Emulation Problems with Emulating a GBA Game? Click.

Yes, pretty much. This game is a beast to run smoothly.

1. Go buy a faster CPU for your computer, if it's an older one. That'll cut down the amount of frameskip needed.
2. Download the newest emulator version, and put it into a separate folder so they don't share configuration settings.
3. Make sure the save type is set to Flash 128K.
4. Turn off screen filters like hq4x, etc.

I've found that the newest version of VBA (that is, either the official 1.8.0 or the unofficial VBA-m project) actually requires more CPU power than older versions. Try using VBA 1.7.2 with the DirectDraw render method for fastest emulation.

1. You mention this...why?, never asked about the frameskip.
2. anything further than VBA 1.71 and things go south, eh, i made a separate folder for climax anyway.
3. vba-over.ini
4. i don't use filters

as for all that you said...why?, i only asked about having a patch-related problem.

so, if I want a good gba emulator, I should just try to find the 1.71 version? sorry for reviving a dead thread but the newest emulator lags sometimes on my laptop -.-,

If speed is an issue, then you want VBA 1.7.2, using the DirectDraw method of drawing to the screen (not OpenGL or D3D). If you want more accurate emulation, then 1.8.0 or any version of VBA-M (which is still under development) would be better, but takes a bit more CPU power.

The link for Gbata doesn't work. Just so you know.

You know, VBA Does link to others via same comp or internet, so even if the VBA 1.8.0 does use more CPU, either
1. Buy and new comp if it's that serious.
2. Buy a new CPU if it's also that serious.
3. Buy a Gaming Comp and Be done with it because at that point you just solved 95% of your Gaming speed problems
4. Exit CPU Hogging programs using Taskmanager(Ctrl+alt+delete to open)
5. Quit Complaning.

It's Just a little Emulator. No Big deal over this.

If none of these options fit your satisfaction. Go extreme!

6. Make Your own emulator. HA! Thy that on for size.

If you have nothing good to say, don't say it at all cuz i ain't here to argue, just help out with my general knowledge(although i can help using my tec smarts

)

Go to here for a good degragger. Some people swear by it. I hope it helps you. Just run your save through it and hopefully everything will be ok

Thats not the problem But NICE try!

The problem is that it is an anti piracy technique I think, since I never was able to play this game yet!

 

[emigre]

If you're getting irritated than try playing the NES or SNES version of the game.

Try downloading this then use the SRAM patcher on your rom & see if it works .

next problem. The Mushroom Kingdom seems to have a heavy Earthquake at my emulator. I cannot select anything if I end up on the map after selecting a file

Well maybe try another vba ver or explain your problem better since I can't understand it . Maybe a pic can help .

Edit: you can also try patching your clean rom with this patch .

Hmm well after i select a profile on SMB3, I get on the main map of world one get it? Well the whole freaking map is shaking(That explains my post a bit) and I can't select anything! >.>;;

But I will try to fellow your steps. Still the earthquake occurs.

Pics won't help btw, since you can't see it moving on a pic

I tried saving a pokemon game with Flash$Flash 128kb settings, but the save file comes out 64kb..
Then I tried setting it to automatic&Flash 128kb, and then the game said the save failed & is checking backup memory...
If anyone could make me a 128kb save file at the beginning of the game with a shiny charmander and have the character named RED and the rival named BLUE
and send it to me, that'd be swell.. :3

Well you got me curious so I tried it out & saw what you mean . Got it fixed by going to options->emulator->save type & choosing flash 128kb and booting the clean rom .
