This is definitely not the problem of the games. Must be something with your setup.

Put all files where it's need to be, BIOS i used also good (correct MD5), one game actually can launch - Pokemon Emerald, but i didn't test it now, because this freeze with FE and Zelda kinda worried me.

Well, gonna tried to format my SD with other cluster size (now 4kb), and see, does it change something

@Backspace696 : do you try with builds compiled by Gericom, or own self compiled builds ?
Click to expand...
Right now i can't compiled build by myself, so i used last build compiled by Gericom

UPD: before i said wrong about claster size on my sd card (it appears to be 8kb instead of 4kb), so i format my sd card in 4kb cluster size and... it doesn't help. Moreover, Pokemon Emerald now can't launch too, with same problem, as i mentioned with FE and Zelda.

I don't think that is a my problem with setup, because i did everything as it says there: https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/GBARunner2

Any ideas?

Right now, it looks like this:


trying to change cluster size again can't do anything, it still hangs right after gameboy logo with "OK 3DS" on the bottom screen

Did you fix that error or do you need help?

No, Sonic Advance and Sonic Advance 2 appearently check if the link hardware is working, which is not implemented yet.
Click to expand...
It isn't exactly checking for link hardware, but if it's what I'm thinking of: You're seeing a broken version of the multiplayer screen. Older versions of VisualBoy Advance (0.73? I can't find it anymore...) had the same issue unless you used the GBA BIOS. This was fixed in 0.80 by initializing some register correctly if the BIOS wasn't used.

tl;dr some register needs to be set, but I don't know which one offhand.

EDIT: Does it look like this?

Yes, it looks like that. I have to implement the link registers. Currently writes are ignored, so the values the bios probably writes do not persist.
 
Huh, that's interesting. I also checked VBA-M's git history, and they had some commits related to link cable registers for Sonic Advance 1 and 2 as well. I always wondered what caused this issue. (I'm guessing it uses the link registers to determine if it's in multi-player mode as some sort of optimization.)

Hmm, interesting. I might try to implement the registers tomorrow or something and see if it fixes it.

@Dodain47 Good to hear that lots of games boot at least. Most problems seem to be sound and/or speed. When the speed is slow, sound will be bad too of course.
