Same here on my end. Stable 0.6.3 has slight audio crackling in Golden Sun. It's audible when the music hits the high notes. Feels bad. Can only imagine what that's like for the dev.

Care to open the issue too directly at the github? I dunno whether it's better to reply on one of the older closed issues that dealt with the popping noise in v0.6.2.

You mean for the popping issue in Golden Sun?
We first have to be sure that it is not a 3DS-specific problem to begin with.
If you can replicate that issue in any of the other ports, then it should be filled as a Github issue, in the meantime it is better to contribute to that thread to further cement the issues presented right now.

Others reporting popping for GB(C) games. It seemed the issue was platform broad and not 3DS specific. In v0.6.2 stable, I noticed the audio in Pokemon Blue & Red DX hacks; this release also broke a lot of sprites for other games too. Mine as described, at least for G.S., was more crackling.

I would be willing to go on a bug finding binge for mGBA at a later date after a cool down period away from my 3DS. I've done enough debugging for other homebrews this past month lol.

Oh I see.
Then yeah the regression did have some issues.
I could only suggest to keep track of the thread I posted, and fill in endrift with whatever problem you come across there, instead in a GitHub issue.
endrift usually replies daily in the forum, so it should be fairly quickly to let the dev know about the problem there.

even without BIOS most games should at least load, try with the BIOS though, it has way better compatibility with it

Uninstall the mGBA cia with FBI and delete the mGBA folder found on the root of your SD card; take whatever roms you got in there and relocate them somewhere else. Try reinstalling the latest stable release.

Did you delete the mGBA folder on the SD card? It has the config.ini and log files in there whenever you install and setup mGBA. Something might have went wrong going from a stable release to nightly with the config file.

It could also be the rom themselves. Do you have a desktop version of mGBA to verify the roms work?

There couId a number of reasons why mGBA is not working for you. I'll try the latest nightly build to see if perhaps the cia version is borked. BRB.

Edit - I'm back. The latest nightly works.

Try pressing (X) > Configure > Autoload state ... Off.

There might have been changes in the mGBA internal bios that makes old savestates incompatible for nightly.

Is your luma CFW on the latest Version? Your Version could be outdated. I´m just guessing, i´m not sure if you need the latest Firmware.

im on new 3ds version 11.5.0-38E
Hm.. Me too. And my luma version is 8.1.1. My games are in a folder called MGBA.

Edit: You could ask Endrift for help. There is a Issue Thread for mGBA Version 0.6.3 over at mgba.io.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
