen at the intro.

If it still won't work, here's a fix:
Play the game in a GBA emulator on your PC, and save after the intro. Rename the .sav file the emulator spits out to *romname*.GBA.sav.
That should work, as long as the save type your emulator used was 128k.

I'd link you to it but it'd cause a few problems, so just Google "German Pokemon Ruby Debug". You should be able to find it quite easily.

they are rom hack patches (.ips) from whackahack.com and I use lunar ips to patch them. it should have worked fine since i have pokemon ruby destiny and naranja (i patched a (e) rom) and they work fine on gbaemu4ds. I did patch a (e) pokemon firered rom. am i meant to patch a (u) rom?

 

[Kaoid]

its ok the ruby debug version appears to save now however, to save, you need to save in game, press save save, then continue then save in game again then press save save. it appears to lose the save data if you only save once so do it twice. if anyone else cant save, try looking around the debug menu

Did you completely play through the intro in VisualBoy Advance or another emulator for a computer and save at Red's house or after you got your starter Pokemon or something?

IF YOU DID: (Critical Step!!!!!!

)
Once you start GBAemu, select that *romname*.GBA.sav file first, press "USE AS SAVE", and then select your ROM. That way, it will use your save file in-game.
And to save in game, select 128K as the save type. Save through the START menu, press L+R+A+B, and on the bottom screen, press "save save". The emulator will briefly freeze while saving. I would recommend pressing it twice or thrice. After that, press "Continue", and continue searching for that rare Pikachu in the Viridian Forest.

Pokemon Leaf Green and hacks of FR/LG should work the same way.
I've never encountered the black screen. Strange.

MAKE SURE YOU'RE USING HYPERSPEEDUP V.40 ADVIRQ.

HAVE FUN.

 

[LuxXx25]

Yeah its working now

 

[LuxXx25]

Pokemon Sapphire (E) works completely fine on hyperspeedup v40 adv irq, just to confirm

 

[LuxXx25]

Also is there a way do make the screen smaller/larger since Im on a 3ds and it looks really weird

not exactly but you can use the origianl resolution button combination (start+select?) while booting your flashcart in your 3ds

.

 

[jerbear64]

Yeah its working now

Glad to hear. Just remember to select the save file and then the rom every time you start GBAEmu.

Yeah I also sort of got this problem, too. But it's not on a 3DS. It's extended by around 8-15 pixels starting at the bottom right corner.

That seems to be the emulator. It emulates the ROM without making a border. Therefore, the rest of the ROM can be shown on the DS screen. It looks good in Pokemon overworlds (except on the right of the screen), but can get annoying in other games.

ive also noticed the frameskip option only seems to affect sprites. ie in pokemon i put 60/11 frameskipt (default) the sprites are affected by the frameskip but everything else still runs at 60fps.

Got that too. It also affects EXP. and HP bars in Pokemon (tested with Fire Red). It makes things look like Red or whoever is skating in the middle of a forest.

yeah thats why i always have it on 60/1 fps instead. everthing works properly (hp bars bars etc move smoothy)

Same here, but when showing my friends I put the frameskip to 60/11 for the hilarity of it.
