Homebrew GBARunner2

[zfreeman]

I notice like maybe a 30-45 sec load time mostly. It's only for games that you haven't played before. Afterward, it loads really fast to where you probably won't notice.

I'm not able to replicate the issue on DSi or Lite. Try downloading the builds again and compare the checksums; your initial download might have been borked.

I clicked here for a GBA port of BIT.TRIP RUNNER2.


I got redundancy.

There are some gba games like harmony of dissonance refused to save even if you did save.

Aero the Acro-Bat - Rascal Rival Revenge [E] & Aladdin [E] no longer boot with the latest arm9 build.
Both boot in the commit 6522414 (2018/11/01) arm9 build.
I will update this post, should there be more games that no longer work.

Could that be related to the save patches? They do have the same save type (EEPROM_V122). You could test if that's the case by sram patching and then use a hex editor to change that EEPROM_V122 into something undetectable. EEPROM_VXYZ for example

I found a regress:
Castlevania Aria of Sorrow now has the saving option broken.

ARM7 build : Refuses to save/load
ARM9 build : Saves but hard resets the game and trying to save again will crash GBARunner2

this also applies to the wramicache builds

That's very strange. It uses Sram_F_v102 which needs no patches at all. I'm gonna check it out later.

I tried Dokapon(SRAM_F_V102), Sims Bustin Out(EEPROM_V124), The Urbz Sims In the City(FLASH512_V131), Advance Wars(FLASH_V121), Harry Potter 3(EEPROM_V124) and the gen 1 remake pokemon games(only boots when sram patched) and they ran fine until crashing randomly at some point and only the sram patched firered and leafegreen kept their saves after rebooting.
All tested on a DSi with the ARM7_DLDI build.

Where can I get the Bios.bios for the GBArunner2

Where can I get the Bios.bios for the GBArunner2

It's bios.bin, and, we can't tell you. You have to find/get it yourself.

a860e8c0b6d573d191e4ec7db1b1e4f6 is the MD5 hash.
81977335 is the CRC32 hash.
Google that and you'll find your bios.bin file.

It's not bios.bin anymore?

 

[GrimJr]

What do you mean there no bios.bin anymore

I can't find it anywhere can someone help me?

 

[Deleted User]

Again, asking for the bios file is forbidden. You will have to look yourself.

 

[GrimJr]

Ok

 

[zfreeman]

Sorry, it is 'bios.bin'. That's just the naming convention I use to differentiate from other bios.bin files.

Hello.

I can confirm.The Save do not work on TWiLight´s GBARunner with wramchache on/off.It saves (without that typical crackling sound !!).After restart (with that crackling sound on the first splash screen) there is no save game.But a 32KB Save file is there.
The Save also do not work on my Flashcart with all 4 arm versions.The same issue.
A Save File with 32KB is also there.
Game do not need an SRAM Patch.

Thank you.

I think I found the issue. I forgot to update the sram save address when I expanded the region to 128kb. I'll fix it soon.

Nice! I will continue testing when the next build has been released then.
