i just downloaded mGBA, this is the first pc emulator i've ever used, so im sorry if this question has an easy answer and i just don't realize.

i downloaded a sapphire randomizer and can't get my keyboard to work with it, do i need to use a controller to play the emulator and that's why it's not working? or am i missing something else. also not sure how to input cheat codes ^^'

I'm kind of embarassed to be asking this here and it's probably a dumb question, but I can't get my screen back to normal. I was playing radical red, missclicked on something on my keyboard and it made the emulator become a permanent fullscreen, just like in pic related.

I didn't click on anything in the configurations, it really was something I pressed on my keyboard while playing the game and now the screen just doesn't change back to normal anymore. When I load a rom, the emulator hides the top white part of the screen on the print with the options and you can't even access them anymore.

I already deleted and dowloaded it again but nothing changes, Anyone can help me out?

Im very new to the emulating scene and wanted to know where i could find these ".sav" files which contain save data for my games?

Ive been playing Wario Land 4 (Because of Pizza Tower) and each time i boot up the ROM through my downloads, all the saves appear empty. So i have to rush through the levels to get where i was at before, Maybe i could be a WL4 speedrunner, heheh. Jokes aside, the game sure is fun to replay but i want to continue progressing through the game.

If someone could help me with this, it would be much appreciated.

It really does. Up to three trigger presses to select an action, and if you do one more it's four more.

I had an idea for a better scheme: triggers work when held, not pressed. Press the back bro's button while holding R to bros. jump, press either bro's button while holding L to hammer with that bro, and press either bro's button while holding L and R to hand with that bro. While I'm at it, A always controls Mario and B always Luigi regardless of who's in front, just like in battle.

My ideal romhack would be this control scheme in the Japanese version with European language options. I'd even take a crack at it had I the executive capacity; the GBA is a fascinating little machine.

Question I keep getting rng clones here and there when doing 8x instances for soft resets for charmander in fire red and leaf green how do I stop that completely in mgba?

Hi,

I play Castlevania Aria of Sorrow (E) (Eurasia).
The game freezes suddenly if I kill an enemy.
Now it freezes if I go through a room.
So I can't end the game.

Hey There, I have a new ROG ally that I've set up with EmuDeck. I'm not new to emulation but I am new to EmuDeck and emulation station. I've started setting up mGBA and I can run the games just fine but I can't seem to change the controller layout. I've changed it from MGBA's settings multiple different ways and it works as expected if I open the room from mgba, but if I launch through emulation station I believe retroarch is overriding the controls. Is there any way I can have retroarch use the controls I've specified in MGBA or set the controls in retroarch as well? Happy to provide more information. Thanks!

Unusually, the Japanese release of M&L:SS happened _after_ that in the rest of the world, and they fixed some bugs, touched up some visuals, and added some more Italian gibberish. So what I'm seeking is the Japanese version of the game, but with European text and language options. Does such a thing exist?

I have the latest release, on macOS 15.1.1, with a GameSir T4 Kaleid. When I enable Player features and turn rumble on in M&L:SS, controller keeps rumbling until I close the game. Just, constant, numbing the hands, additional rumble events have no effect.

I remember about a year ago, I played on a Linux machine with some e-waste USB controller and didn't have this issue. There are many things that could be causing this; anyone have any idea?

I asked chatgpt earlier how I can activate the hacks (all Pokémon in the wild should be shiny) but every time I save the hack and then restart mgba and then load the hack it never works or the hack code is no longer in the list, can someone help me personally, for example via discord???
