[K-One]

Visualboy was always a favourite emulator of mine. GJ, Forgotten!

 

[KenshinMan]

YAY!!! even though I don't understand half of the stuff mentioned up there! @_@

 

[.Ken^]

yay the final 1.7 is out

 

[El Bastardo]

Yes fixed the D3D-Full screen bug... I waited for this gonna test it now...

Wait good time to ask this:

Relaiting to "- (re)added support for 2-4 playes in SGB mode": What is this SGB and also in the extra menu this GBD playing and support stuff??

 

[mynimal]

Yay, finally.

Go Forgoteen, Go Forgotten...hm, that sounds odd. o.o; *Downloads*

 

[Inu268]

- (re)added support for 2-4 playes in SGB mode

what does this means?

 

[Hexidecimal]

SGB = Super Game Boy, IE, the old converter for SNES.

 

[TonyCool]

Does this version fix control hangs on mode7 games?

 

[Littel_Devill]

In this version of vba can we play dragon ball taikestu normal ?

 

[Shogun of Truth]

So the final version 1.7 is finally out eh? That's cool. This should be in the news thread.
I'll go download it when I'll have time.

By the way, welcome to the forum, Shogun of Truth.

Great, now I look like like a stupid n00b.

I thought for sure that this is where I should post it.

Oh well, so much for good first impressions.


EDIT: whoa, the mod merged my thread with the other one.
now I really look stupid.

 

[shaunj66]

Ah crap. I messed that up. Damn, stupid thread merging chronological order... :S

See? That's what playing too many video games does to your concentration!

*Goes back to play GBASP*

 

[Costello]

mind, guys
forgotten is used to browsing this forum (hey forgotten if you read this

you're the best)
so take care of what you write!

(i think i'm gonna translate VBA in fr... we'll see)

 

[TyrianCubed]

Yeah, I'm happy to see the final 1.7version

I love vba...the only thing I'm missing is something that allows me to do my strange pokemon transfers, but I know that isn't a function vba supports...just to talk

EDIT: i forgot: Thanks Forgotten!! Your work makes me happy and I thank you

 

[KrAjO720]

yahooo, finally it's out... and it fixed a lot of bugs and things... GREAT JOB FORGOTTEN!!!

 

[whatgives]

You made a good first impression by letting us know about this before anyone else. True, such topics belong here in the news section but only specific mods can create threads here so there's no harm done anyway.

Now that I have some free time, I'll download it right away. Now that the official version's out, I guess Forgotten will take some time off and enjoy the holidays, he certainly deserve it considering that he kept improving his emulator for a long time now.

 

[Opium]

Great work forgotten! Your emulator keeps getting better and better

I'd have thought there was nothing left too do but it's still going
