VisualBoyAdvance 1.5a

[Martin]

I saw over at <a href="http://www.emufanatics.com</a>EmuFanatics</a> that a new version of the great GBA emulator <a href="http://vboy.emuhq.com/">VisualBoyAdvance</a> has been released, and it fixes the skin problems. Here's a list of changes:

<font class=post_quote>Windows:
- fixed skin problems on Win 95/98/Me/2000
- fixed right-click problem on Win 95/98/Me/2000
- fixed problem when Gameboy Printer was enabled
- fixed problem on Flash size menu not showing correct setting</font>

Forgotten also lets us know that he's made a GUI for the region creator and new translations are available as well. Check out the <a href="http://vboy.emuhq.com/">website</a> for the full story, and to grab the downloads.

The new region creator with the GUI is far easier to use.

/me is off to make some skins

 

[Clements]

Success!

 

[Clements]

I've got it now.

Here's the ini I wrote:
[skin]
image=Clements 2.bmp
region=Clements 2.rgn
draw=227,438,240,160

Remember use paint to get the x and y coordinates of the top left corner of your rectangle. 240X160 is the standard size of the rectangle (but you can have others I believe). Yay!

Martin,

FYI, the link to VisualBoyAdvance (above, and on the Emu64 page) goes nowhere. Just a heads up tp anyone who might click it (like me).

Nice job on the other site updates, BTW.

Found a serious bug, Super Mario Advance 3 - Yoshi's Island (E) [!] does not work. It's a good dump, so it should work. This screenshot shows how far I get before the game hangs. I've also tried Yoshi's Island - Super Mario Advance 3 (U) [hIRff][f1] (EEPROM) Admitedly this is a bad rom, but exactly the same thing occurs.

If there is a version out there that does work, do tell.

I use (0593 - Yoshi's Island - Super Mario Advance 3 (U).gba). It runs with no problems even with new 1.5a VBA. :emutalk:

Clements, can't you just capture the relative information (alt + printscrn) instead of capturing the entire screen? Or at least resize it to around 640x480. It's annoying to view such large pictures imo.

 

[Clements]

jjarmis- That's exactly what I needed to know! Downloading the file as we speak.

Doom- You know I normally do... ('cept from screenshot submission) but I forgot to this time. Won't forget again.

It's good with a little reminder sometimes, ne? I'm sure it won't happen again

Anyway, I know how to fix the problem! I was using the GBA BIOS file, so as soon as I turned it off, all my Yoshi's Islands started working. So, don't use the BIOS with this game! Phew!
