Just downloaded it and have a few questions on the settings.

Am I supposed to leave the "sync to video" option unchecked but the "sync to audio" option checked to avoid screen tear and crackling audio?

Is the "lock aspect ratio" option supposed to output the proper aspect ratio of the GBA (Not the internal resolution, what one would actually see playing on real hardware)?

Should I change the FPS to 59.97 (native) to get more accurate emulation of the frame rate?

Is there no way to define custom paths for now?

Also, for some reason the FPS setting unchecked itself. Bug?

Using MB2GBA the game runs but white screens after the title screen.

EDIT: This is fixed in the October 6 commit.

Hello Folks,

I'm currently no good at these Cmake and make stuffs for compilation, I only use VS for compilation. but when I decided to compile windows build for Mgba it seems that VS support is not available right now  

so, I'm having a bit of problems in compilation. I'll explain it in steps : (I followed the steps at Github)

step 1:

Since the port thread has been increasing in no. of posts and my questions seemingly ignored, for some reason, I will ask here instead; this way, I won't clog up that other thread, so as of the most recently nightly build of the Wii port, audio crackling is present still, however, the RetroArch Wii port fares better in the audio department, but ultimately breaks support for 32 MB ROMs for unknown reason. On the other hand, the standalone version runs all GBA game sizes, even the large ones, but what I want to know is, will there ever be the same audio improvements from the Libretro core carried over to the standalone Wii port? I am grateful for this emulator, it's the best the Wii has ever seen, I personally don't like how RetroArch has evolved with 1.2.2 being broken beyond all recognition on the Wii, hence my preference to the simpler port, I merely hope the few minor issues can be resolved in due time.

Hello to all mgba users,

This test build is for wii platform, I've added a few and new options from command line.
Also, I added endrift's fix for audio crackling.

New to this emulator too:
-Set aspect ratio to 3:2 on 4:3 video, looks like a GBA Player on old CRT TV -yeah I get one.
-Load 32 MB roms on memory.

These new options are from arguments:
-Auto load game
-Send custom button for A,B,L,R in Classic Controller
-Set filter mode to: Unfilter, Filter, Filter Sharp and Filter Soft

So you need a Front end to use it, like Wiiflow or from meta.xml file something like this:

Hi there

Is it possible to offer native scaling in mGBA, like the Dolphin does it for GC and Wii games ?

As the title implies, there's this weird white flickering going on while playing games (tested Mega Man Zero 2, Metroid Fusion, and Pokemon FireRed) on the Ubuntu port. I'm using the latest stable build (0.3.0).

Just found out about this, and I have to say I am quite impressed at how well the performance is on Wii - I honestly thought that VBA GX/VBA Next was as good as it's gonna get.

I understand this emulator is still in its very early stages (which is actually amazing considering how the performance is already better than VBA GX), so I just thought I would suggest some possible features for future releases.

* Brightness Control/Gamma Correction - as we all know, most GBA games were made with very bright colors so that they could be seen on the original unlit GBA. Both the Game Boy Player and the Wii U Virtual Console somewhat compensates for this by darkening the image a little - it would be nice to have that option for this emulator as well

* libwiigui - just for continuity/similarity with other emulators like Snes9xGx and FCEUGx. I can understand if this might not be feasible however if it takes up too much memory and could hinder game performance.

* custom button configurations - self-explanatory (apologies if this has already been implemented)

* custom border support - y'know, like the ones that the GB Player had on the GameCube.

* screen size options - right now it seems to default to 4:3, which is not the GBA aspect ratio (3:2). Also the edges are currently cutoff on CRT's.

* 240p support - for CRT users

* this one is rather ridiculous and I'm not sure if it's even possible, but it would still be cool nonetheless:
GBA-to-GCN adapter support? On the GB Player, you could use an actual GBA as a controller if you had the GBA-to-GCN adapter (you had to turn on the GBA and hold start on it while it's connected to the GCN).

Are you planning on making mGBA emulate the Game Boy line as well? Or are you simply aiming for a near perfect GBA emulator?
Also would it help you if someone compiled a compatibility list and if yes how would you like it organised?

When using the OpenGL video renderer and either 57FPS or 60FPS, the video stutters a lot like it's very frequently skipping frames/displaying frames for too long. I assume this is the program conflicting with the compositor under Windows 10.

The Software Renderer doesn't work, or to be more precise it seems the FPS Target is artificially limited to sub 1FPS? Holding Turbo button increases the frame rate of it to over 1,000FPS. Messing with the Target FPS or Frame Rate setting doesn't affect it.

When running v0.30 after upgrading from 0.20 by deleting everything in only the MGBA folder and then installing MGBA 0.30, the FPS Target seems to be sub 1FPS even though the FPS Target setting is visibly set to 57FPS. Settings, had the Frame Rate set to 0.1FPS for some reason. I assume there is a config file not located in the MGBA folder and the new version probably misread the outdated config file. Setting the Frame Rate to 57FPS fixed the frame rate of the OpenGL video renderer. In this particular isntance, adjusting the Target FPS setting would NOT update the Frame Rate setting until after I manually adjusted the Frame Rate setting my self.
