Hacking TempGBA: NDSGBA revival

[Aeter]

So someone ported TempGBA, which is a psp port, back to the psp and now you want that triple port ported back to the dstwo, am I PORTraying this right?

But seriously, I think this is it for TempGBA and probably doesn't get any better unless the source of the version you linked to has any useful code in it that could be integrated into Nebuleon's TempGBA, but I don't have any insight in that.

If that's the same version I think it is, TempGBA4PSP, it's 10000+ lines of code worth of differences, all unidentified, none of which in isolation helps to fix any single problem, and it adds MIPS32R2 instruction optimisations (PSP-only) and PSP Media Engine code, which, if ported back, would have to be deoptimised and lose all the speed benefits.

So a porter would have to look at all those 10000+ lines of differences, figuring out which is MIPS32R2 or PSP Media Engine code, and pretty much lose all the speed benefits + introduce more stability issues.

Is there any way to set custom paths in TempGBA?

Do game cheats (Action Replay, etc) work good with TempGBA and SC DSTwo?

No, the cheat system is broken.

No, the cheat system is broken.

Is there a better GBA Emulator for DSTwo that works with cheats better?

Nope this is the best GBA emulator for DSTWO. There is also NDSGBA which TempGBA is based on, so basically you would be downgrading and the cheat system doesn't work any better either I believe.
There is also gbaemu4ds but that does not use the DSTWO's power , so doesn't the same game compatibility as TempGBA, and has no cheat functionality.
That is it for GBA emulators on the DS.

Not sure if this is the best place for this but I had just thought about playing through Dragon Quest Monsters Caravan Heart again and decided to toss a copy on my dstwo and I'm getting massive audio artifact cracking in a lot of places, the most annoying of which being when text has audio to represent speech. Anyone else had this type of issue? I will have to check in the morning to see which version of TempGBA I have, as a note the same artifacts were happening on the last version of NDSGBA as well.

Anyone know where I can get NDSGBA version below 1.21?

Here's NDSGBA v1.13.​

May I ask why you want this for?​

Have been trying to get Gameshark codes to work on GBA games, mainly Mega Man Battle Network 2...
Can GS codes be used with NDSGBA?

I'm happy to report that the Super Card DS 2 and TempGBA both work perfect with the New 3DS XL that came out today! I popped it in after system transfer and everything worked as it did with my old 3DS.
I do have a question though, will there be any plans to update TempGBA to make use of the New 3DS's better processor? It may make the emulation run smoother. Or is that not needed, and the better processor of the New 3DS making the emulation better anyway?

 

[sj33]

TempGBA is now inactive and not currently being developed, but what you are suggesting is impossible anyway because the DSTwo runs under DS Mode and thus doesn't have access to New 3DS or even regular 3DS resources.

Is there any way to get cheats to work on TempGBA?

I'm not asking much, unlike the others but could you upload a TempGBA 1.45.4 binary on your github? Since you have to be on a Linux OS in order to just compile.

All versions are there in binary form on filetrip.net, just click other versions.

Those are the old ones, I'm talking about version 1.45.4 which was released on his github in may 2014, the latest one on filetrip is the stable 1.45, which was released in September 2013.

Well just compile the source then.

 

[purpasmart96]

Well just compile the source then.

You need to install the dstwo sdk and need to be running linux in order to just compile it, and no I'm not going to install an OS just for compiling it.
