It looks like you no longer have to sram patch Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green. They both run well and saving works.

Edit: Same goes for Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire.

I'm surprised if anything needs SRAM patching at this point, Gericom took care of most save types a while ago.

Hey Gericom, love the work you've done on this! I just ran a few tests with some of my games and thought they might be useful for you to know. If you need more information give me a shout!

Super Mario Advance: SMB2 - No issues
Super Mario Advance 2: SMW - Fails to boot - white screen
Super Mario Advance 3: YI - Fails to boot - white screen
Super Mario Advance 4: SMB3 - Slight GFX errors during stage transition. Slightly longer load times after pipe transitions
Mario & Luigi - Timing for some music channels out of sync. Sprites flicker during intro - causes slowdown. Music corruption during Mario house segment of intro
Mario Kart - Music channels out of sync - Minor GFX error on left side on the horizon of the track - grey line of pixels. Sound corruption during save screen
Sonic Advance - Timing for music channels out of sync. Pitch of some samples incorrect. Background flickers and game slows down during end of act tally
Sonic Advance 2 - Timing for music channels out of sync. Pitch of some samples incorrect
Sonic Advance 3 - Timing for music channels out of sync. Pitch of some samples incorrect. Minor slowdown throughout. Backgrounds flicker
Sonic Battle - Timing for music channels out of sync

Weird. It booted for me, last time I tested it.

What region of the ROM are you using? Mine's the american version

Same here, though I forgot if it's SRAM patched.

Ah right. I haven't SRAM patched my copy. Surely that won't change anything though...?

Likely not, but doesn't hurt to try.

 

[TheBeefBai]

Ok I'll try it tomorrow after work and post any updates if required

btw, I have both main memory i-cache and wram i-cache enabled.

Just tried enabling those settings myself but still no luck. It loads the BIOS but then it just fades to white...

A patch for Pokemon Saiph would be nice.

Pokemon Saiph works fine on my 3DS. It requires DSi speed enabled to be playable. Minor gfx glitches during gameplay.

I was wondering if button redirection is currently possible on here yet. My B button is almost completely dead, and I wanted to be able to set it as the Y button instead.

No, not in the current build.

I really want cheat support as it's getting a bit stressful getting all the standard chips in Mega Man Battle Network 4.5. I tried doing in in an emulator but it wouldn't recognize my save so I could use the Gameshark cheat for all chips.

Any idea how cheats should work in a gbarunner2 environment? (In a technical way)
