sword of mana

[Backbreaker]

anyone got this to run?

[Arlik]

I assume you mean Sword of mana for SNES right? I'm not sure if they did another. I might be mixing that and Shining Force up. I do recall sword of mana running quite slow of snestyl but normally if the rom doesn't work it's the rom. Not every case but i'd try another version of it.

[Backbreaker]

no the gba one.

[Basil-Culex]

No Arlik, your mentioning Secret of Mana, he meant the remake of the GBC one.

Well i havent tested it out yet, but i hope so today, on the latest version of Gpsp.

Also its THE ONE GAME I REALLY WANT TO WORK, but couldnt in the previous versions because it always crashed.

It's a damn good GBA RPG with good graphics and excellent gameplay, even if it was fairly short. I finished it in about 5 days of off-and-on play.
Don't know how gPSP handles it because...well...GBA flashcart FTW!

runs perfect on gpSP emu

[Basil-Culex]

seriously! with 0.8, gonna try it out soon

[[email protected]@ge987]

Damn, more download sources all have a crappy rom that glitches out during any transition.

[Backbreaker]

every time after choosing my character it always says "bad jump" and exits.

[RunawayPrisoner]

It works for me. Perfectly. (: Of course you can get past that character selection screen!

every time after choosing my character it always says "bad jump" and exits.

always, happened to me, gonna try it out on 0.8 in about a few minutes lol

[RunawayPrisoner]

I can confirm that it works perfectly on 0.8. (:

[[email protected]@ge987]

Lucky people. I still get "bad jump (xxxxxxxxxxxx) (xxxxxxxxxx) dual" whenever it transitions. Anyone wanna pm me a link to a good copy? ("I have the cartridge, but no linker).

[RunawayPrisoner]

Change the BIOS. I've confirmed that it's the wrong BIOS that is causing this problem.

[Basil-Culex]

exactly which one is needed?

[RunawayPrisoner]

The genuine one. It works for the USA version at least.

[Basil-Culex]

ummm whats the name of the file....so i can find it....lol

[RunawayPrisoner]

It's gba_bios.bin for me. LOL

[Basil-Culex]

what was the name of the zip or rar that u got that from, how about that?

[SeikenZ]

I found mine in a zipfile called ''cos-bios.zip''.
It contained the genuine bios files of DS and GBA, but sadly the link has been modified and gives us this message:

[sandman53]

It's not a bad rom you have, it's a bad bios. Google the cos-bios.zip

Either that or dump them off your own GBA

if you *cough* message me... I might be able to be of some assistance

[Sturmeh]

For those who still need it...

Here

But work it out for yourself.

[Basil-Culex]

i'm gonna try it out, if it doesnt work, i'll be going back to 0.7 and THE SAVE STATE DOESNT WORK ON PSP!!!

[stinky_mcpeterson]

every time after choosing my character it always says "bad jump" and exits.

I had the same problem

[RunawayPrisoner]

Use the right BIOS, please...

[SeikenZ]

Use the right BIOS, please...

Seriously.. I've had no problems with the one from cos-bios.zip. Sword of Mana runs just fine.

[RunawayPrisoner]

Some people don't use that BIOS. D>

[SeikenZ]

Some people don't use that BIOS. D>

Yeah.. it seems it's quite hard to get a hold of.. I picked it up just before the link was blocked.

[RunawayPrisoner]

Just buy an USB cable, connect your GBA to your PC and rip it off! D> I wonder how hard that is...

[SeikenZ]

For people who don't feel like spending money, it is...
