Hey! mGBA was a real life-saver, it's given me a solid 60fps on my Wii. However, I'm having some trouble with .sav file behavior. I have an Advance Wars 2 rom and save file I ripped myself using my DS Lite, and while they load perfectly in mGBA on the Wii, it seems that the .sav file is only randomly actually written to. I'll save a campaign ingame, exit to the menu and immediately reload the campaign, but the save did not "take" and I load a game from hours ago. However, if I save over and over again, that sometimes seems to work, oddly enough.

It might be worth noting that this particular .sav file has been loaded and written to by various versions of VBA on Windows, and I haven't experimented with fresh .sav files yet.

I was using the "mGBA-nightly-2016-10-03-wii-0a791a2f7d20ba53f0b66afb671581805334c463.7z" version and just switched to 0.5.1

Using save states works perfectly.

It's awesome that mGBA is being actively developed, I really needed a good Wii GBA emulator, keep it up!

is there suport on Nunchuck Controller for the wii version of mGBA , how do i use it? if not, will there be?

I think this would be a nice goal for stable builds and nightlies.

Maybe the goal could be $500 per month.

Hi everyone I am new here, so do not have a lot of experience on emulators.

After Pokemon Go became popular I just wanted to see if it was possible to play the gameboy games online and then a website, which you guys perhaps are familiar with called http://emulator.online/

So have playing some of the pokemon games and saved the progress so far. The savefiles are in the swf.save format.

So I found a lot of these walkthrough videos on youtube and learned about emulators, so you could use gameshark and trade etc.

After a while with unsuccesful results I finally found mGBA and works perfectly on a Mac. So finally to my question can I use swf files in this emulator, so I can continue on my journey or shall start all over in the emulator?

Hi all,

Is it possible somehow using mGBA to trade Pokemon in Pokemon Fire Red and the likes using an emulated GBA link? Even if it's something as simple as running 2 instances of the emulator and trading with yourself would be very nice to have.

Hi everyone, I played Pokemon Ruby on my iPhone using GBA4iOS, and backed up my save to Dropbox. After GBA4iOS got revoked, I downloaded mGBA for my PC, and loaded the save from Dropbox. Then I played for a while, and used a save state. I want to turn the save state into a save game later and put it in my Dropbox, so I can play Pokemon on my phone and PC.

However, I don't know where the save states are saved to. What is the location of save states and save games, and is there a way to change it? If I could save directly to Dropbox, it would be great.

Thanks for your time. 

Hello,

I've been searching the net for a shader that simulates the dot matrix effect, but to no avail. I believe it's some kind of CRT shader.


In Pete's OpenGL2 plugin for ePSXe, this effect is also present (Click image to get a closer view):




Does a shader that creates this effect exist for mGBA?

Kind regards,
MotM

I just downloaded mGBA 0.5.0 to try out the GB and GBC support. Both platforms run ridiculously slow on my system with mGBA reporting anywhere from 0.5 t0 19 FPS. If I go into the settings Tools/Settings menu and click apply, then GB and GBC games run no problem. I have to do this in the settings menu every time I load a GB or GBC game so I assume it’s a bug with some setting not getting saved. GBA games run without any issues. If anyone has any ideas pleas let me know.

I’m running Windows 10 64bit with 2 Nvidia 980s in SLI, 16 Gigs Ram and Intel Core i7-4790K
