Visualboy Advance 1.7 beta 4

Forgotten has just released Visualboy Advance 1.7 beta 4! Release notes:

This will be the last 1.7 beta and contains numerous fixes to the GUI
problems since the GUI migration. It also reverts some of the timing
back to 1.6a timing due to problems caused by the new timing. Also,
several Gameboy bugs are now fixed.


Download it on the official website.[/p]

I'm having a lot of problems with VBA betas. Almost all games that uses mode 7 graphics, such F-Zero Falcon Densetsu, Starsky & Hutch, Crash Nitro Kart, Hot Wheels World Race and several other, just play but controls does not respond. You can't turn left or right or move to any direction, and if you hold enough the pad to any direction, then when you release it, it's still pressed!

Even menu items and minimize-maximize-close buttons does not respond! You can't close the window. The game is still running...

I play it in windowed mode, 3x (not fullscreen or maximized), but even playing in 1x, it's still the same. I have a P4 1.7 with 256Mb. The only way to make it a lil' bit less damn unplayable is using Automatic Frameskip, but it works for a few minutes.

Any solution?

Sneaking around VBOY I discovered it seems the problem is with the option "Synchronize".

When I activate it, almost all games (with new VBA 1.7b4) does not respond. When I deactivate it, mostly games runs fine, but sound is crappy.

I think a good addition if it does'nt already exist is to make it so you can select a seperate directory for .sav files so you don't end up with a folder full of ROMs and saves.

Yes! I thought of that exact idea but I forgot it!

It's so annoying when playing roms from your rom directories, just to test them or play them, and suddenly you get a directory filled with random .sav's of which most you don't even want!

A seperate directory for saves only would be great!

i think VBA already has that addition, options - Emulator - Directories, change the directory of the Roms and the Battery and you have the roms and the Battery in different directories

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    I bet most people at the time still watched it in black and white
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates

    Sorry didnt read that part
