Thanks for developing MGBA, I'm Marioipod13 and I really like playing my old GameBoyAdvance games with this.

My favorite Game Boy Advance games are:
* Pokemon Sapphire
* Pokemon FireRed
* Super Mario Advance (the Super Mario 3 and World versions)

Hello,

Is there way to manage RTC in the 3DS version of mgba ? I want to have Fixed Time Clock for speedrun (pokemon emerald).

Thank you in advance for your responses !

Is there any hope for Wireless Adapter emulation on mGBA in the future?? Sorry if the question has already been answered. I gave a little search and didn't find any thread dealing with this topic. It would be a dream come true, honestly.

So I played with two friends via mGBA and we all separately have a folder with the mgba rom and we all separately when we want to save export a game shark file and then save within the game (in this case pokémon). But after playing for so long when we close after saving them open it restarts the game. How can i fix this or avoid this!?

Hi guys,

I'm trying to apply shaders to my games but when I go into settings and click on shaders, the folders appear to be empty.

However, when I access the folders through the file explorer (not through the mGBA settings that link you to the folder), the shader files are present.

For whatever reason, mGBA cant see the .fs and config files. Any idea what might be going on?

I have an i5 3470 running intel hd 2500, which apparently supports openGL 4.

I've attached two images of the problem.

Image 1 is accessing the shader folders through mGBA.

Image 2 is accessing them normally through the file system.

Hello,

I am having some issues with the RTC on pokemon games since the builds that add the time into the save files and wanted to know if it was normal and if there was a way to fix this.

I am playing Emerald on PS Vita, and everytime I save and reset the game, the clock always change to a random hour and found no solution but to install the time patch that lets you change it in the pokecenter.

I finally find someone somewhere having the same problem and the solution was to use the build 7704,and the RTC finally works fine.

Is it possible to always use the hw clock on Vita and / or not to save the time into the save files ?

Thanks for helping me out.

trying to change the palette used by gameboy advanced games in mgba but can't figure out how to do so

I read a message from the admin of this forum where they shared how they imagined the online multiplayer, something involving the two machines involved doing the complete emulation for both mCores.

That was featured by the admin as something hard to implement and the problem to do traditional communication between the two machines each one with one mCore was the tight timing required that discards the chance to do that without risking to frequent timeouts.

I have come to think that other way that is between these two may exists and I am trying to implement something similar.

We know local cable link communication in a single machine between multiple mCoreThreads already work almost flawlessly. (At least for the games I tried.)

Then a approach that I thought may be worth to try is that every mCores involved in the multiplayer is played in a single machine, the Host, and every other machine involved is simply a Client for that Host that receives via network sockets the video and audio and sends the emulation input for its core like key presses.

And what it is better, it can be done without the user even noticing without "restarting" the emulation thanks to savestates.

In a hello packet the client sends its rom and its savestate and magically the emulation continues in the remote host.

I do not know if the forum will penalize me or delete the message if I share the git repositories of my proof of concept using libmgba to achieve remote emulation, so I will share it in a follow up message.

(I have been kindly asked to stop using the github issues of mgba as a support forum.)

These are the codes, still undocumented, but obvious to configure/compile to someone that knows Perl and C.

I will document it more when I actually achieve something more than simply getting the remote video.

I was thinking since games like Pokemon Red use a pseudo rng that is obviously dated and restricted by hardware, if it's possible to inject the Windows/Mac/Linux rng into the games rng?

What the title says really, I can't find a way to change the file location like I would be able to on other programmes.
