With the newest GBARunner3 are there still graphical glithces when playing Sonic Advance 3 on DS with a flashcard?
Thank you!

Custom border support for GBArunner3 has been implemented, and Pokémon Emerald boots now in regular DS mode!

Would love to download this border if at all possible!

Here's a testing build I made which incorporates support for the official Nintendo Rumble Pak, it will be published and improved later once we free some space in vram for code, since it's currently full.

This build is the same as ac48f9d with a simple Rumble Pak driver implementation added, please take in mind that it's not finished yet, so only Nintendo's Rumble Pak will work (and maybe third party devices that are able to emulate it).

I've only tested Drill Dozer since Wario Ware Twisted needs the Gyro Sensor to be played, and the d-pad patch only works with hicode, which lacks space for the needed code currently.

Hi. I have a Nintendo DSi with an Ace3DS X flashcard (with the Ace3DS Plus firmware). My Nintendo doesn't have the Twilight Menu installed, and I wanted to know if I could play GBA Games on it, using my R4. I've tried to install the GBARunner2 in my R4, and then create the GBA folder with a gab game in it, but when I launch the GBARunner2 (that I put in the Games folder), I get an error (scfg locked). Is there a tutorial? Thank you so much!

Even though you're on a DSi, you need to use the DS build instead of the DSi build, as the DSi/3DS builds do not work in DS mode.

And how can I do that?

By downloading the DS build instead of the DSi or 3DS build. If the arm9 build doesn't work, try the arm7 one.
Where did you download GBARunner2?

 

[Gabbo0216]

github. com /Gericom /GBARunner2 /releases

for here, I downloaded the DSi one. So I have to download the DS arm 9 one, is that correct?

Yes, download GBARunner2_arm9dldi_ds.nds.

 

[Gabbo0216]

Yes, download GBARunner2_arm9dldi_ds.nds.

WOW it works flawlessly. But why the DSi one didn't work?

Because the DSi/3DS builds take advantage of the extra RAM space only available in DSi mode. Flashcards only run in DS mode, which is limited to the 4MB of RAM.

Thank you so much, now I can play to the old Mario and Pokemon games

Sorry if I bother you but I have two questions.
The first: how can I put cheats on a GBA game (if they exist and if it’s possible).
The second: can I use the method that you gave me on every type of flashcard? Thanks in advance!

1. You cannot use cheats with GBARunner.
2. Yes, you can. Keep in mind that certain flashcards may not work with the arm9 build though.

I need some help!
For some reason gbarunner2 wont save summon night swordcraft story.
But it does work with every other game.
Any Ideas how to fix this?

EDIT: disabling "wram i-cache" fixed it!
