question about rascalboy and no$gba

pokémon is just really buggered in no$gba but it works fine for me in rascalboy

why dont you just use save states? theres already a shortcut for it...

In my opinion the problem of the saving in rascalboy is a bug. But do not worry, just press the "A" button while the emu is trying to save and its done! Also, if you want to use the battery saves is easy, when you save in VBA the extention is ".sav", in Rascalboy the eextention of the battery save is ".srm", just change the extention and now you can use the normal saves in both games (not the savestates).
I hope this is clear enough? I could trade pokemon at a rate of 50FPS with only 128RAM.

Ok, thats sound like a BIOS problem. Do you have the "bios" option selected in both emus (if not, the savegame wont load)? Do you have the "good" bios dump? (you know it because graphic are messe up when you load the game, you can find the good one at a site wich has the name of one of the most biggest countrys in the world and they do not speek english or spanish, guess) Now, try re installing Racalvoy an Vba (thats, unzip them again and delete the old files in the directory). Then repeat the process, if this is not the problem ,well, i just do not know whta the problem might be, what hardware and software are you using? W98Se for example was buggy with these emus, I change to xp and they are even faster! Sorry but I do not know howto solve that problem.
