This is a Windows question. Other emulators can launch straight into the game via startup options added to a shortcut or alternate configuration files.

I was wondering if there is an option to achieve this in mGBA as well. I've looked online and through the forum, but couldn't find anything.

hello,

I had been playing through FireRed on mGBA and have always just saved through the actual game menu. I had no idea about .sav files until just now.

I saved the game the last time I played it, but now when I open the game, it brings me to a new save file. I don't know if my previous save got deleted or if I just can't find it.

I'm pretty sure that my file was the one attatched in the photo below, but it gives me an error message.

I'm completely a beginner when it comes to ROMs so any help would be appreciated

Hi everyone! I've earned 200 stars in Game & Watch Gallery 4. Unfortunately, to get the last 20 stars, I need to play multiplayer via Link Cable. I've opened two emulator sessions, but the game doesn't recognize that I'm connected via Link Cable. Please help!

Was looking for a solution to "unfreeze" my game. I didnt save and now I will lose all my progress unless there is a way to fix this freezing issue. Game froze when I started talking to an NPC. Am I cooked?

I've modified existing codes for Pokemon Yellow & Crystal to work with 2 romhacks: Yellow Legacy & Crystal Legacy.

These codes allow you to rebattle most trainers by talking to them. But while the code for Yellow Legacy works with mGBA-0.10.5-win64, the code for Crystal Legacy does not.

Maybe the issue is that they are both Game Genie codes where the one for Yellow Legacy is just one line: AF1-5BC-7F4

While the code for Crystal Legacy is multiple lines:
000-0BF
007-131-E62
087-141-C4E

And yes, these both work. I've confirmed this by getting them to work with another emulator (bgb)

So, am I making a mistake in how I'm adding the second code? Seems rather straightforward.

I've added the cheat file as an attachment.

As for the romhack itself, obviously I can't provide a link for the patched rom, so here's where you can get the patches: https://github.com/cRz-Shadows/Pokemon_C...tag/V1.3.1

If you want to remap the buttons on your 3DS version of the app, you can use the following key to edit the config.ini file.
I edited my button layout for playing Pokemon Sapphire to more align with the later generations (start is X and select is Y) Wanted to put this here because I couldn't find this on the website FAQ.

[number] [3DS button]
0 A
1 B
2 Start
3 Select
4 Right L-pad
5 Left L-pad
6 Up L-pad
7 Down L-pad
8 R
9 L
10 X
11 Y

I attached an example config.ini file for those who want to use X and Y for start and select. If you are going to download this into your file you MUST REMOVE the ".txt" from the file name. If you do not see it on Windows file explorer, go to "view" > "show" > "File name extensions"

What happened:

Pokecenter box 1 was full, switched to box 2 and deposited Dugtrio so I have space to get Evee. After getting Evee, I went back to deposit it and get my Dugtrio, but under withdraw, it only showed Cancel. However, if you scroll down, it will have 2 options that cannot be seen. Which is possibly the Dugtrio and Evee. When I select either one, it will give me a gray screen and game freezes

I have recently downloaded mGBA onto my laptop. Anytime I try and open a game the emulator closes. I have tried a few things but they haven't worked.

Is there a a menu to view all hotkeys for and assign new ones to functions?

So i thought that using the + and - numpad keys would raise and lower the app's volume, but that does not seem to be the case.

I thought maybe i might have accidentally disabled them so i went looking for them and I could not find any ways to view a full list of the hotkeys available or to assign new ones.

Please let me know if I'm just blind and couldn't find them.

I've been trying to get a few Pokemon ROM hacks to work to no avail. A few of them will start on the FireRed platform but will white screen after the title screen. A few of the ROM Hacks download as IPS files and others are XDelta files and I'm just lost as to how to get these to work.
