Hi I just got the mGBA emulator for the New 3DS Xl, and I was wondering if there is a way to rewind and/or if there is a turbo mode? It would really help with the game I'm playing. Thanks in advance (no pun intended)!

Hi guys,

I successfully installed mGBA on my Vita. However, as I tried to play Legacy of Goku 2, the game said “it could not run on this hardware” when Gohan approached the world map fly. I wonder how I can fix this issue.

Hi guys

   I was wondering if there was a way to change the menu screen settings inside the emulator. The black background in menu is ok but i would like to add a custom wallpaper or color change. Ive been looking at the srm, xml files and what ever and i can change the live area and its png’s but i cant see anything that would let me give the menu a wallpaper. 

 Is this possible? If so can you please point me in the right direction on how to do so?

Im running the latest MGBA version on a vita with FW3.67 and henkaku.

Hi, 

  I have been toying with some GBA development and experimenting with different emulators. I've managed to get mGBA set up using GDB and Visual Studio to give me some decent line by line debugging of my C code. But I'd really like to know more about this feature that's mentioned on the main page "GBA: Support printing debug strings from inside a game" and if there's any instructions on how to get this functionality working using ASM or C.

Other than this, mGBA is really nice to use for GBA development so thanks, and the inclusion of GDB hooks is brilliant.

So I'm installing the .cia on my emunand (11.7U), run the app, it brings up the menu so I navigate to a rom file (tried many), and when I select it I just get a "Loading" message that seems to freeze. Anyone have any experience with this and know how to fix it?

Hey endrift,
Last time I tried playing some GBA games on the new 3DS on mGBA v0.6.1 and I found the framerate and speeds weren't very good, so I stopped playing. However, after updating to v0.6.3 and setting the framerate from 5 to 0 (which I thought I did on v0.6.1 but maybe I didn't?) the games are running very smoothly! Is this due to the improvements from v0.6.1 to v0.6.3 on the new 3DS or was I missing something 6 months ago? Thanks in advance, I look forward to hearing your insight on this.

mGBA edition:   0.5.2
game:               Pokemon Emerald 386 Chinese Edition by Some Amazing Programmer
problem:           after setting the time in game when I started play, the time on clock never changes, and I was stupid to set it at a time when Shoal Cave tides. As a result, I can't get into most of the cave.

question: how do I make the time move / or just set a different time in my current progress without having to restart the game all the way from the beginning?

Hello endrift,

I thank you for your fix to the RTC implementation by interdpth which is used in prime-dialga's DNS program. That RTC implementation however does break communications for some reason.

Anyways there is another RTC implementation originally by ZodiacDaGreat (posted here: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showpost.p...ostcount=2) that was re-utilized and enhanced by Shiny Quagsire for his Wizard-DN system (here: https://github.com/shinyquagsire23/Wizar...er/rtc.asm). Fortunately, this one doesn't break communications, but it doesn't work in mGBA. This is the patch it is a part of: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=409672 which was originally obtained from here: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showpost.p...ostcount=1 

I'm not entirely sure if this is the same problem that you posted here: https://twitter.com/endrift/status/959123576430317568, but I did try looking for similarities between both implementations to see if it had the same bugs. My limited ASM hacking knowledge hasn't really been able to see if it's indeed the same problem as the other implementation so I turn to you for help in fixing this if possible.

Thanks for your time and I hope you'll be able to help.

hello.

first at all, I have to say thank you for your work.
and my own language is not english.
please understand even I can't translate my language.
if you feel I'm rude, it's not my intent.


I have n3ds. and I really want to play gba on my machine.
but retroarch gpSP core have random crash because bad compiled dynamic recompiler that I known.
and mGBA that your work is safe but frame is low because don't have dynamic recompiler. just I known.
VC injection is uncomfortable and not supported my own contry.

do you have any plan for dynamic recompiler?

thank you.

Hi everyone,

I found mGBA today, and tried it out. It has better performance than my previous emulator, and finally there are no sound glitches. The only thing that's off-putting for me is that the save state files use a file extension called .ss1, which in itself is not a problem whatsoever, but I also use GBA4iOS on my phone, and it's pretty convenient that I can move save files between devices and pick up the game from where I was.

However, GBA4iOS only works with .sgm file extensions. Is it possible to make mGBA use .sgm for save states instead?
