I've just switched over to this emulator after having a myriad of issues with VBA, and I am liking it so far. One major issue I am having right now is that I can't seem to change any of the options on the "Controllers Settings" menu. Hitting the refresh button seems to change everything, pushing buttons on my controller doesn't change any of the settings, and "set all" seems to do nothing.

Please, please, could you simplify the controller setup screen? Am I missing something obvious here, or am I just too stupid to figure this out?

EDIT: Been messing with it for about an hour, still can't get it to work right. Mapping a button seems to inexplicably change another mapped button. Hitting "refresh" also seems to change my settings.

I know that GBA wireless will be added, but, i'm not saying you should do it now, or even this year, but will you add DS wireless functionality at one point? No other DS emulator has it, and you like implementing things other emulators don't bother with.

Hi everyone, I would like to set back the emulator to its original settings, the reason is I been playing around with all the configurations ( even keyboard combinations )to see wich one worked better for me, now that I know I would like to set mGBA to its default settings and then change only the settings that I know work better for my pc, I tried deleting the containing folder, and downloading again but the previous set up remains so there must be a config file somewhere in my PC that I cant find. I have windows 8.1, any help?

I wanted to trade pokemon from Pokemon Red up to Crystal but I couldn't get it to work. GBA games work with the link cable, though.

The Gameboy Player and Gameboy Interface on Gamecube both support using a GBA as a controller.  If possible, this would be an awesome feature for mGBA Wii, as for now the only really good controller is the Gameboy Advance pad by Hori, which is quite expensive.  Would this be a possibility and/or has it been looked into?

mGBA WON'T SAVE?! What am I doing wrong??by DeadlyRevengexX at 7:27 AM (37 Views / 0 Likes) 0 replies

   Ok so, I just installed mGBA onto the 1GB SD card inside the apps folder in my 4.3u Wii, but NO instructions where given to me on how to make a roms and save folder.. Here's the even BIGGER problem: I want to save my GBA games and their save files onto my external Fat32 HDD instead of my 1GB SD. So here's what I did.. well guessed.. I created a mGBA folder inside of my external HDD and inside of it I made 2 folders, 1 entitled roms and the other saves. You know, since so many other emulators follow that pattern, I figured why not? Well.. I was very wrong. mGBA starts up fine, and all I have to do is find my roms folder after I click on USB, and it plays... very smoothly actually, and when I save.. it says it saved.. OK? Well, when I exit the game, restart my Wii, go back to USB, find the rom folder, and directly under the game I just saved it shows a save file! OH! Great! It HAD to of saved!! So I happily enter back into the game... andddd no saves. Every slot in game says new game, no loads.. nothing... I also really am not a fan of save states AT ALL. I like to play a game and save it as it was intended to get the most realistic experience possible.. but even if I try to save the state.. IT FREEZES!! and I have to restart the Wii by holding onto the power! On a positive note, I REALLY like how great mGBA plays, sounds, and looks on my Wii, and I would love to solve this problem soon.. can anyone help? Maybe I'm using an outdated version? I got it from the mGBA site.. so.. idk? Also I tried saving on 2 separate games, Metroid Fusion and Dragonball Z: Legacy of Goku 2, and the same things happened. I also know that it's not my harddrive as I run Nintendont games great, and all save.Thanks in advance! (Pun intended)

Hello, first i want to thank you for creating this great Emulator. mGBA works perfect on my Windows 10 System however it won't start on my secondary Windows XP x86 System which i use for playing Retro Games. I am getting the Error Message 'InitOnceExecuteOnce not found in Kernel32.dll'. Is there any solution for this or is it simply that mGBA doesn't supports Windows XP? Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if this is worthy of an issue on the repo or just a problem with my environment, but I ran into the following error.

Problem with sudo make install

I did some searching and after reading this thread it looks like an issue with OSX El Capitan. I should also note that when running the sudo command, it never asked me for a password, which makes me think even more that this is a problem on my end. That being said, I've never tried to fix an issue like this, so if anyone has any tips or has possibly ran into the same issue please let me know.

Thanks!

My specs

Audio is noticeably distorted/crackly in Gameboy and Gameboy Color games when playing on mGBA Wii v0.5.2.  Is there a possible fix for this?

How do I change the resolution or window size when in fullscreen? Actually I am using retroarch so the program only uses core files from mGBA meaning I don't know how to change anything. I use my tv as the monitor but my tv is old so there are parts that are cropped off while fullscreen. I'd like to resize the screen so that it's just a LITTLE smaller if possible.
