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

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..

Any idea's please..

Games seem fine, just the saving of the cheat...

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.

Games:

• RockMan.EXE 4.5 Real Operation (Japan only)
  
• Any MBC1M game (usually 2-in-1 games)
  
• Command Master (Japan only)
  
• Any undumped cartridge
  
• Tony Hawk's Motion + Motion Pack
  

• Any weird GB/GBA/DS peripherals
  

Hi!

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?
