Homebrew mGBA official standalone Wii port

[InfiniteBlue]

I have a build with this already http://www.mediafire.com/file/ot30dj54t5wu0jw/mgba.zip

Other changes include:
Dimming (you need to hex edit it to change amount, or to remove) Default: Wii U DS VC
Restart game with the reset button.
GC L/R triggers work half-pressed.
Enabled the setting to skip bios animation.
Added Drill Dozer(Europe) rumble to the overrides.
Alternate bilinear settings, added to test limits, it's actually pretty useless.


My changes aside, you should really try Enhanced mGBA, it's got what you want and way more.

Oh, awesome! That works as well. Have you considered submitting a pull request for just the VI width change to the main branch? I feel like this is important to have in the main build, as it's a fix for a glaring oversight in the Wii port as opposed to an extraneous feature/enhancement.

there's any version that support 240p mode? in CRT looks better, there's a VBA version that support it
* 240p support added (NTSC and European RGB modes)

I personally wouldn't recommend VBA to anyone (save for the GUI), mGBA runs every single commercial ROM full speed, without any frameskipping or speed hacks, something VBA could never achieve on Wii.

Are you asking if mGBA supports 240p too? Because it does.

In Spanish: Sí, mGBA también soporta 240p.

Will cheat support be implemented?

Pretty sure you can just put your roms onto your hard drive and it will work. When you start mGBA you're given the choice between /sd and /usb if a compatible device is plugged in, just select /usb and navigate to the directory your roms are stored in.

You need to edit the config file and add this under the [ports.wii] section:

savegamePath=sd:/mGBA/saves/

(Or your own path I guess, I have only used that one)

Hi guys, i have also the same question as vAilleght had previously, changing the savegame path, i saw that they updated mGBA to 0.6.0, but i have a hard time to get the savegame path to work with this fresh 0.6.0 version. Is it only possible with the nightly builds or also with this version?

use latest nightly build here: https://mgba.io/nightlies/1/

you need to edit a config.ini file that is at sd:/mGBA/config.ini you can edit it with WiiXplorer or just extract config.ini to a laptop or pc and put it in the path that you need in case that you use usb like me

savegamePath=usb:/saves/ or the path that you want
in case of you use SD then
savegamePath=sd:/saves/

Will mGBA for the wii ever get fixed again?
v0.5.2 works fine but anything later seems to have issues with running at normal speed/sound issues again.

Would love to see this fixed sometime with the later builds.

How do I get cheats to work on mGBA?

 

[NeilZander]

Will this get a more friendly interface eventually like cover support or anything? or are we stuck with just the black background and large amounts of text? if it was a little more user friendly for people who either have trouble reading or anything this emulator would be even more perfect not just in it's stability but it's user base as well? regardless nice to see more stability to the GameBoy Advance emulator

Cheats are not yet supported in the Wii build.

 

[SuperrSonic]

Actually if you create a .cheats file on the desktop build and name it the same as the rom, the Wii port should pick it up automatically.

 

[ultramodern]

Can I set a custom location for screenshots?

Cheats are not yet supported in the Wii build.

Thanks Hopefully they will be

Which is currently the best, most stable, version of mGBA, that people would recommend?

Also, is there a channel forwarder available?

Version 0.6.1 would be the one to use from the main site.

I don't know.
