Homebrew GBARunner2

[RocketRobz]

Hello gbatemp community! Recently i've installed TwilightMenu++ on my o2ds and had so much fun emulating all of my favorite oldies.
But i've stumbled upon a problem - i don't know how to Install the Gbarunner2 (gyroscope branch) on my console. When i tried installing, it had an error saying "Error Bios not found!" Should i delete / replace the one that comes from the Twilightmenu?

No. The GBA BIOS needs to be placed in "sd:/_gba/", and named "bios.bin".

Thank you so much for the information! The gyroscope function works now I play WarioWare Twisted! God bless the gbatemp community!

Any update or tips on getting Pokemon Expert Emerald to work?

I am using the DSL enhanced version of the rom3M branch (ARM7 / ARM9) but in both cases the game crashes when choosing the starter pokemon.

You'll have to wait for a fix.

Hi guys, I'm seeing that Street Fighter Alpha 3 in the Gbarunner Compatibility List is fully playable but mine is just stuck in the Licensed by Nintendo screen. Is there any way I can fix this?

Use GBA bios. Put the "bios.bin" file in the root of the SD

Thank you sir! It works. And also now I have a gba startup screen which is so cool. Can I also install bios for Gameboy and Gameboy Color to have a startup screen like the Gba one?

Yes, you can, provided you have a way to run GB(C) games.

I'm kinda dumb so I haven't figured out how to get a startup splash screen for GB and GBC. I put both gb_bios.bin and gbc_bios.bin to the root of my SD card with gameyob.ini. Can anyone kindly help?

This is my gameyob config file for use, but you can only choose one bios. GB or GBC bios. (There is no bios file, you need to find it)
after loading a GB/GBC game you can access the settings by touching the touch screen, select bios and save settings or Or put the bios as it is already configured "biosfile=sd:/data/GBC/gbc_bios.bin"

*To edit the configuration file just click with the right mouse button and use the "edit" option
**Using the GBC bios allows you to use the Gameboy color palettes

I got the startup screen now. Thank you so much. So I can only use 1 bios file and only some games will show the startup (mine is Super Mario Land) all GB and GBC games are showing the startup screen now (I forgot to switch GBC bios on in GB mode settings)

Lol this may already have been answered but gbarunner simply does not load for me. I click on it and a white screen happens. Was there anything stupid i missed that could have done this? EDIT: i was using a dsl, i dont know if that would mess that up

Try using the arm7 build, if the arm9 one didn't work.

Can anyone remember what you have to do to build the DSP branch? I can't for the life of me figure it out. (i'm therealteamplayer on github, my old account on here was wopnoenoe)

the problem i'm having is to do with the teak files (e.g. clang.exe...). when i try to run the makefile I get an 'Error 53' - idk if this would have been caused by me updating to windows 11? it's been a long time since i compiled my weird haphazardly thrown together build.

i say this because i had an idea to fix the stereo 'desync', or 'pseudostereo' issue (it's been given many names) - i reckon the problem is that the two audio channels (left and right) slip out of sync. in dsp\src\gbaAudio.c, the channels are processed one after another. from my very limited understanding of how the code works, in order to fix the desync issues these two channels need to be run in lockstep (i.e. any delay etc that happens to the left channel must also happen to the right etc.)

Well sorry im responding late but i was using the arm7 but your response made me re try the arm9 one and it loaded. But now whenever i try to load a gba rom it just cuts to a black screen, which sometimes has a small glitchy blurb in the middle. And the only rom that will kind of work is mario kart up until it goes to character selection in which it freezes. Any Recommendations here?
