No$gba 2.4a released

[sigmax]

04 April 2007 - version 2.4a
- nds/help: added nds-lite case/joypad ascii arts, and nds-lite supply pinout
- spam: nocash-lite was posted online - new addresses in email.htm or about-box
- nds/3d: forces instant new gxfifo irq (if any) on attempt to acknowlege it
- nds/sound: fixed output to sample.wav script file (for diagnostics purposes)
- nds/adpcm: emulates nds-rounding-error, uses fast-pre-multiplied adpcm tables
- nds/adpcm: fixed clipping-bug in no$gba, and emulates real nds-clipping-error
- nds/sound/help: added more ima-adpcm notes (rounding-error and clipping-error)
- stat: performance indicator counts frames on nds9 only (=60Hz) (instead 120Hz)
- nds/tsc/debug: displays all tsc channel values in io-map (touchscr, mic, etc.)

- nds/firmware: forces def.fmw/wifi header (if firmware.bin missing) (downhill)
- nds/firmware: forces user settings [65h]=FCh=good (if firmware.bin missing)
- nds/firmware: fixed touchscreen/calib screen coords origin 1,1 (instead 0,0)
- nds/dos/3d: translates by w, recurses current viewport x1/y1 and width/height

[DarknessTear]

Works a lot better now. :D

[RockmanForte]

Works a lot better now. :D

Like what ? Give your description. :):innocent:

[liad]

all the games i have tried got ingame and most of them had a good speed
i tried ff3 and i could play the game watch the scenes and do a battle with an okay(not perfect but pretty good) speed and there were only one small gfx bug
edit:also you think that No$gba will ever emulate wifi?

[Raz]

Yeah, FF3 is playble, you have some missing graphics but nothing major and the speed is not bad too...

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Sound !!! w000t :D

Tested on Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney...still got that awfull lag when opening the court folder though.

Ill test more little later.

[DarknessTear]

Like what ? Give your description. :):innocent:

I dunno, I wasn't able to play many games before but now stuff like Dragon Quest Rocket Slime works almost perfectly minus screen tearing in the game. Also FF3DS works really well minus some missing parts to the 3D.

[RockmanForte]

edit:also you think that No$gba will ever emulate wifi?

Yes, he will work on it but not right now. Please ignored it for the future. He is work on:

2-D
3-D
Sound

That's all. No wifi for now but he said he will in the future.

EDIT:

Lunar Knight is now playable because in the previous version you got stuck when you met the suspisicous lady but now you are able to talk with her and continue your quest! :D

New Super Mario Bros is playable now. Set it to unlimited mhz, 10% and save options and neat! :D

[liad]

also the wario game(i think the name is wario ware touched) works completly with no bugs or slowdown
also bomberman works great

[RockmanForte]

GoldenEye Rouge Agent - playable

[Faehnchen]

Pokemon Diamond/Pearl much better is playable :) :) I am so HAAPPYYY

Faehnchen

[RockmanForte]

Lego Star Wars II - The Original Trilogy - playable

[darkmanwe4ever]

Yu gi oh Nightmare trobadour now pass through thje start screen, but is a bit slow :P

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Yu-Gi-Oh! Nightmare Trouabadour has been able to get past that screen for a while now...I still can't get any further after the opening cermony though and control get's turned over to you, the map becomes covered by a big green glitch just before that.
Yes it's slow...veeery slow.
Im also not sure what the correct savetype is as I can never get it to save so it may not quite be supported yet.

[refraction]

Animal Crossing seems to boot in this now (wow 2 emus in 1 week it starts working on lol) but unlike iDeaS this one has sound, but it fails to finish loading n comes up with a rom reading error before the menu.

[RockmanForte]

Im also not sure what the correct savetype is as I can never get it to save so it may not quite be supported yet.

The save type is: 64k

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Well then I guess it's not supported yet, because that save never loads eventhough that's what I have it set to.

[RockmanForte]

Final Fantasy - Fables Chocobo Tales - playable until you freed Big bird from the page and it stopped.

[Light Fire]

Why the no$gba-w.zip is from the 2.4 version??

[JKKDARK]

OMG no$gba is back :o

[refraction]

Why the no$gba-w.zip is from the 2.4 version??

every version is no$gba-w.zip

[Light Fire]

but why in the program it still says NO$GBA 2.4 in help>about and the NO$GBA.EXE dont change in size???

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Wait a sec I redownloaded 2.4....now I got 2.4a where it's been put on another site...rockmangames where on earth do you get the new emulator's so fast? does he send you the link before he says anything?

[DarknessTear]

Now what this emulator needs is to be able to turn the screens horizontally.

[RockmanForte]

Now what this emulator needs is to be able to turn the screens horizontally.

He will and only time will tell. :);)

rockmangames where on earth do you get the new emulator's so fast? does he send you the link before he says anything?

There are two options. He let me know about it sometimes or you can always check his site once a month to see if it is update there. That's what I did, lol. Miracle, isn't it ? ;):thumb:

[theguitardood]

How do I know if I downloaded the right thing? I used the link posted in this thread, but I don't see 2.4a anywhere on what I downloaded. And the Transparency is still there in Children of Mana.

[RockmanForte]

Yeah, the transparency is still not fixed. Not yet, anyway. Be patient. :)

[GreenImp]

Well I was gonna say this release had a very noticeable speed increase, but a couple ppl beat me to the punch. I think it's running decrypted ROMs now too, but maybe that was implamented in previous releases.

[Metroidmaniac15]

Ryusei no Rockman: Pegasus(J) is running much more smoothly. The 3D stuff still isn't showing, but the music and animation of the overworld is much better.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the colors seem a bit washed out compared to the previous version. And if I try and save it or if I try and use a save state it crashes.

[Gladiator@]

I think it's time to open a new screenshot thread :rolleyes:

[RockmanForte]

I think it's time to open a new screenshot thread :rolleyes:

I think so but again, people might used the crap like in 2.4 screenshot thread before. :innocent:

[Gladiator@]

I think so but again, people might used the crap like in 2.4 screenshot thread before. :innocent:

Yeah, you're right.... and we can't do nothing to stop that :(
Well, them it's every man for himself! ;)

[babygiant]

Lunar Knights is playable until after u beat the first boss and you go to some professor mansion(name escapes me at the moment) then it stops

[Clements]

I think it's running decrypted ROMs now too, but maybe that was implamented in previous releases.

Ya, I can confirm that decrypted images are indeed running fine now. Not sure if this is new as you say.

[Gladiator@]

Actually that's not a hot new, it's working since the 2.4 version =]

[Serio]

Too bad there's absolutely no change in the stuff I tested, but oh well, hopefully eventually they'll be fixed too. Castlevania still doesn't show any 3d, and portrait of ruin has a crash the moment you're supposed to create an emblem.

[coronamon]

pokemon is wotking with 50% speed inside house and 33%speed on outside
battle is 50%.

No it's not a miracle, I check the site like a few hours after you and the download is always still for the prior version. I can always only get the current version when another site I know uploads their downloaded current version. The actual homepage of no$GBA always only updates like a day or 2 later for me....

[DMzickNET]

Weee! Great! Now I can play better! Hehehe! Thanks to No$GBA! =)

[Injek]

wow no$gba really impresses me!

If the coders of Desmume , no$gba and iDeaS could team up... I wonder what kind of super perfect emulator we would have ...

[Light Fire]

i still cant download the 2.4a can someone gime a link to the new version pls?????:innocent: :bow:

BUG ALERT! BUG ALERT!
When i try to start a game from the firmware the game crashes specificaly with spectrobes

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Works fine for me...I don't have Spectrobes though...

[RockmanForte]

wow no$gba really impresses me!

If the coders of Desmume , no$gba and iDeaS could team up... I wonder what kind of super perfect emulator we would have ...

No, they are working separate. iDeaS author is alone working on it and no$gba author as well but Desmume is a team working together on this one.

So that will never happened.

BUG ALERT! BUG ALERT!
When i try to start a game from the firmware the game crashes specificaly with spectrobes

Make sure you turn off ...

Options>Emulation Setup>Reset/Startup Entrypoint>Start Cartridge directly and click ok and go to Options>Save Options. It will accepted the decrypted roms only.

If you want to use the firmware menu then you will need to encrypted it.

[vagos08]

Well done no$gba!Well,this version is more speedy than the the other one and finally we have SOUND!Pokemon plays a lot better but still dont save properly..:(Yugioh is a little more faster but naruto rpg2 still crashes when you select what type of jutsu you want to use.Now I spent hours playing digimon world ds whitch works perfectly with sound!!!:)

[DarknessTear]

Just wondering but does Megaman ZX crash for anyone else? I was pretty sure someone mentioned playing it before but it gives me an error and closes the emulator.

[RockmanForte]

Just wondering but does Megaman ZX crash for anyone else? I was pretty sure someone mentioned playing it before but it gives me an error and closes the emulator.

Play iDeaS or desmume for now. Yes, it does crash. We have to wait in the near future. I so want to play this too! HEH!

[AFK_O_o_BRB]

great the sound is cool too gj

[DMzickNET]

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Spirit Caller now plays better with me.. Harvest Moon DS and Digimon World DS too.. Pokemon Diamond and Pearl are now better with ~100% emulation in the house and battles and ~50% outside.. Can't wait for the final version of no$gba.. Hehehe! Can't wait also for the english version of Pokemon which will most likely be released this month.

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Well they are supposed to be released on the 22nd so yeah.

[staryuizalegend]

I just discovered the save state thing but wenever i load it
it crashes it sez 'the rom image crashed'

y iz this?oO

p.s i only tested this on pokemon d/p

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

dat is cuz dat is not supported yet 4 NDS.
It's only supported for GBA sofar.

[RockmanForte]

If it is supporting for nds then it will be in changelog. Since it is not in the changelog then you should ignored it for now until in the near future.

[Hiei-YYH]

excellent, the speed increased drastically in this version for some games :D

[Negativeone]

Wow. They keep getting better and better. Pokemon Rangers speed has improved.

[DMzickNET]

hey, whos the one who said he can load pokemon d/p? i wanna load my file.. Waaah! T_T

[Memulator91k]

can u save in NO$GBA?

[ShakirMole]

u can save in no$gba but only need to get the right save type which i say is problematic in ff3. Why u ask, because if u save a game and reset u can load that saved file but when u switch of emu then play the game again the save file is gone. Tried with 8kb 64kb and FRAM 32 nothing works ,maybe someone has made it work, if so how?

[txf]

I did'nt want to make a new thread for this.

I was wondering how I would go about saving/loading in Pokemon Diamond? I know how to save in-game, but I can't seem to load, or find the save file. Would anyone be able to help? Thanks.

[DMzickNET]

can u save in NO$GBA?

yah, in-game save.. just choose a working ds card for the rom on "NDS Backup Media" options.. For Pokemon, 256k and 512k saves but can't be loaded.. T_T

[Grzeslav]

Actually, saves are working for me.
In diamond I have Flash 512 and when I want to save i choose 16.78 mhzrealtime, auto emulation speed but before loading my save for example after I closed emulator-I choose unlimited mhz disaster 10% and vio la! Save in game works!!(not that strange snaphot or something :P )


In FF3 I have Eeprom 64 and for now I only tried that quicksave in game and it works! I can continue my game(all the time I have for FF3- 16.78 mhzrealtime, auto emulation speed)

Sorry for my English but I hope this post can help sopmebody

[DMzickNET]

well, tnx 4 d info.. have to try it 1st.. =)

[RockmanForte]

Credit goes to Dirtie:

For those of you having problems with save errors and whatnot - I find EEPROM 64KByte works with most games, it's only the odd one that I have to change. So set your save type to that, save your settings, and if you ever come across a game it doesn't work for, try a different save type and reset.

That doesn't work at all for Diamond...

[Grzeslav]

It is possible to load saved game in pokemon diamond

I will write everything about my method here.
In emu folder I have two bioses(biosnds7.ROM-16kB & biosnds9.ROM- 4 kB) I don' t know what is firmware and I think it is not important but I changed name of file that no$gba "produced"(from NO$GBA.INP to firmware.bin) I know it is stupid but I'm writting everything as I said before :P

Now- run no$gba and choose enscrypted pokemon diamond game. Go to Options->emulation setup, choose 128K macronix in GBA cartridge backup media and flash 512 Kbytes in NDS cartridge backup media. Now make sure you have 16.78 realtime auto emulation speed checked, digital stereo in sound output mode and high 44hz sound sample rate.

It is important now to go to options and save options

Play game and save in game from game menu. Exit emulator. Run emulator and choose pokemon diamond game. Just after first letters in game shows- go to options->emulation options and choose in emulation speed, LCD refresh Unlimited MHZ disaster 10 %.
Now you can load your in game save.

That is all. I hope it will work for you like it works for me.
Regards

LOL... this is really STUPID... :rotflmao:

[Grzeslav]

LOL... this is really STUPID... :rotflmao:

Hehe I know, I know :D But the most important thing is that I can load saves :P

[neutronbomb]

ok i admit it I went through all the steps and it worked.....but you don't need to do all that....

just make a dummy firmware.bin file from another file (NO$GBA.INP or GBABIOS.Rom) and it will work if you change the setting to "Start Cartridge Directly" speed isnt important....and 256kb NDS save

this is really strange..... nice find though Grzeslav

[alialiali]

It does work, kinda for me. I can save, then when i play i can go to the screen where you choose your save file/new game/wifi but when i try to load the screen goes black, help guys?

[DarknessTear]

Hmm, anyone know how to get Phoenix Wright to save or does it not work on any setting?

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

? it's either 256 or 512, but I think you only get to save once you have completed the first case...at least that's the first time I was told how to save by the game and it worked...

You mean in Diamond? And did you rename this no$gba.inp file to firmware.bin?
I'm not sure but it looks like doing this is necessary if you wanna load saved game...!
Today I deleted this renamed file(my "firmware.bin") and I only get black screen after choosing loaded game... Then I once again I renamed no$gba.inp file to firmware.bin and it worked! I can continue my game...!!

Gah...
That charade has gone on long enough - some poor fool might think that doing that would actually be a good idea. I can't even begin to count the many ways how doing that messes up various functions.

It should be obvious: get the real firmware. You're supposed to dump it from your DS (like I did), but there are no doubt other ways of getting it...

Phoenix Wright? You can quicksave anywhere from the menu - that throws you back to the main menu, but then you can load that save as many times as you want to. ...it's definitely a good idea to save a few times in the court: the cases are far more difficult than in the first one, so better save if you want to avoid replaying...

Off-topic: Congratulations. I've been here for several years, and only have... no stars? :P

p.s also backup save files incase u mistake save types

[AcethePuma]

well for me i just had to change the bios files from the two i used with 32 and 17kb to the 16 and 4 kb...now everything works fine for pokemon.

[DMzickNET]

weee... i got the no$gba.inp copied and made as firmware.bin... got pokemon save game loaded... ive been playing for 2 1/2 hours now... with 1 badge and 4 pokemon... highest at lvl 16... i also have downloaded a translation guide... =)

[arghblah]

it wont let me save on pokemon diamond... why?

edit: and i cant change no$gba.inp to firmware.bin because it says i cant rename a file the same as a file that already exists is it okay if i just name it firmware?

[Grzeslav]

Well with only renamed no$gba.inp to firmware.bin loading works for me.
I also tried with real firmware and it didn't work...

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

It won't let you change because you already have such a file in your folder, just make a new folder and call it backup or anything you want to..then drop your current firmware into there. After that you should have no more files named firmware in your folder and then you can change no$gba.inp to firmware.bin

that did not work... now all rom images crash

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

You have to set it to start cartridge directly in the no$gba options and the save it, that's the only way it works because the the other option actually loads the firmware and because your'enot using the propper firmware it crashes. If you can't change the options fast enough just delete the no$GBA config file and reset and save all the options.

Umm, not true, for me at least. It's working at 100% inside houses and 80% outside!!! Lol, i guess im just lucky.:thumb:

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Umm, not true, for me at least. It's working at 100% inside houses and 80% outside!!! Lol, i guess im just lucky.:thumb:

At the moment it relies heavily on CPU power so anyone with a core2duo or AMD-X2 or at least a 64bit processor will get more out of it than others will.
Or the graphics card...not sure exactly which it is. But it's obvious you have some nice specs.

[Injek]

I believe that it relies on cpu processing rather than gpu processing, because my friend has a GeForce Fx5200, and his speed are not much better than mine.

If no$gba could have a direct3d rendering using graphic cards, I think that everyone would get just awesome speed. But for now I guess that it's only on software rendering

[kuro]

Advance Wars: Dual Strike runs with some issues in this version. Sound works great, but very very choppy whenever 3D effects are being used on either screen. Basically, during the title screen, menu, or during an actual battle. It runs perfect when everything is purely 2D on both screens, but 3D lags it down to like 50% on my PC.

Also, some transparency-related effects do not show up or work right still. The selection cursor doesn't appear, the info box in the bottom corner has additive-looking translucency, the tile highlights for movement, and the day change thing all have graphical problems.

Also, there appears to be a problem with equipping CO skills. Rachel is Rank 2 but when equipping skills it says she is rank 0 and won't let me actually equip them because of that. Sounds like actual gameplay data isn't being emulated properly in that case still.

my PC specs are P4 2.6ghz, 512mb DDR400 ram, and 128mb ATI Radeon 9600 pro. Is my computer really that sucky nowadays?=/

The graphics in AWDS don't look like they'd normally tax my system, but it's emulated really bad. i use 16.78MHZ Realtime Auto, Digital Stereo, High (44khz) sound, 24bit truecolor, VGA poppy bright, Flash 256kbps (EEPROM dont work in this game). Turning off the sound does NOT speed up the laggy portions of the game though, but the sounds/music get really ugly sounding when it is running at 45-50%.

Thanks it really works! hehe cool
You are a german right? I didnt know here are germany, I thought I am the only, lol...
Maybe this will be a good day :D :D

O crud...BSOD's...(Blue Screen of Death) those don't have anything to do with emulators...those are your Windows Installation being somehow really messed up...don't really know how we can help with those...if you can try and system restore to before you started using 2.4a..although I really don't see how that could cause anything like that.

Well I am fully fluent in German Fähnchen but I am actually South African, born here and everything. My family came over from Germany about 5 generations ago and we have just kept German in the family since then. It's my home language and my 1st language.
Been to Germany like 5 times already though, it's an awesome country and I love it.

ä = alt 1 3 2 (numbers on your numberpad but keep Alt pressed the whole time...not sure what alt's name is in german, german keyboards are messed up :p) just by the way incase your did not know.

weee... i got the no$gba.inp copied and made as firmware.bin... got pokemon save game loaded... ive been playing for 2 1/2 hours now... with 1 badge and 4 pokemon... highest at lvl 16... i also have downloaded a translation guide... =)

yea - worked for me too - i got a backup of the firmware and it loads... but unfortunately while testing i overited my save game where i was 26 lvl and had 3 badges
:D

never mind - can u just tell me where to download the translation guide? or is there already a patch to translate the rom? never the less i read that the english game release is 22 april so...

hey, can i do a reinstallation of windows service pack? or do i have to reformat my pc? waaah! i think that blue thingy resulted when i transformed my windows xp to mac osx looks which i downloaded from freewarefiles.. i really hate it when things like this happen.. T_T

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

As I said try a system restore to before you used that transformation pack or do you need help with how to do that aswell?

[The Unknown One]

Wow, this is great! Pokemon plays really well right now and it should keep me busy until I get my hands on the actual game in the next week and a half.

[mazodan]

if u can save in diamond
how can u save in pearl pls help me

[DMzickNET]

if u can save in diamond
how can u save in pearl pls help me

use the same method with diamond.. =)

[mazodan]

tnx a lot can save now

[white x hunter]

It is possible to load saved game in pokemon diamond

I will write everything about my method here.
In emu folder I have two bioses(biosnds7.ROM-16kB & biosnds9.ROM- 4 kB) I don' t know what is firmware and I think it is not important but I changed name of file that no$gba "produced"(from NO$GBA.INP to firmware.bin) I know it is stupid but I'm writting everything as I said before :P

Now- run no$gba and choose enscrypted pokemon diamond game. Go to Options->emulation setup, choose 128K macronix in GBA cartridge backup media and flash 512 Kbytes in NDS cartridge backup media. Now make sure you have 16.78 realtime auto emulation speed checked, digital stereo in sound output mode and high 44hz sound sample rate.

It is important now to go to options and save options

Play game and save in game from game menu. Exit emulator. Run emulator and choose pokemon diamond game. Just after first letters in game shows- go to options->emulation options and choose in emulation speed, LCD refresh Unlimited MHZ disaster 10 %.
Now you can load your in game save.

That is all. I hope it will work for you like it works for me.
Regards

it worked for me
ps i call that a genius work

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

I call it having too much time...but hey most geniuses did..

[Grzeslav]

Uhm thanks I guess :innocent:

I believe that it is not necessary to change speed before loading...It looks like 16.78 realtime auto emulation speed woks well too for loading saves in Diamond/Pearl

This little correction should reduce some time you need to make it work ;)

[Memulator91k]

when i changed NO$GBA.INP to firmware.bin and i opend Pokemon Diamond my pc restarted
so i just used the real firmware, and i managed to load a game that I saved
but after i press the "A" button to load i get a black screen.

do i get that because i did not rename NO$GBA.INP ro firmware.bin
can any1 else try this if they get a black screen when using the original firmware

[DMzickNET]

yes... you'll get a black screen if you use the original firmware... :)

[Gamroken]

can someone help i read all the pages and did what they say about Digimon World but it still doesnt save in game, please help me :(

[TosheX]

man read above - it says how to read and load...

never mind listen:

after u save game, u rename NO$GBA.INP into firmware.bin and after that u can load and save and load again the game as much as you like :)

and a note: if u have a profile in diamond saved, and u wanna make another profile and overwrite the previous profile, the game will not allow you to save, so u will have to delete the sav file in the battery folder first and than start the game from scratch and repeat the steps for saving/loading...

all clear now?

[Grzeslav]

He asked about saving in Digimon World...Probably he can't save because he didn't choose correct NDS cartridge backup media in emulation setup...I believe for Digimon you need EEprom 64k ;)

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

^ What he said

[vagos08]

On digimon world ds i can save properly in FRAM32k or 512k.One of these two...i can't remember clearly..

[Memulator91k]

yes its fram32k

and i like to request something, i cant change the extension of NO$GBA.INP to firmware.bin
if i change it this is what i get
firmware.bin.INP
so can any body upload that NO$GBA.INP and change the name to firmware.bin

i am not asking for the real firmware but for NO$GBA.INP
i would really appreciate it
thnx

EDIT:

NVM i fixed just open it with notepad and save it as firmware.bin

[RockmanForte]

For me, I do not need to change and save it as firmware.bin. I do not want to ruin anything. I do not care about this game but i know that the developer will work on it so for my understanding, that is not good idea.

[Memulator91k]

i am not playing it either but im making myown pokemon hack and it will be D/P style so i needed the pc and the mart tiles and other things

[TosheX]

i am not playing it either but im making myown pokemon hack and it will be D/P style so i needed the pc and the mart tiles and other things

hehe - niice :) anyways u couldnt rename it properly because u hide extensions in windows... for further renaming just open TOOLS menu on explorer, chose FOLDER OPTIONS, go to the VIEW tab, and uncheck the HIDE EXTENSIONS FOR KNOWN FILE TYPES.

After that all your files will be shown in NAME.EXTENSION manner, and whenever u rename it with a different extension it will change te file type too.

[Memulator91k]

thnx i did not know there was an opton like that

[TosheX]

dont mention it :D

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

I knew it was something like that, but I had forgotten exactly where, thanks for that tip.

[TosheX]

no prob :D msg me anyone that needs tips for OS or hardware problems ;) at least in that field i know the answers heheh

[vagos08]

I just find a bug in pokemon diamond...When you try to deposit a pokemon in pc the game crashes...Can anyone try it and tell me?

[TosheX]

already tried - didnt crush for me... dunno what it is - did u try it multiple times, or just once? because if it just happens once it might have been nuthing...

oh, and what settings are u using?

[vagos08]

I use ultimate disaster 10% at 512k..I did it just once so now i am going to use it again so wait for the results..


off topic:toshex sign up to your msn to pm you!

[TosheX]

i am signed up always...

and i think u get crush because of the ultimate disaster

why not play on normal speed - game goes pretty well, skips a few frames but indoors its great...

[vagos08]

well to me it says that you are not signed up...


the game still crashes on ultimate disaster..When you mean normal speed what setting??

[TosheX]

the first one :D im kinda lazy in the moment so dont make me open the emu and read the exact name :D

[pikablu0530]

hey I'm getting the same problem too, even on Normal Speed. Game simply freezes when i deposit a pokemon.

What are the exact emulator settings you're using? ;) Your help is really appreciated!

[TosheX]

man just turn on sound... game freezes only because sound is turned off

[vagos08]

toshex tha game still freezes with sound on!

[TosheX]

post me other settings u use...

[pikablu0530]

see attachment for screenshot of my settings, basically:

- Normal Speed
- Sound ON
- FLASH 512kb

what else is different from yours?


PS. TosheX add me on msn if you're online

[TosheX]

hmm... seems to be fine... dunno mate... i realy dont know what it might be - i got exam week this week so i got no time to spare on game testing, to see if by some coincidence it freezes now for me too, but last time i played it i deposited about 10 pokemon in the comp and never had any problem... didnt try loading but u said depositing is the problem....

my only advice is to check your bios and firmware files, and also the rom

[RockmanForte]

I am sure your rom is bad dumping. Redump it then.

[maximumrisk2004]

I just tested Chocobo Tails yesterday and my Emulator freezes after I released the secound (pink) Chocobo. Looks like it hast something to do with the sound becuase with sound it goes a bit after it appears.

[RockmanForte]

Try to turn it off and see what's happening.

[pikablu0530]

I tried turning sound OFF, but same problem.

Edit: Solution found! Check the other post:

EDIT: As soon as i wrote this post i went further ahead (5 steps actualy :D) and my upper screen turned white, but the menu and all else seemed to be working fine... then it occured to me what i read in the translation guide - this area will have fog and u need HM05 to clear the fog. So i used Clear Fog with Noctowl and still the screen remained white, i entered the bag (so that the upper screen may change) and after i exited the bag the game was ok...

This means that the fog isn't emulated ok, and it has graphyc bugs with it, so instead of showung a transparent fog looking area or something like in dark caves looking environment but only white instead of black, it turns the whole screen white. And even when u use Clear Fog the screen remains white due to the emulation graphic little problem... but after changing screen to bag or pokedex or anything that will change screen, and returning back to game, the game settings have already changet to no fog area because u used Clear Fog, and since no fog will be drawn the screen is ok ;)
I hope what i just wrote makes sence to you and you understand it, for i wrote it in a hurry with no grammar and logcs arrangement :D

He is focus on 2-D, 3-D, and sound the most important. I can't tell him what to do. Nobody cannot tell him what to do. He know what to do and that's his decision to make and as I told you already. He work on this project alone and always will. :thumb:

hehe i know, but he probably will add those features in some of the next versions, and i'm sure he knows how to - it's like you said - he's focusing on the more important things for now and its ok ;)

hummmm, tell me your PC specs...
1 more thing: Well, NDS2xGL2 is a utility that wasn't tested properly yet, you shouldn't use it, at least untill some improvements, also No$GBA isn't perfect yet and you are already using another program on it. Wait a little more or use it at your own risk.

Wait, is that a No$GBA or a Windows error?

It is a no$gba problem i think cause it says no$gba fatal error..Well my bad for using it i didnt knew that is under construction the NDS2xGL2 i mean..My specs are Pentium 4 at 2Gz Windows Xp Home edition Service pack 2 geforce 5200FX

Well, if it's a No$GBA problem it was probaly caused by NDS2xGL2 and you can't do nothing.... Well, actually you can wait for the US version and start it again or try to uninstall NDS2xGL2 and see if the save works...

Well my bad for using it i didnt knew that is under construction the NDS2xGL2 i mean..

After pressing the A button the screen then goes blank. I already renamed NO$GBA.INP to firmware.bin and setting the nds backup media to F512K from before. What might be the problem?
