Hacking How to play GBA games on gateway?

[Chrisssj2]

I have updated gateway to 2.1.
It plays all 3ds roms just fine.

Before I had a gateway I had the DSTWO for gba games etc.

I have not tested the gba games, but how would I run gba games with the gateway? and is it only GBA? not GB or GBC?

While I still prefer the DSTWO.. because I dont think gateway has realtimesave?

Anyway i am curious to see how Golden sun 2 works on the Gateway.
Since it was a bit laggy on the DSTWO.

Blue card plays gba games,.gb/gbc too. Although the emulator is not as good as the dstwo. Next time read the stickies, they are there for a reason

the 3ds card (the white and red one) doesnt support any emulation yet, you must use the ds flash cart (the blue gateway) for homebrew\ds\emulators

 

[Chrisssj2]

Yes thats cute and all. but HOW does it play gba/gbc games etc. (Btw would it be possible to import savefiles from DSTWO for gateway use?)
I put in the blue card with an SD with some games on it, but then I go where??

Doesn't sound like you've added anything further to your micro SD card than what is required to launch the exploit. You might want to take a look at the following thread, which should be self explanatory once you get the files you need onto your micro SD: http://gbatemp.net/threads/icons-mu...014-4-19-by-3ds-blog-com.364978/#post-4975877

I have 0 experience with this as I've not tried it myself yet.

it'd be cool from gateway to find a trick to launch any game boy rom within the 3ds virtual console just like smea managed to achieve...

I doubt the gateway card would run it better, have you tried a different emulator on the ds2?

 

[Chrisssj2]

I just ran the official files listed on DSTWO website which said was the best around forums.

ANyway thanks guys I checked the link.. but the files aren't from gateway official ? am I missing something?

I see 2 zipfiles??::

Which one do I need and or what is the difference?

The GBA "emulator" (actually a hypervisor) for the DS, though a very impressive project, still has lots of compatibility issues and will not run nearly as well as the DSTwo emulator does.

It's just a modified wood kernel I believe, so no not official. Even the official gateway blue card files are a modification of a different project.

I downloaded it and installed, it says in readme
load /__rpg/Apps/patch.pat as a patch,then choose a *.gba in any directory,press A until the game runs.

I have golden sun 2 in my root.

I press A continuesly all these weird texts

BUt it fails...

Just white screen

+ lots of text on bottom screen.. what went wrong?

Probably far exceeds the hardware requirements for software emulation. Really your best option is to try a few different supercard GBA emulators. TempGBA works great for me.

 

[Chrisssj2]

So you are saying golden sun 2 doesn't work with gateway?

TempGBA is a DSTWO only emulator..?? does that work golden sun 2 better ?

Good luck trying to play GBA on a gateway card with emulation.

This deserves to be front page news.

I am trying this new TEMPGBA but how do I acces the menu? for cheat, save states load states fast foward etc.. what are the keys 0_0

NVM I found out..

GOlden sun 2 doesn't lag anymore at the beginng wooohooooooo!

One final question though.. the screen seems a little bit cropped..

Ie it doesn't full the screen 100% more like 85% with some black borders.. any fix for this??

Just play around in settings. There are options to fix aspect ratios and zoom

 

[Chrisssj2]

I did m8... only a few options.. no such thing in the video settings 0_0...

Are you sure.. ???

Or you mean like I need to edit a file ont he sd card?
