Mario Famous....you do realize that this is still all beta stuff. All games are already expected to not work perfectly. Take your thumb out of your ass already. You have to know that gbSP and VBA are completely different emulators.

And why in the hell would ********...or any emulator homebrew dev want to focus solely on just one game? Remember, each game is coded differently...something working in one version may not work on the next and vice versa. Changing a bug in the emu effects each game.

If you were listening shortboy, this problem occurs on many games, I would advise you to thouroughly read posts before you go lashing out at members.

Anyway Exo has explained that he was aware of the situation, I thought he wasn't so I pointed out save errors occuring in games. Mabe knowing what games have save problems will help out in the future. I was also wondering does the save problem have anything to do with the new Save formats that Nintendo is giving games because it seems that many of the new games fail to create save files.


And to reply to that other smart-ass reply that Smartboy said....Of coarse I know that the VBA and the Gpsp is coded somewhat differently, I was just stating that it is possible to make Save files on the VBA hat doesn't save on the Gpsp. You can use these save files on the gpsp, I've only tried 3 gamesso far and they are MMBN 5&6 and Pokemon Dungeon Red(I've altered the saving habit of Pokemon Dungeon Red so you probably don't have to do this).

Well... alright. Please drop it all. ^^; If you wanna know how the beta testing is going, look at my siggy.

OMG you're still playing Zelda MC.. lol.. that game takes only around 4-5 hrs

j/k

[RunawayPrisoner]

Ohh... I just forgot to drop my old status. XP Zelda is ALMOST fully playable... except for another random and nasty bug in Dark Hyrule Castle. D: And I had very little time to play/beta test. ^^;

Why do you think I said that all games are expected to not work perfectly....

[Mario Famous]

That was already understood even before the emulator came out....of coarse you can't expect them all to run perfectly, I never said that they should either if anyone is trying to put words in my mouth. Well, I tried to drop the subject last post...I guess this is it then.

[Basil-Culex]

do u think he'll keep on releasing more betas?

[RunawayPrisoner]

I think he wants 0.9 to be completely bug-free or at least... stop people from complaining about how their favourite games don't work because... if you've noticed that throughout the entire thread, you'll see how annoying it is. It's not his fault that the bugs are there but some people just don't get it and they always go to him and be like... "OMG MAKE THIS WORK PLZ!" <= D: I personally think he works a bit too hard on this project... but alas... good news is he somehow fixed some games when he fixed a few other games. Just keep an eye out for the next release and I can guarantee you one thing: at the rate he's doing it, it may as well be 1.0 when it's out.

[Basil-Culex]

i think when he releases the FINAL version(not beta), it should be 1.0

unless if he still makes betas, the next should be 0.9, and if the it continues, 0.91?

kinda like how sony's doing with their firmwares lol

[RunawayPrisoner]

Except... Exo doesn't like the version as x.xx like Sony. He'd rather have x.x versions. Also, I'm saying 1.0 because... he's trying to make it look like every single game on the GBA will be fully playable despite how slow they are.

[Basil-Culex]

what do u mean despite how slow they are, their not slow, just have some crashes and glitches thats all

[RunawayPrisoner]

You may wanna try some 3D games, only a few of them work at full speed. Nontheless... Exo found a way to make this one specific 3D game run at full speed. ;) I guess he'll be able to fix them all afterward.

[GLiTcH]

i want v09 already.. lol.. only 17 more days of internet for me b4 i take off

2554 - Marvel - Ultimate Alliance (U)(Rising Sun)

Working unzipped....

I noticed that in Castlevania, AoS and HoD, the game doesn't save to the sram, Is this a problem with the emulator or do I just have bad ROMs?

[RunawayPrisoner]

No idea but literally, you can use savestate to get over that problem. And those games don't have post-game experience so there's no need to worry about a save file being present or not.

[Jelga]

Aker, I had that same problem with Astro Boy and the Minish Cap, but I downloaded gbata and it fixed the save problems. Hope that might help ya. :)

Bad rom. Mine (well, at least Aria of Sorrow. I don't play Circle of the Moon.) works perfectly.

[Aker75]

Ok, I figured it out, when gpsp makes the save file it's 32 kb, however, when vba makes it, its 64 kb, so for anyone else with this problem, make a save file in vba, than put it in your gpsp folder, and it should save fine.

[Mario Famous]

On some occasions the VBA save 64kb files right of hand. But most roms you have to patch in order for them to spit out 64kb save files.

Some save files that are made by the gpsp can only be read by the VBA if you use the bios with, meaning you just use the same bios you use for the gpsp with the VBA.

[Basil-Culex]

for some reason, i still cant save state ARRGGHH!!!

[Serpent_01]

nightamre in dreamland doesnt work for me..

[Aker75]

Bad ROM probably.

[mstrhelix]

i have no problem saving states or games for any of my Castlevanias for 08

[Basil-Culex]

it seems to be freezing for each game i try to save with, weird....

[RunawayPrisoner]

*cough* How about trying to format your memory stick now? I encountered a even weirder problem than that. gpsp wouldn't recognize my BIOS file no matter what and then... I just formatted the memory stick and miraculously, gpsp recognized my BIOS again. Also, if you don't format your memory stick regularly, the transfer rate seems to go down drastically.

[Basil-Culex]

hmmm.....its a pain, i guess i'll do it.....
-= Double Post =-
ok, so i transfered all my psp files into my pc, and formatted my MS, than i copied the GBA files back into psp, and tried saving a game by save stating.................. 4 minutes and still counting, and its still....saving?

well that was a waste of my time, i tried with my second emulator, got the same results......

ok....thats it.....oh well. i guess it was time to reorganize my entire psp directory anyways....

[RunawayPrisoner]

Wow... what's your memory stick brand?
