Homebrew GBARunner2

[Zense]

Hello.

Unfortunately I have maybe an Issue.
In todays TWiLight Release 14.2.0 (Commit date 21-04-2020 / Hash 088cbc59bd8931a0814d00ad92e5c759921f9cd)
the Super Mario (Advance) Games stays on the Rom Browser:

View attachment 205926 View attachment 205927 View attachment 205928 View attachment 205929 View attachment 205930 View attachment 205931 View attachment 205932

I have tried:

Setting changed ARM7 and 9/disabled wram i-cache/DS main memory i-cache.
I have used an DSi.

Can someone please be so kind and confirm/to not confirm this please ?

Thank you.

Interesting. I did not try this one on latest, but I tried super Mario Advace 2 which worked well. I'll have a look at it.

Update:

I have "organized" new Roms and all works perfect.
Excuse me please,I do not want to make some "uneasiness".

It seems GBARunner do (no longer ?) not like the EZ Flash IV Roms.
Maybe because they are "patched" ? I used the EZ4 Client for the Roms to transfer it from the PC to the EZ Flash IV.

Thank you.

So if I got you right you were using a patched rom for the EZ Flash IV andwhen you tried an unpatched rom it now worked?

So if I got you right you were using a patched rom for the EZ Flash IV (which most likely has to do with saving) and when you tried an unpatched rom it now worked?

Yes,correct.

I solved the mystery of the bios not being recognized - it was named gba_bios and not simply bios. It works!

Is there a way how to soft reset or RTS the games? It's not a part of the emulator, right? The games I've tried so far work great on the latest menu!

RTS? Gbarunner2 has a menu you can access by touching the touch screen (make sure to have DS mode and not DSi mode in twilightmenu++ settings!). There you can select reset with the dpad. Many gba games also let you softreset by pressing a+b+start+select.

Really? That's so cool! I'm playing via Ysmenu on a NDSL, so I'll try it out later. Thanks!

So when you try to run the gbarunner .nds you only get a white screen or is it when you try to run a game?

There's this bug that after Mario drinks from the Fountain in Hoohoo Village, the interactables graphics glitches. Tested with Luigi, nothing happens to the interactables.

Just tested this on a 3DS and I don't get this issue at all no matter the settings. I'll have to see if playing on a DSi changes anything.

EDIT: Just checked with a DSi and it doesn't happen there either. Are you on the latest version?

Yes, both system, TWiLight Menu++, HiyaCFW, and Unlaunch (the GBArunner2 is like an extension or something like that comes with the hack)

I see. Then I would ask you to try to download the more recent gbarunner2 build with dsi at the end of the filename and transfer and replace the old one found in _nds on your SD card. Make sure to have both DS main memory i-cache and wram i-cache disabled. Is your rom clean or has any romhacks/patches been applied to it?

[FriskyAl0310]

It's just the clean version of the rom

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

So I have to get the DSi version since I have DSi?
