Homebrew mGBA black loading creen

[indigo98]

I just installed mGBA but I can't play because every time I start a game mgba freezes on the black loading screen. I previously installed the gpsp retroarch code(even if I'm not sure what to do with) and put the gba_bios in retroarch/core/system folder. Is there something I forgot to do?

mgba doesn't need a bios to run, so I wouldn't worry about that for the moment. I've never run into this so no idea. Assuming if you have luma that you installed the CIA version with FBI.

Yes I have luma,even if I modified my console a long time ago ( maybe two years ago) and I never updated it, while I installed the last version of mgba. Could be this the problem? (to be fair for gba games i use an injector, but it can't make work the RTC for some games, so for now i must fix this problem with mgba)

What version of Luma3DS are you using? Does A9LH (arm9loaderhax) ring any bells?

In case you are *an old time homebrewer, welcome back. You gots lot to catch up on:

Yeah I would look into updating, latest Luma can run on the latest system update. Never ran CFW that old so I don't know if that is causing the conflict.

Thank you for your help. I followed and completed the guide, and now my version of Luma (i guess) is 9.0. As regards mgba, now it works, even if in a so much horrible way ( it's very slow, the game lags a lot, and sound is distorted) that i can't use it. Is there something I should/must do?

Are you using NSUI and enable the rtc option?

 

[indigo98]

No,I use another type of Injector, which works fine.However the RTC doesn't work for that games which RTC is not naturally implemented in the native rom ( for example, some pokemon fire red hacks). Does NSUI works for this type of rom? ( I'm asking because right now I can't try by myself)

I haven't had any problems with rom hacks.

 

[indigo98]

I tried with NSUI and it still doesn't work(at least,for pokemon adventures red chapter)

Is the game you're trying to play called Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - Red Rescue Team, the european version?

What isn't working? Is the game not saving correctly? Try using a different ROM save type.

Are you having trouble creating and exporting the game as a .cia file?

 

[indigo98]

Ok, I tried all the possible settings, and, in the end, i made it works! Now everything is just fine. Thank you for your help!
