As in maintaining the normal frame size while having the fullscreen black borders and whatnot. VBA-M has this functionality but I'm trying to figure if mGBA is capable of the same.

I was playing radical red. Went to go do something and i came back, and my left bumper is not working whatsoever. I tried to switch the button from a to something else, didnt work. Then i tried to do the controller, that didnt work at all either. After that i tried maybe making a new save and it still didnt work.

hello, I have trying to cheat Pokemon Emerald (u)
however 1 code i need is not working that happens to be the Wild Pokemon Modifier code, the websites I use are:

Hi,

I don't know if this is the proper place to open this thread but I don't have access to any other dev related sections.

I programmed a little Wrapper for the Scripting API, which is written in C++ and could easily be ported to other languages like e.g. python.

With this Wrapper you can execute functions like e.g. reading or writing to memory, retrieve game code or title and sending key presses.

The wrapper works by setting up a TCP server on the C++ application and a TCP client with a LUA file on the emulator. Afterwards commands are sent from the server to the client and parsed in LUA and results are sent back.

I did it because it was a cool experiment for myself and also because I wanted to do external cheat's for some GBA games.
Also I chose to not read/write directly into the emulators process memory, so it could support more version's of mGBA (dependend of the script api and not e.g. byte signatures etc.)

This was pretty fun to me and I hope this could also be somewhat useful to you guys.
Everything is open-source and for you to access right away.
Also I'm quite busy but if I find any time to work on this in the future, I'll be more than happy to extend the current feature set and make it more stable.
Please be aware that this project was coded in 3-4 hours and I never messed with mGBA nor Lua before that.

Also I did already a small cheat for Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team, which can be found here:

I'm always open for any kind of constructive feedback!

Hi,

I downloaded mGBA for Wii. Everything seems to be working fine, except that after clicking "Exit game" the TV screen goes black and the only way to use the Wii again is to unplug the power cable and then plug it in again.

Thx for your help

my friend and i downloaded mgba and pokemon quetzal and when we load up a a multiplayer window we cant do any saves or loads is it supposed to be like that? because we already have alot of hours on it without realizing we can couldnt do save states lol

Anyone know of a way to permanently disable full screen in this Emulator? Or at least eliminating the behavior when you push a button twice ("A" I think) it automatically goes to full screen?

I am setting up a Windows based mini-pc for the kids in the car. The PC is completely controlled by an xbox controller (no keyboard/mouse). The issue is once a program goes full screen, it shuts down the Windows Controller controls, effectively locking the user into that program unless a full restart is done.

I just recently started using mGBA and I downloaded Theta Emerald to play. I saved it to save slot 1 and when I went to play on it, it was gone. I checked my files and noticed there was a save but it was the wrong file type. It was a .sav file. I was wondering if there is any way I could play on that save state again.

Hello, this is by far my favorite gba emulator out but I was wondering if it was possible to make it so when you hold start and select at the same time, the game exits and when you start the game up again, it picks up right at that location. I'm using a steam deck so I'm not sure if doing that is different or possible. Can anyone help?

Thanks
