Basic Profile Manager for No$GBA

[UniverseJDJ]

I've written a program which should allow you to keep different "profiles" for different games in No$GBA.

It now supports all 17 main settings.

Installation:

Extract in your no$gba directory. (The latest build should work with No$GBA 2.5, and an alternate build with 2.4f support is provided)

Linux Users (Reported to work on Kubuntu 7.04 - Feisty Fawn) will need to download this (http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvbvm60).

It would be wise to delete npm.cfg and reconfigure the path when upgrading between two versions. If you have changed the location of the emulator, deleting npm.cfg and reconfiguring is required.

How to Use:

You'll see where you can specify each setting. Just select the correct setting from the drop-down box and hit "Write to no$gba.ini."

To load a profile just select it and hit "Load." To create and save a profile, enter the correct configuration, hit save and type in the name of the profile when prompted.

Before using:

Make a backup of no$gba.ini...

History:

* 5/7/2007 - New build uploaded (NPM.zip) (Adds support for Reset/Startup Entrypoint and fix bug with Sound Desired Sample Rate - Anyone with duplicate entries of Sound Desired Sample Rate in their no$gba.ini should revert to their backup, or replace the top duplicate entry with "Sound Mixer Volume == -12")
* 5/7/2007 - Path Problem Fixed (NPM_R2.zip)

NOTES: Profile format was changed to stop incompatibilities between different versions of NPM. All profiles will need to be recreated. Also, delete NPM.CFG before running this new version.

Hey, this is pretty good. Nice job.

[TheCloudOfSmoke]

Wow, you know what UniverseJDJ, I think you're on to something good. I've always wanted something like this for No$ but the author never (and probably never will) implemented profiles. It gets annoying to have to manually change the settings each time I want to switch a game. This sure will make switching back and forth between different games in No$ a breeze. I downloaded it to see how it looks and it looks easy to use. I haven't tested it with any games yet but I will when I get some more time. Thanks man, and keep up the good work. :)

BTW: Are you planning to make a drop down list for the different settngs instead of having to input the numbers? This is not a gripe nor does not bother me at all, but I'm sure that you know how stupid noobs can be. :rolleyes:

Hmm.. I probably will after I get all the settings working..

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Wow...someone actually contributing instead of complaining, there's a nice change.
Looks really usefull too.
Keep up the great work! :thumb:

[UniverseJDJ]

I've uploaded a new version which adds support for "Reset/Startup Entrypoint" and fixes a problem with the first build.

See the first post for more details. And thanks for all the support.

[Hiei-YYH]

the first one worked for me, but the second build...

ERROR:

An Error ocurred. Please ensure that this program is being run from no$gba directory and that you have created a folder called CUSTOM.

followed by:

Exiting Gracefully.

Then:

Runtime Error "364" :
Object was unloaded.

[UniverseJDJ]

Whoops. My mistake.. I'll upload another build..

EDIT: Done, NPM_R2.zip should work...

[sigmax]

Nice i will test it:D

[UniverseJDJ]

Has anyone noticed any problems with the latest build?

[ShakirMole]

1 thing i found is tht changing the value of startup point to Nds bios does not work
Few suggestions though
1.) Overwriting feature should be easier to access
2.) Deleting profiles should also be easier to do
3.) Interface should also be easy too
By the time u do this u wont need to do anything else because i think these are the main things one needs
And finally congratulations for such a good program using yer iDeaS well to put it all together

[avox]

works in linux (kubuntu feisty), for those so inclined. caveats: you need MSVBVM60.DLL, and it doesn't delete 'temp.bat' when you backup/restore no$gba's ini. that's about all the testing i did.

thanks for providing much needed functionality, universal. kudos

[Hiei-YYH]

it just need a good gui, (Scrolling options like nogba, just an example) the main concept is excellent.

[Mad]

With some little improvements on GUI this will be one great tool!

[UniverseJDJ]

1 thing i found is tht changing the value of startup point to Nds bios does not work

If you're talking about Reset/Startup Entrypoint, there are only two values (Start Directly and GBA BIOS)... And I'm positive it works anyway.. (Anyone else confirm?)

1.) Overwriting feature should be easier to access
2.) Deleting profiles should also be easier to do

1 and 2) OK, I've included those on my build. They'll be with the next release.
3) I'm guessing you mean dropdown menus, I'll be doing that for the next release.

Hmm.. I'll post it (MSVBVM60.DLL) as a separate archive when I upload the next release... BTW: temp.bat should delete itself after running..

I'll implement it in the next build (probably) since so many people want it.

With some little improvements on GUI this will be one great tool!

Thanks for all the feedback everyone :)

[Mad]

Time for a better feedback.

If you could make some tooltip when you put your mouse over the options, or make a help explaining what each features do, would be better, coz i cant remember what every option do, since you only input numbers like 0, 1, 2...

[UniverseJDJ]

New build released. I've changed quite a lot of things in this build, so I'm expecting something to be broken.

Also, this program is only for No$GBA 2.4c. I only just noticed that the No$GBA author changed the INI file between 2.4b and 2.4.c. That means if you just upgraded from No$GBA 2.4b, make sure you start up the emu and hit "Save Settings" first before using this program...

The drop-down boxes have been implemented.. But I've haven't added support for any new settings in this build... If everything is fine in this build, I'll continue adding support for new settings..

Time for a better feedback.

This new build scraps the old numbering system and uses drop-down boxes like the actual No$GBA settings dialog. So that should be OK for you now..

[TheCloudOfSmoke]

This is nice. I just tried the newest version out and everything seemed ok to me. I hope people will start contributing their profiles so that we could download them without having to set the game profiles manually.

Just a small suggestion though. Is it possible that you will add support to rename profiles through the program?

Anyways, great job man. :thumb:

[R4F43L]

Good Work UniverseJDJ :thumb:
I Will Test

[ShakirMole]

amazing work and commitment really like it
am just not familiar with which profiles are gonna be loaded if the name does not exist i mean like for final fantasy 3 if i use ff3 as profile name would it load that one? Just clarification needed

[UniverseJDJ]

You're meant to create your own profiles for games based on your settings (As different games require different settings). I'd be happy to include any profiles emailed/pm'ed to me for inclusion with the program itself.

Or do you mean, if you call a profile ff3, will it work? If that's what you mean, any name will work. Just make sure you load the profile into the program and hit "write to no$gba.ini" before starting up the emulator.

maybe you could do an automatic load (writing to the ini too) when you select, then all you have to do is run nogba.

[UniverseJDJ]

Rename support and the auto-write to no$gba.ini load on profile have been added in my development build. I'll add support for "Video Output" and "GBA Mode" and then make a release.

EDIT: New build is up on the first post.

[RockmanForte]

Nice but no$gba Profile Manager is too big for 800X600. My resolution is 800X600 and I like this way. :D

[UniverseJDJ]

Can you upload a screenshot to something like ImageShack and post a link so I can see how much I have to change the GUI?

[RockmanForte]

Sure!!

Two screenshots:

[UniverseJDJ]

I'll see how much I can shrink it by.

EDIT: I just saw I couldn't spell "Manager" properly...

[Hiei-YYH]

damn, 800x600 lol i suggest you to use at least 1024x768.


ah, found a bug, the entry point always save as "start cartridge directly"

[RockmanForte]

I'll see how much I can shrink it by.

EDIT: I just saw I couldn't spell "Manager" properly...

Thank you! :)

damn, 800x600 lol i suggest you to use at least 1024x768.

I know and I do not like it. I prefer 800X600 to my liking as always. :D:innocent:

[UniverseJDJ]

ah, found a bug, the entry point always save as "start cartridge directly"

I'll look into this. Expect a build with some fixes in a couple of hours.

EDIT: I forgot to update some things in the latest build. The settings for "Video Output" and "GBA Mode" are not being saved. Sorry about this. :( I'll release another build ASAP...

EDIT2: Found out what was causing your problem as well.

[Hiei-YYH]

640x480 and 800x600 are resolutions for VERY old pcs, your pc is not NEW, but not OLD, well, if you like... isn't me who gonna change your mind. but those low resolutions make windows look ridiculous lol

i guess you can't see a HD res video like this > http://xs217.xs.to/xs217/07270/dmc.jpg

[RockmanForte]

UniverseJDJ,

Please let us know as well. I mean... 800X600, you know ? :)

[UniverseJDJ]

Ok, fixes for those bugs reported have been made.

RockmanForte: I shrank the GUI quite a bit. Try it out now. It should be somewhat better.

[RockmanForte]

Yes, much better. Thank you.

[Hiei-YYH]

it's good now ;) but yet you still have to load, it's good if when you just select the profile it auto load and write to the ini without press any buttons. hope you can add this options... yes I'm lazy :P

[UniverseJDJ]

Oh, I mis-understood you before.. I'll see if I can do that..

EDIT: I've included it as an option in the Advanced Settings Menu.. I'll come with the next release (later today or Tuesday)

EDIT2: New build is up. I've finished support for all 17 main functions. The Auto-Write to no$gba.ini request was added as an additional option in the Advanced Settings menu. Think of this release as a first release candidate..

I won't have this computer (which I used to develop the program) tomorrow, so any new builds will have to wait till Tuesday.

And finally:

DELETE YOUR EXISTING NPM.CFG FILE BEFORE USING THE NEWEST BUILD

ok, thanks :thumb:

[UniverseJDJ]

New build is up. I've done everything I've planned to do now (Unless there are more bugs in this build)... Unless anyone has other suggestions?

[cyclonmaster]

ok, I'll give it a try.

[Mad]

Seems really great now!
Thx man for your hard work on this great tool.

[Hiei-YYH]

Runtime error '380':
invalid property value

edit: forget about it. it's working in the new version.


here, look at the video... it will show the problem... it's still persists.

RapidShare: 1-Click Webhosting (http://rapidshare.com/files/41921285/profile.avi.html)

note that i created a new cfg file and this error still happens.

[UniverseJDJ]

So it works in the new build? If so, that's good :)

[Hiei-YYH]

So it works in the new build? If so, that's good :)

nops, i forgot to add edit2 XD

[UniverseJDJ]

OK, I've found the problem.. Working on fixing it :P

EDIT: I've fixed the problem. I used ListCount instead ListIndex when saving one of the settings. Hence it crashes when loading. New build coming soon.."

EDIT2: Build is up.. It should work.. Though old profiles might not.. If your profile doesn't work, just open it up, change line 16 to 0.

[Hiei-YYH]

it just need a good icon now XD

[UniverseJDJ]

Hmm.. Anyone reading this good with graphics?

[eggie]

im working on it universe
ill get it to ya soon

[UniverseJDJ]

First off, sorry for bumping this topic, but I thought it would be inappropriate to create a second topic.

I've created a website (http://romxemu.110mb.com/npm/) for uploading your profiles. I'll also (probably) be releasing a new version with profile updating functions in the near future.

[leelaw]

can someone post other download link, coz i cant download to the given links

[UniverseJDJ]

Try this (http://romxemu.110mb.com/npm/NPM_R8.zip).

[=]Empi3[=]

Try this (http://romxemu.110mb.com/npm/NPM_R8.zip).

yes. this one works =D

and btw. Great Tool dude x]

[Zar'roc]

i like what people say about this so think ill have a since i have games with different configurations. Thanks for the tool UltimateJDJ!

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

I have finally descided to get organised an use this. I must say it's awesome.

Just two questions
If I load a profile does it automatically get written to the no$gba ini? Or do I have to press the overwrite button?
I would prefer pressing the overwrite button incase I just want to edit a profile quick, or just take a quick look.
If it does not work like that then o well, I can live with it as is.

Also is the run no$gba button supposed to work? It just crashes for me, what would I need to change if I should work?
If it does not work that's cool to. I just want to know.

[ShakirMole]

it works for me actually maybe download problem or something
BTW great work dude

[UniverseJDJ]

It's been a while since I've worked on my program, so I've decided to resurrect it and add support for the new 2.5 versions.

1) I have a working version for No$GBA 2.5 and I'll be uploading Release 9 soon (either today or tomorrow).
2) I'll release a modified version of R9 that will work with No$GBA 2.4f (as some people still use it over 2.5). I *think* the testing build I have at the moment works fine with 2.4f, but I can't be sure until I get a copy 2.4f to test.. (Can anyone help there?)
3) The host I was using for the older NPM builds (Release 1-7) went offline, so I was left without a backup of those files. I'd appreciate it if anyone could send any old copies that may be sitting on their harddrive.

EDIT:

New builds:

http://romxemu.110mb.com/npm/NPM_R9-2.4.zip (For No$GBA 2.4c and above -Experimental)

http://romxemu.110mb.com/npm/NPM_R9-2.5.zip (For No$GBA 2.5 - Seems to work)

EDIT 2:

I've found the old builds. I'll upload them as soon as my host has FTP fixed.

[teelow]

wait wats the point of this?

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

It allows you create game profiles and easily load them instead of always manually changing the settings every time you load a different game and haveing to try and remember what the correct save-type is.

[ozzgx4]

hey thats great, nice work UniverseJDJ :D

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Hmm it does not work with my old profiles :(
I get error code 6 when I try to load one of them. Error code 2 when try to deselect auto load. Sometimes also error code 12 when selecting a profiles (usually only the first 2 or 3 I select.
In fact I just check the new optimised profile and it also won't load (error code 12)

Using the 2.5 version.

No$gba also still crashes when I try to load it through this program.

[RockmanForte]

That doesn't bother me. He will improvement it in the future but for now I dont care. :)

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Rockman untill he implements it this is a convenient program to use. (although the current 2.5 build seems to have errors as I said).

[UniverseJDJ]

Hmm.. SCHUMI: Could you try deleting npm.cfg and reconfiguring the program?

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Yeah I did that (sorry for my 2 days absence...screwey ISP). No change.

In fact I had NPM in a whole new folder I had never used before, but nothing those errors still occurred when I tried to load a profile. Just switched back to 1.0.38 (the last version posted here a while ago...see my post on when I said I was going to start using this) and everything works perfectly again (aside from being able to launch no$gba).

[UniverseJDJ]

SCHUMI: The problems you are experiencing are due to the fact that your no$gba.ini is corrupt. Delete it, let No$GBA recreate it and then use the profile manager. Sorry for the late reply.

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Then why does the older version work fine?

Also I am sure I have done that once already.

Anyways I will check a little later.

Ok it works now...I fail to see why the older one always worked though, if my no$gba.ini was corrupted.

I also still can't launch no$gba.

[Hyper Shinchan]

Sorry UniverseJDJ, is it possible to see a new version that supports the changes in no$gba 2.6 in the future? Anyway at the moment I think that no$gba select automatically the new software renderer if you use the old ini file settings (like the ones created by the basic profile manager).
Thanks a lot for this useful utility!

[tonystuan]

What is this manager about?
Is it like a plugin or a programm that fixed errors und bugs?

[Hyper Shinchan]

It allows you to create different ini (settings) for each game and load them before start the game. In this way you can set the battery type before starting the emulation. It's very useful imo (otherwise I couldn't start directly the emulation, but I would need to start it from the firmware screen and set the battery type before starting the game).
EDIT: of course it allows you to change all the other no$gba options including some that aren't shown by the program itself, for example the compression of the battery file, activated by default that make the battery incompatible with others emu (well, there's also an header in the battery, but that's another problem).

[UniverseJDJ]

I've already got a 2.6 compatible version ready, I'll be uploading it tomorrow.

[Crouch]

cant wait for the new release

[tonystuan]

@UniverseJDJ:You will upload a version for no$gba 2.6?



I'll try to use it.
Hopely,it won't be difficult to use it.:p

[UniverseJDJ]

I just uploaded R10, which is compatible with No$GBA 2.6. It seems to be working after some limited testing. Try it out and tell me if there are any problems showing. Details on the first post.

For the lazy, click the following link to download the last version: R10-2.6.zip (http://romxemu.110mb.com/npm/download2.php?file=NPM_R10-2.6.zip)

[Squall-Leonhart]

heh, you can set your battery size all you like, its gunna save in a 512KB file regardless.

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Squall it works fine. Every game can save.

Well for 2.5c...don't have paypal so I can't get the new version yet.

[Squall-Leonhart]

of course, all games can read and save, but for the time i had 2.6 (about 10 minutes) it saved all my games as 512KB files, (battery compression set to raw)

not good....

[Hyper Shinchan]

Thanks a lot UniverseJDJ, I'll try it and I'll report (I'm an huge fan of your application, it allows me to easily bypass all the limitations that no$gba has at the moment).

[darc]

Thanks a lot UniverseJDJ, I'll try it and I'll report (I'm an huge fan of your application, it allows me to easily bypass all the limitations that no$gba has at the moment).

i also appreciate your work but every time i use the newer versions i cannot load my profiles("An error has occured. (Code: 6)")
(i started your application from a new folder so i think the older version should not influence th newer one)
the older version works fine so i'll wait until there is one with which i have no probs
and of course keep on with your great work:innocent::D

[UniverseJDJ]

Could you try opening up a profile in notepad (or another program) and adding some extra lines to it?

If that doesn't work, just compress everything (including the No$GBA files, but don't include ROMS) and email them to me. I'll have a look and try and figure out what the problem is.

[darc]

i am not good in programming or stuff like that
i do only make some experience with programms and search how i can solve them
so i am only the stupid user of programms others do
but i do know how to send you an email :rolleyes:
and thanks for your offer to help me

[computermix]

i also have the same problem :(

[UniverseJDJ]

I think that the problems may be linked to the bundled profiles, could you two try using your own profiles. I'll have a better a look at it tomorrow.

[computermix]

well, the only profiles i use are my own profiles
Also, the first loaded profile says Error code 12

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

Hmm I also had those problems. It seems my no$gba.ini had become corrupted. Well not corrupted but it seems to have problems using a no$gba.ini which was already adjusted once before by a former version of the profile manager.

So the solution would be to delete no$gba.ini and make a new one (which would mean setting all the emulator settings to your satisfaction again).

[Squall-Leonhart]

Squall it works fine. Every game can save.

Well for 2.5c...don't have paypal so I can't get the new version yet.

2.6 is saving battery files differently to 2.5 and earlier

use a hex editor and compare the 2, you'll see.

[darc]

i tried it again and after deleting all old files it loaded my profiles (to say: that the first time i klicked on load the same problem occured(line 12))
but after that it worked so thx (i think i have deleted the false object the first time:emb:

[leofranjav]

Very good application UniverseJDJ friend, with this saves enough time forming the options for each game. wherever, single I bring a suggestion to see if you can implant them in a future:

1 - To implement in listbox the function to execute no$gba when giving double click to the profile (it would work altogether with the option Auto-Load Selected Profile, you know one click auto-load configuration and double click execute the no$gba ;)).
2 - the option to minimize the application for not to have it always visible in the deskop.

This is for greater rapidity and comfort for the user!

Edit: excuse for my english that is very bad, because I speak Spanish :)

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

It can be minimised.

[leofranjav]

how minimised the application SCHUMI-4-EVA?? I have the versión for no$gbav2.6 and i dont see any button or function that allows me to minimized… but equal the suggestion of the doublé click would be good for greater rapidity :thumb:

[UniverseJDJ]

Hmm.. I'll probably integrate the ability to start up No$GBA when selecting profiles in the next version, that said, you'll still need to select the ROM.

[darc]

Hmm.. I'll probably integrate the ability to start up No$GBA when selecting profiles in the next version, that said, you'll still need to select the ROM.

could you not just connect the profile with the first game you open
so that you dont have to search for it again?
e.g:1.name for the profile
2.start no§gba (double klick on it)
3.choose the rom
and the second time you open the profile it automatic opens the rom you have chosen
just a suggestion which would make the starting of the game a bit easyer (faster) and more comfortable

Sorry...I made a mistake I thought for a second this was the thread for Nds2xgl and that's what you were asking about (I was looking at it just before this thread).
Yeah it does not minimise...however it takes no time to load either, so you can just open it load game settings to no$gba and close it and then open it again when you need it...that's what I always do.

[computermix]

i don't have the errors anymore, what i did was delete the .ini file, then went to options, save options. in the CUSTOM folder, i just took out the profiles in the folder inside the CUSTOM folder. it worked.

[UniverseJDJ]

Good to hear that its working :)

[computermix]

the profiles that come inside the CUSTOM folder have some faults, for example, the new super mario should be 8 kilobytes, not 64.

[grfla2]

Well as long as the game works on the larger sized save (some games, like contra4, don't), it should be okay, no?
Although the exact save type would be optimal indeed just incase.

[computermix]

i dont know about that, but I'd rather be safe and be saved

[UniverseJDJ]

the profiles that come inside the CUSTOM folder have some faults, for example, the new super mario should be 8 kilobytes, not 64.

I should probably include a text file saying that those profiles are the ones uploaded or sent to me by other people. If they have a problem, feel free to point out any specific ones which may be wrong.

BTW: If I don't respond immediately to this topic it's because email notifications don't seem to be working even though I've specifically added it to the subscriptions list.

[LoneWolfSpike]

Wow i haven't used it yet but it looks like your doing a great job...
Though what exactly ar these profiles are they just the confg files you get in the no$gba directory...
I use the same config for all games whats the advantage off using a diff one?

[UniverseJDJ]

They are just files that tell my program which settings to apply. The point of having different profiles, is mainly because, different games require different save types to function properly (and No$GBA doesn't automatically detect and apply the correct save type for each game). That said, you can customize many other options as well.

Yeah i get the point now
After downloading it i figured out that there are much more useful options just then changing the controls

UniverseJDJ we waited for an update of your wonderful program for the version no$gba 2.6a by the new options. thank. ;)

[UniverseJDJ]

I'll get to it soon, though my program isn't as useful anymore with automatic save-state detection.

[Tyo]

well, not everyone use 2.6a :) some stil stuck with 2.6 :)
by the way, it still a nice apps, i use it to set renderer option mostly, i like some games run on openGL an some that need speed (despite some glitch) to run on nocash.
haven't tried the new nocash renderer though

Your program continues being very useful, Because for each game we needed to form the options to the emulator and your program facilitate time to us with the profiles. :thumb:

I've released R11 today. It seems to be working fine with 2.6a based on my tests. As requested, I added an option to load No$GBA automatically when double clicking a profile. Other things you should note, the profile format was changed and all profiles will need to be recreated for this new version. And remember to delete npm.cfg before using this version (things will break with a old config file.)

Oh, and I updated the website (http://www.romxemu.110mb.com/npm/index.php) with a new design. I think it looks good :P

Download R11 (http://www.romxemu.110mb.com/npm/download2.php?file=NPM_R11.zip)

Is there any way to make it so I don't have to reset my gamepad controls every time I run NO$gba? This profiler doesn't seem to save controls but maybe I'm wrong? PM please.

[SCHUMI_4EVER]

The emulator itself actually saves control and other options, you know ....the menu action called save options....
This just helps you alter your options (basically just frameskip and savetype settings) for each game so you don't have to remember the savetype for each game for versions prior to 2.6a.

[ShadowDragoonFT]

I'm having an annoying problem. Every time I change the settings for a profile, then switch to another profile, the settings I changed in the first profile overwrite to every single other profile...
