There is a bit of an issue with Sonic Pocket Adventure on this emulator
Theres a chance that the first boss will despawn offscreen and wont return effectively softlocking the game
Ive come across this issue multiple times and i dont know if its a bug with the game itself or the emulator, but from what ive played this game worked fine on other emulators so im gonna guess its an issue with this emulator
But other than this slight issue the Emulator is actually fine and im surprised since most emulators (That arent new, or the Atari ones) are pretty shallow and such. I think this emulator is great but the issues still need to be tinkered out

changing the CPU cycles or whatever that setting was called, and loading a savestate, usually works as a workaround to make it re-appear. At least that worked for me

You plan on adding soft reset to this? I really hate having to power the DS Lite off when I'm done using this. The other emulators you made didn't require me to do this at all.

I've been trying out games like Crush Roller, Metal Slug 1st Mission and Sonic Pocket Adventure, and it works great! The only issue I'm having is with the bios, which seems to freeze the emulator on "Please Wait, Power On". So far, I've tried a couple of different bios, moved them to different file locations and changed the emulator settings, and they didn't seem to fix anything. Any ideas why this might be? Thanks in advance.

Which color do you get? And when you say "some neo geo pocket B/W games" do you mean all games or do you mean a specific game? Are you using DS, DSi or 3DS?

Is this with the B/W BIOS, is the emulator actually frozen or can you open the menu? Select is the power button on the NGP, if you hold it, does it start?

Both the B/W Bios and the Color Bios seem to have the same issue. Holding select doesn't start the emulator, and I'm unable to open the menu, it is completely frozen.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.
