[number] [3DS button]
0 A
1 B
2 Start
3 Select
4 Right L-pad
5 Left L-pad
6 Up L-pad
7 Down L-pad
8 R
9 L
10 X
11 Y

I attached an example config.ini file for those who want to use X and Y for start and select. If you are going to download this into your file you MUST REMOVE the ".txt" from the file name. If you do not see it on Windows file explorer, go to "view" > "show" > "File name extensions"

Pokecenter box 1 was full, switched to box 2 and deposited Dugtrio so I have space to get Evee. After getting Evee, I went back to deposit it and get my Dugtrio, but under withdraw, it only showed Cancel. However, if you scroll down, it will have 2 options that cannot be seen. Which is possibly the Dugtrio and Evee. When I select either one, it will give me a gray screen and game freezes]]>

So i thought that using the + and - numpad keys would raise and lower the app's volume, but that does not seem to be the case.

I thought maybe i might have accidentally disabled them so i went looking for them and I could not find any ways to view a full list of the hotkeys available or to assign new ones.

Please let me know if I'm just blind and couldn't find them.]]>

The specific problem is as shown in the image I've shown: the FPS obtained using a frame rate testing tool is different from the FPS displayed in the game.

By the way, I'm Chinese. I apologize that my English isn't very good; this was written using translation software.

If I only choose 2x speed acceleration, 120 is less than 165, so the smoothness of the game will not be affected, and the detected FPS is the same as in the game.

I have been using my wii on my standard CRT TV that only has mono audio input. The wii settings match that configuration as well.

I figured I would try out GB, GBC, and GBA emulation today. mGBA is widely revered as the best on wii so I went with that. What I found is that with the gameboy games I tested, the audio was still splitting through both audio channels instead of one.

I did try the mgba core in retroarch-wii and the audio worked through there, but wow, the wii port for that is not something I want to keep.

I could buy a y splitter, but my right audio cable is significantly quieter due to damage so that won't work unless I also buy new cables for my wii. Money.

I was curious if there was a setting I was missing or if it is not something that is common so it isn't included as an option to adjust in the wii port. Any help would be fantastic and appreciated.

Thank you!]]>

As you can see from the attached image, when a character attacks, face images of both the attacking and defending characters appear, but those images aren't displayed properly.

(I also attached the savestate file from right before it happens. If you press the A button, it occurs.)

This error isn't caused by a corrupted ROM file or emulator settings.

I checked multiple ROM files of the same game on a real NDS(with GBA compatibility), and all the ROMs worked fine.

I also tried many other GBA emulators, and all of them had this problem except for gpsp.

So I'm pretty sure it's an emulation problem.

How can I report this to the developers?
