    Playing gba roms with flash card

    in Other Emulators [/pc/other]

    Posted

    Hey! forget about the brige thing, dont buy it, just do a search on www.google.com for "gb convert gba"  you'll be able to find a program that can convert GB games to GBA Format,

     

    also

     

    SmS to GBA also possible with a converter

     

    and "snes to GBA" is NOT TRUE

     

    that's that

    Are you sure it's conversion and not using the various emulators around?

     

    I know pogoshell has plugins of Dr SMS and PocketNES(emulators) for sms and nes but I didn't know there was a gb to gba convertor out there.

     

    The reason I say this is because it would have to be emulation as the GBA contains two different chipsets; the GBA and the GB one. The GB chipset is triggered by a switch hit when you plug in old cartridges or when you use the bridge. That is why you can't just stick GB roms on a normal flashcart and get them to run without the bridge.

     

    If the convertor works though then I need to use it!

     

    If it is emulation then it will be pretty slow as both the curret GB emulators for the GBA are pretty slow at the moment.

     

    Either way I will give it a try :D

    GBA SP & Flash Cart

    I bet me left nut he got it from http://www.lik-sang.com/

     

    Hope he did or somebody will be getting emsleys left nut :lol:  :lol:

    Sorry emsley, you lose your nut :lol:

     

    I got mine from GBAX over here in the UK.

     

    Anyway ME! I can recommend a few sites that I know people have bought flashcarts from in the past.

     

    http://www.falinker.com/ - slow but won't rip you off

     

    http://www.success-hk.com/pp/success.asp - reliable but again kinda slow

     

    http://www.winsunx.com - same as above

     

    http://www.easybuy2000.com - can be expensive and slow with getting feedback about orders but no ripoffs here.

     

    http://www.micmic.net/index.asp - good service, pretty cheap too

     

    And last there is http://www.r1.com.mo/_backup_sys/EZFA.asp They are REALLY cheap but I don't know how reliable they are :D

     

    Whoever you choose you should give them an e-mail and if they take more than one full business day to respond then you know not to shop with them.

     

    If you got one already then this doesn't matter :lol: I haven't been on the computer for a few days, otherwise I would have replied sooner.

     

    Hope that helped you out a bit anyway, and if you need any help once you get your cart, you know where to come :lol:

    Dream scart lead?

    in DreamCast & Saturn Emulators [/pc/dc+saturn]

    Firstly, yes the RGB scart lead is totally worth it because the picture looks so much better for most games.

     

    There are a few things I recommend you check:

     

    First thing you should do is make sure it isn't loose. I have lost sound occasionally when my scart lead wasn't connected in properly.

     

    Next make sure you TV's scart or multiblock scart is S-Video scart. The DC scart lead is and if your TV isn't then you will get a weird mono colour picture effect, or no sound at all.

     

    If your TV does have S-video scarts and you are still getting no picture then you should take it back where you got it mate and try and get a new one. Or at least get them to test it.

     

    Hope that helps somewhat :D

    If you were a transformer

    I would be the one that turns into a radio.

     

    If there was ever a completely useless transformer it was that guy!

     

    Then again, if I was being attacked I could change myself into a radio and start playing celine dion and britney spears at my attackers. That would soon stop them! muhahahaha

    linux or windows

    Linux is good because it's far more stable than windows and doesn't have all the bloat.

     

    Windows however, has much better compatability for most of the things I do and the Linux alternatives just don't cut it (eg GIMP is nowhere near as good as Photoshop)

     

    For the average computer owner Linux is also not user friendly enough and installing it can be quite a challenge for someone new to it.

     

    Anyone wanting to try out linux for the first time should download Knoppix. It can just run off the CD-ROM and is pretty easy to use :D

    I am starting to think the Icarus Emulator is..

    CyRUS64 is pretty respected in the DC scene so I highly doubt it is a fake. Atani (who wrote DCGenerator - genesis emu) actually wrote a GBA emulator for the Dreamcast but decided not to release it because it would be used for Warez (booo we love warez :lol: )

     

    CyRUS64 also wrote one of the first legal (ie not using the illegal XDK) emulators for the Xbox. So yeah my bet is that it is legit and he will release it in a far more advance state than people expect.
