is there any message displayed like "Failed to open somefile" or "Failed to write save state"? Also can you check if a file exists right next to your ROM file called like your rom file, only with the .ram extension?

No message is displayed at all. There is a .ram file that exists.
 
Um, does any of you know what this is about?
Happens whenever I try to load any ROM. I'm on 5.1.0.

This emulator does not load roms on SX Pro 5.1.0, it gives you a black screen with some colored pixels on the header. Tested with 2 roms, kingdom hearts and metroid. Another bug is when you press the x button to exit, the whole system freezes and you must power off the switch and restart all over

Doubt most of these devs working on the emulators are gonna prioritize getting it to work on SX OS when it works fine on hetake already.

Yeah. The problem seems to be with SX OS loader. Not with the homebrew itself. Other homebrew apps are not working on SX OS specifically.
 
On 4.1.0 and unable to get save states to work. Pressing a on load/write save state does nothing. Tested across several games.

No message is displayed at all. There is a .ram file that exists.

Anyone have insight into this issue? Still cannot get load/write save states to do anything.
 
playing pokemon, everytime catching a new pokemon, the emulation resets, used many different roms, same problem playing hacked roms that worked fine on pc btw
played through 20 plus hours of emerald volume worked perfect so did saving catching pokemon 5.1.0 also play ash gray rom hack plays perfect so does fire red and the hack sjnori gold or watever with the mega evolutions except crashed when trying to use one of those upgrade things on cyndiquil

does it atleast work on some games or not all?

EDIT: also it's very likely that TX is responsible for the homebrew not working. Think about it for a second. The homebrew worked flawlessly for most people on all firmwares tested with hekate or with the 3.0 hb menu entry. Now TX OS enters the game and hb apps don't work anymore. What has changed compared to the previous situation? Only TX OS, ergo it's most likely the cause of the problem.

Looks like the latest SX OS v1.1 fixed VBA for me. All my roms work now. Can someone else confirm too?
Yes. They fixed it.

Comfirmed! and they just fixed it with their new update v1.1.

Does this emulator support any form of cheats yet? And if not, is there another Switch GBA Emulator that does which can be launched through SX OS?

If you read like, two posts above you, you'll see it can be launched on SX OS, just update. And cheats are supported on dev versions as well. You can go to Github, download and compile, but anyway someone already did and put a link here already.
