Homebrew GBARunner2

[Gericom]

I will start soon. About the games that Whitescreen after the BIOS Intro. Are you going to fill in the reason for the crash?

Yeah, when I look at games I can often identify a reason as to why they don't work. For example because they have code above the first 2MB. I will then fill it in there so that I have a clear overview of which game has which problems.

Is it possible to test games using PC emulator?
Couldn't run the NDS file using desmume on Linux. Would be good to test, don't know if it's a reliable test.

There's no single emulator that can run gbarunner2 sadly. They don't emulate memory protection.

Gericom, I have got a question. If the cache version runs faster should I write nocache=0 even though the game kinda works?

Edit: I updated the wiki. Tell me what you think.

I know I'm a turd for asking but could I have a one-off build with the SNES Mario controls? I'm happy enough with the current state of the gameplay otherwise. The only reason I'm persistent on this one is because it's my favorite game of all time.

Y = Run
B = Jump
A = Spin Jump

Just wait, a Config menu needs to be implemented first (changing the whole control scheme just for one game is stupid).

But implementing something like a Control Scheme per game after the Config menu will be a good idea

My initial idea was just if it works at all with nocache or cache, but I could add some intermediate category as in "working, but poor" or so.

I think it's nice how you did it now

Is there a way to get Gbarunner2 to fill out the top/bottom of the game screen like when you run Gba games installed to the emunand?, there is a cog in the corner of Gbarunner2 that is unselectable and seems to have no function, i'm running it through twilight menu.

Well, with TWL_FIRM screen mods coming, it may be possible in the future.

That doesn't work yet. It's supposed to take you to a settings screen, when it works.

On a flashcard or twilightmenu?

American Bass Challenge (U) has some issues with save files. The game no longer boots after saving.

hey, thanks to the developers for that amazing emulator. I have been testing golden sun, sounds are missing, for example at the begining during the storm . it doesnt have a specific sound of wind in the background.
In metroid fusion( I think it is a common issue) the sound seems to be delayed.
the lord of the ring the return of the king turns on very laggy and slow when the enemies enter in the screen or fight.
gunstar heores presents some minor graphics glitches
invader - sound not working.

the version of gba runner Im using is 5abecad (2019/07/05). My system is new 3ds . /r4 with moonshell.

Thanks for all your hard work, indeed amazing emu. Im able to play translated Fire Emblem 6 - The Binding Blade, only old translation works but it's really great. There's a newer patch from different group with some improvement, but after boot there's only black screen. But hey, having this game playing this way is more than expected.

I've been testing ffv(eu) sound restoration patched on Commit 897403a (2019/06/30) ver.
I've confirmed that it randomly hangs on battles. The music still plays but you can't do anything
It's triggered by commands. It can be steal, kick, cover, any magic, and etc. Haven't tried the summon command tho. Defend and row doesn't hang the game. I'll be testing it on newer release of gbarunner later. Will post update if anything happens.

Playing with commit 916020e. Very good job so far, keep up the good work! Pokemon Fire Red no longer lags before wild pokemon battles, but theres just one transition for trainer battles that is laggy. Also, before this update, looking at your trainer card in fire red would freeze the game, but now there's just a little lag. No problems with Pokemon Ruby. even the dark cave effect works now, I recall that not working in previous versions. Super Mario Advance 2 works fine but the borders of the text boxes flicker. Also, I was testing that one gba flappy bird homebrew, and it also works great, but the background doesn't scroll like it should. Anyway, thank you so much for creating this, and I hope it will gain more support!

edit: the pokemon games i tested, i sram patched beforehand. Same for SMA2. Also, Mario Kart Super Circuit and SMA4 work flawlessly

I tested the latest ARM9 version of GBARUNNER that you posted here and i tested 2 SpongeBob games: Battle for Bikini Bottom and The Movie Game, they both have sound now but for some reason Battle for Bikini Bottom crashes randomly in ARM7, i didn't test The Movie Game in ARM7 but it's likely to crash there too.

how to install the arm versions on twilightmenu

 

[pgattic]

? There's one version that supports arm7 and one that supports arm9 processors, both found on the GitHub. If the arm9 one workson your setup, thats the one you should use.

i have a DSi XL but when i try to boot the arm9 version it just crashes, is it only compatible with some DSi's or what?
