Homebrew GBARunner2

Does other homebrew work? Maybe you need a different Firmware/kernel?

 

[Gericom]

I'm confused on how to compile this, haven't compiled anything from github before, I installed devkitpro and whenever I clicked on "runbash.bat" I get an error saying "Windows cann't find 'C:\WINDOWS\Sysnative\bash.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.". When I used an already compile file from the gbatemp wiki I get a red screen saying "loadn to library" on the bottom screen, could it be the bios file I'm using? Thanks for taking the time to read in advance

You should not run that bat file. Just run make

What am I supposed to run it with

I have other homebrew working like snemulds, gameyob, lameboy. Only one having issues is gbarunner2. The kernal that I use is v1.84b from the r4i sdhc site

Shoutout to Dodain47 for the help, I have this figured out now

So I've compiled it correctly but I'm still getting a red screen, the directories to gbarunner is E:\Homebrew and my gba games with my bios.bin is E:\GBA, md5 of the bios.bin is A860E8C0B6D573D191E4EC7DB1B1E4F6

You could try a different firmware for your card. I have this one for my card as well. The r4i sdhc should be supported.
Make a back up of your previous kernel/firmware just incase. Then delete the old kernel/firmware, copy and paste the new one and see if gbarunner2 does work.

Loaded the kernal from that link with GBARunner2 and now the game does in fact load but it gets stuck on a black screen before the intro can play

Mario Kart Super Circuit and Super Mario Advance 2 - Super Mario World are games that should work. Test them with an emulator first, to see if they have a romintro attached. Those Intro are not supported yet. You can remove them with a tool called gbata.

Both are working on my PC with VBA-M 2.0.1, didn't work on DS though :\

Do they have an Intro?

 

[KyleWest]

They did, I removed the intro for Mario Kart but it still black screened

Okay. Check if your sd card is fat32 formatted and try the build i attached below. Thats an ARM7 build.

Hey it's working now, what's the difference between that arm 7 build and the arm 9 build?

The difference is the processor I run the dldi (sd access code specific to your flashcard) on. Since the gba game runs on arm9 the environment is a bit weird and it seems to clash with some cards. The solution is to run it on arm7 then. In the past there was a speed difference too, but I'm not sure if that's still a thing. I cannot really measure it properly.

No, saving doesn't work. You'll just have to keep waiting.

Thanks for pointing that out @Gericom. @KyleWest seems your Flashcard works with ARM7 builds then. There were reports that some cards don´t work with ARM9 builds.

 

[KyleWest]

That's a shame, I appreciate all the help and patience @Dodain47.

@Gericom Do you plan on converting this to dsiware for dsi cfw once it becomes more mainstream?

Update: I looked through the previous post on here and found an arm9 build that's working on my dsi from this post here https://gbatemp.net/threads/gbarunner2.451970/page-32#post-7452865
it says it's arm 9, but the size of the file is smaller than the previous arm9 build I was trying to use and is equal to all the arm7 builds I've found, is this really an arm9 build?

Maybe. I would first have to get stuff properly working with the latest version of devkitpro.

Seeing as the 2 zip files are different in size, it must most likely be an arm9 and arm7 build. Could you see if the arm7 version doesn't work for you? Maybe they are swapped out or so?
