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
I found something new. If I hit the fast forward button the game will speed up and then resume at the correct speed. I don't have to go into the settings menu.
Hi there, just playing with the brand new version, loaded up Minish cap and added 2 codebreaker cheats to it and tried to save the cheats then crash...
As said its MGBA 0.5.0 on Windows 7 X64, No UAC in use, running off a caddy, all other stuff seems to work and crashed on the nightly builds too..
There are several products that would help the development of mGBA. If you would like to sell or donate one of these to mGBA, please contact me at wtb@mgba.io. This list will be updated as needed.
I updated my version of mGBA for the Wii, and while it has many great features (The stretching options are fantastic, it looks great!) I've encountered a couple problems:
For one, screenshots seem to be broken. I took several shots of different games and all of them look corrupted. I attached a couple of screen shots of two different games.
Also, when loading a save state, the colors of the game would corrupt and look just like the screenshots. I saw this happening with Ninja-Five O. It also seems to go away when the palettes are changed ingame.
Could this be because of the new visual options? In earlier versions the screenshots where fine.
Lastly, I wanted to ask about something that probably has no priority at all:
The GBC game Daiku no Gensan freezes in a certain moment on stage 1-4. This happens with most emulators that I've tried, both on Wii and PC. The only one where it worked fine was VBA PC, and GnuBoy on Wii (But it's pretty outdated). It happens while going up on an elevator with a block that you need to continue the stage.
I tried several supposedly different dumps ("verified good dumps" and others that didn't have that remark), and it happens with all of them. Looking at the files through hex editors, these files are identical.
The question is, what would you need if you wanted at some point to look at that problem? Save states and a SRAM file made with mGBA, I guess, but anything more?
I'm sure this has very little importance compared to other matters, but I just wanted to ask.
I was trying to keep a synced save file between my PC (mGBA latest stable) and iPod touch (gpSPhone). The SAV file written by mGBA can be read by my iPod touch but it can't update it.
I didn't find that issue with VBA - I was able to modify the save file (after changing the extension) on both devices.
I only switched to mGBA as it runs fairly well in fullscreen on my system.
Would adding usage statistics and crash reporting be helpful to an emulator like mGBA?
I see Dolphin Emu planning on this. Also would releasing builds with an AddressSanitizer help you find bugs?
Hello,
I'm using mGBA on Windows 7 64bit, and almost every time I attempt to start the program, I get an error message instead that the program has crashed. Here is the text from the latest instance:

My solution to this right now is to run the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 x64 installer and choose the repair option. mGBA usually works just fine after a reboot.
I've also run the system file checker (sfc.exe) and that found nothing to repair.
I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this specific problem, and if anyone can recommend a permanent solution to it.
So, I was trying to extract some palettes from a game, but every time I did it, the emulator just crashes.
I'm using mGBA-0.4.1 and my OS is Windows 7 x64.
BTW, best emulator for GBA out there. I hope to see a MAP\VRAM\OAM viewer added in the future.
Assuming 7 is HW_GB_PLAYER
Also compiled with a hardcoded override, but wasn't able to select rumble.
I'm only able to rumble in Drill Dozer, which brings me to the next question, is GBP rumble in Drill Dozer the same as native rumble when using a wiimote on a Wii?
SAV file from mGBA not updating on different emulator
