rockman where can we download dis release

[Luengo]

You can get the link in the emulation news forum. Here it is, though

no$gba - nocash gameboy advance emulator

[JKKDARK]

too late

[SCHUMI-4-EVA]

I just tested it with Advance Wars - Dual Strike, it now displays 95% perfectly, missing menu´s and various other things can now be seen...just somehow the bottom screen is always laggy, If I start a campaign anything happening in the bottom screen is laggy and sounds are slow and it just starts running horribly. It´s a problem which was also in the previous version.
Phoenix Wright still runs the same as before. Whenever I open the court folder to look at evidence or profiles, it becomes horribly laggy in sound as well as animation. Once I close it again though it runs perfectly. No newly visible graphics as far as I can tell, things that were missing before still are.
Yu-Gi-Oh! Nightmare Troubadour still only shows Nintendo and Konami Screens and then stops.

That´s all I had to test.

REMOVE ( I don't want to have problems. )

[SCHUMI-4-EVA]

True, I was just pointing out though considering there is new 3D support...well this 3D rear alpha I thought it might just support a few games a bit better, and Advance Wars does indeed look better, but aside from that I see no change at least among my other games.

[antikhaoz]

Hmm, could someone help me to make this emulator run DS roms ?, i'm a user of windows xp and don´t have the privilegies to install the drivers. Do i have other option ?, like finding certain files or something ?

Thanks

Oh yah thats easy, um pick your mouse up and make sure the mouse sensor bearings are working and open your case up on your tower and put your mouse inside it.. then wait for it to talk.

Stop flamming, not everbody knows everything about emulation,
If you have no desire whatsoever to help better shut up , thanks.

When i choose the ´upload to gba or nds´ a message explains me that i need to be loged with a SeLoadDriverPrivilege, which obviously i don´t have since it doesn´t works.

[SCHUMI-4-EVA]

Well considering comaptibility is not very good at all at the moment it's not really worth the effort.

[inforce]

gosh someone is mad. i was just kidding =D

[RockmanForte]

Super Princess Peach - Playable and a little bit slow and little bit glitches with Allow 3D Rear Alpha!

Megaman Battle Network 5: Double Team (USA) - Playable and everything is fine expect Rockman's body is some still missing and in the map is glitches and flash a little bit. You will need to use Allow 3D Rear Alpha to see the map! It's just starting!

Tennis no Ouji-Sama 2005 - Crystal Drive (JAPAN) - Playable, and slow and you need Allow 3D Rear Alpha.

Contact (USA) - Playable but slow and you need to set FLASH 256k.

Bokura no Taiyou - Django and Sabata (J) - Ingame then freezed.

Kirby Squeak Squad (U) - Playable but a little bit slow.

Alots of games are being increase. NEAT!

[SCHUMI-4-EVA]

Heh o well looks like I was right. There is increased compatibility partly due to 3D Rear Alpha.

[RockmanForte]

REMOVE ( I don't want to have problems. )

[SCHUMI-4-EVA]

??? I was negative ???

All I basically said is, I was right.

You need a new translator (I assume you are using one? English does not seem to be your first language)

[RockmanForte]

Umm... Wrong answer.

The english is my first language. I think there is some merit to the grammar-nazi approach; it keeps people from being lazy about grammar. In my opinion, being casual about grammar is fine. Being lazy about it is not. I might be one of them, heh. Really, it doesn't matter to me as long as I know my grammar then that's fine. See ? My real sentence!

EDIT: Non-Grammar and Grammar. Why I do this ? Dont ask me why!

Now, enough about this. Get back to no$gba discussion, ok ?

[DarknessTear]

Holy ****, if English is your first language you type it worse than the foreigners I know do.

[RockmanForte]

Hey, be nice! What is wrong with my english ?

Excuse me but this is about no$gba thread, ok ? Thank you. I am here in peace, that's all.
