Hey guys, first off, thank you for such a marvelous emulator!

I am on WINDOWS 10 Latest Update

Alright now off to the issues I am having. I have an xbox one controller that I have tried to get my config to stay but it simply will not for whatever reason. All buttons will work perfectly and stay configured EXCEPT THE LEFT AND RIGHT TRIGGERS on the controller (Not the shoulder buttons, but triggers just to be clear). The shader I am trying to use (the FISH shader) will also not stay between closing and re opening the emulator. I have tried this on the new BETA version of the emulator 0.7-b1, as well as the previous full release (0.6.3). 

What's strange is that I will set the triggers to L and R respectively and they will work for some time, but then they switch off for some reason? it's really odd. 

Any help with this matter is appreciated, I hope it's just a simple bug that can be fixed as I want this emulator to shine to the best of it's capability!

EDIT : Oh and just to add a bit of information here, when I change the L and R mappings it goes from a value of L trigger = (+2) and R trigger = (+5) Which are the functioning, proper values that respond to controller inputs, to L trigger = (-2) and R trigger = (-5) which are the problematic values, and do not respond to inputs. The emulator changes these values automatically for some reason?! it must be a bug, i hope you guys can fix it easily! thank you for listening.

i've downloaded the thing like 5 times but i don't know how to open it  (i'm using widows btw)

So, mGBA is an amazing emulator, and the feature I value the most it's its amazing video recording feature.

I'm planning to do a documentary video about Pokémon and I have to play and record the whole thing. But thing is that I enjoy playing GBA games much more on my phone. So I was wondering, could the potential Android version (which I would love to know the current status of such) and other mGBA ports implement the feature of recording my inputs so I can play them back on my computer for later video recording?

And on the note, when trying to record my inputs with the "Record video log" option on PC, I don't see any option in the emulator to play it back, and when loaded as a ROM, it plays with no sound. Any fix for this?


Currently using the mGBA 0.7 b1 version, eagerly waiting for ver 0.8! 

P.S.: ver 0.7 b1's FPS counter displays framerates above 60 (65.4 to be exact), when the target is 60fps and still plays at that framerate.

I am just here, to thank you guys for the awesome port of mgba to the switch!
Totally happy that my favourite gba emulator found its way onto the switch.

really appreciated!! <3

Hi,
I'm new to mGBA, currently just playing around with code and experimenting ways to implement netplay feature.
What I noticed is that sometimes 2 local gba emulations when connected through link cable will result in different states (even when they started from same states and received same input sequences).

What I tried:
- open 2 gbas on PC A, then open 2 gbas on PC B. 
- 2 gbas on the same machine were executed on the same thread (to avoid randomness of multithreading). 2 gbas in 2 machines started from same save states.
- Apply the same input sequences to the 2 gbas in 2 machines, at first the states keep being identical for a while. However at some point, they started behave differently.
- For example: on PC A, lockstep.useCycles(1, 499) was called, while on the other one, useCycles(1, 495) was called. 

I'm not sure why the cycles value were called differently at that time. After that point, obviously the states of 2 gbas on 2 PCs were diverse.

Hello!  I'm here to ask you for help on one thing:  this morning i opened Pokémon Emerald rom (JAP version) via mGBA emulator on my old 2ds, but the game run very very slow. Is there a way to make it run better?

Thanks in advance

Hello, and a greeting to start! This is my first post here, my name is...not important but you can call me "roracle".
I'm glad to be here and hope I can get some help on my issue.

Okay, so I started doing emulation again and decided to give this a whirl. Here's the problem I'm facing though:

When I go to load a ROM, it doesn't save the location I was last using (/home/roracle/Emulation/GBA/roms/).
So I set up the library directory, and nothing was shown on the screen.
I had to select "Show when no game open" option, so the list showed up finally.
However, when I double click a title, it just sits there like a bump on a log.
Expected behavior: double click a title in the list view and start the game.

I'm using Ubuntu 18.10 (Budgie Desktop, basically a custom Gnome3)

Any help with this would be appreciated!  Thank you!

Hi
I tried to run the game Karate Joe (Karate Joe (Europe) (Unl)) for game boy color, but it does not start.
I checked the MD5 and SHA1 values and match those in the nointro.dat file
I tried it on both the windows platform and Libretro (Retropie)
is there any solution? thank you

I've looked around for a while now, found no relevant answers.  I've got mGBA installed on my laptop - a Linux Mint distro that's built off Ubuntu 16.04.  It'll load up a game just fine, but it doesn't seem to respond to any keys other than apostrophe (which advances 1 frame) and tab (which activates the speedy frame-skipping thing I think SNES9x came up with originally).

I've tried the default keys as listed by [man mgba], I've tried setting up a config file a couple of different ways.  There's no dropdown menus to work with that I can see (despite having seen them in screenshots online), or I'd be fine.  I must admit, not having a GUI config option puts me out of my depth immediately - by Linux user standards, I'm firmly in the camp that needs some hand-holding.

Anyone got some suggestions as to how to get it to accept keyboard input?  I'm probably missing something really dumb and easy, but I'm kinda out of ideas.

So, I went to play Super Mario Advance 3, and it gave me "Your save data is corrupted." This also happened when I tried to play it on Visual Boy Advance. I have heard that changing the save type might help, but I'm not sure where to go to find the option.
