Anyways, Yeah, same rules as my Homebrew compatibility thread. Submit a game, will be added when you have someone saying the same thing. A 1 sentence description is appreciated

 

[trumpet-205]

Nice thread. If mod could sticky this it'll be great.

 

[_Chaz_]

Sonic Advance is playable.

Spoiler

When you get to the screen with the 4 black rectangles, simply soft reset (A+B+L+R+select+start) and it will take you to the proper game screen.

Same applies for Sonic Advance 2.



Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories is also playable.

Spoiler

Make a save-state when the game freezes in the opening cut-scene. Exit the game, come back and reload the save-state. The game should progress.

 

[chyyran]

Added the fixes to the catagories

 

[RoMee]

there's no point in this when there's this

you just copy that other thread

 

[chyyran]

That only covers roms 0001-0400 and a few more random ones This will hopefully cover EVERY SINGLE Unbootable, Unplayable and Problematic rom. I just used those results to start us off. Also, this will actually be updated.

 

[chyyran]

If a mod would kindly Sticky this , It would be appreciated.
REMEMBER. Come across a rom that doesn't boot/has glitches or is unplayable, report it HERE!

 

[Luna]

I play 0172 - Donald Duck Advance (E) [Paracox] [4C086A5E] - - Quick Graphic Glitches In Dialog w/o any of those graphic glitches (Or I atleast did not notice any)

 

[chyyran]

Yeah, but that's already on there

 

[Luna]

Its noted as having Graphics glitch.

I do not notice any and I've been playing for quite a bit. Isnt that strange?

 

[Another World]

the game_config.txt has been updated to 1.3. perhaps its time to retest?

-another world

 

[Ryukouki]

Does Boktai 1 work yet?

 

[chyyran]

Gonna test monkey ball tomorrow, don't feel like plugging in that adapter

 

[Xenon++]

There is a homebrew called AIR Pocket Advance (MiNAGI).
When I execute it, it just goes into Slot2 NDS mode (of course no Nintendo logo).
Possibly it is checking GBA bios...

 

[chyyran]

Post in the homebrew thread on my sig please. I'll test it out if you post a link

 

[hullo8d]

Classic NES and Famicon Series.

 

[_Chaz_]

the game_config.txt has been updated to 1.3. perhaps its time to retest?

-another world

Could I actually get a link to that?
I tried one that I found on FileTemp, and FireRed now can't use RTS.

 

[Zaertix]

I'd like a link as well.

 

[Aeter]

Here you go

Next time try entering "game_config" in filetrip's search bar, tyvm.
