E] Crash fixed, will work fine in the next nightly.

Right, I know that, my deepest apologies, I'll test the next nightly build and then run GB/GBC games, if I get a code dump for some reason,  I'll take a screenshot of it.

Sorry for the double post, but has the screen stretching been fixed at all? If not, I might have to file a bug report on GitHub along with screenshots showing the issue.

I've been trying to get mGBA to use the same Saves folder as VBAGX, and no matter what I did I just can't get it to work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I'm adding savegamePath=sd:/vbagx/saves/ and savestatePath=sd:/vbagx/saves/ but know mater what I do when I load up a game my saves aren't there. Can anyone help me?

Are there any plans to let you select save paths in the emulator itself? I hate having to edit config files.

Can I see what your config file looks like?

Yes, when I do the GUI revamp, which I've started on.

I've already reverted back to the config I was using before I tried to set up the file paths. Maybe you could show me exactly where I have to put the directory text? My current config is:

While it's nice an neat here, in notepad it's just a big wall of text. Is there a better way to edit it?

Yeah, it needs to be in the [ports.wii] section specifically.

Try using Notepad++ or something like Sublime Text that recognizes unix-style line endings.

Woohoo! I got it working! Thanks for suggesting Notepad++, made seeing what I was doing wrong SO much easier! Now my game list isn't cluttered with a million save and state files, and I can seamlessly switch between mGBA and VBAGX since they now use the same saves folder.

By the way, are there any plans to implement separate stretch settings for Gameboy/Gameboy Color and GBA? Cause while my current settings GBA games are within 1% of their correct aspect ratio while filling as much as my screen as possible, Gameboy and Gameboy Color games are too fat.
