Hacking Running GBA games with YSMenu/DSTT official

[SomeRandomGuy]

Hi all,

I've had great experiences with my DSTT, and I've loved it even more ever since I put YSMenu on it, but I'm a bit confused as to how to get GBA games to properly run and save. There are several options and I'm not familiar with the terminology. I am working alongside the EZFlash 3-in-1, and my DSTT has the latest YSMenu.

I don't necessarily need to be able to run GBA games straight from the 3-in-1, but I do want to be able to use the .sav files that I had created with VisualBoyAdvance and have YSMenu save it back to my MicroSD card.

Thanks in advance for your help

*smile* Has no one successfully played GBA games before? I'm just looking for a little insight on what options do what.

You can play and save GBA games using the EZ3-in-1 with GBA ExpLoader. I'm not sure if the latest version of YSMenu properly saves GBA games, but Yasu updates it frequently so it probably will eventually.

I know what format GBA ExpLoader or YSMenu uses to save GBA games, nor do I know if they are compatible with the .sav files created with VisualBoyAdvance. It would be easy to run a GBA game in GBA ExpLoader, and then replace the save file created with GBA ExpLoader with your .sav file to see if it works.
