No$GBA Compatibility results.

Thank you very much Rockmangames and diablow. My "Emulations Options" are just like in the screenshot. The problem is pointed by diablow: I'm using "clean" (factory) firmware. No matter the version (original v1-v6 or even latest flashme v7).

So I assume Rockmangames were using his own dumped firmware after customizing it, as suggested by diablow.

By the way Rockmangames is it possible in your firmware to do the PictoChat trick to determine your firmware version? (I doubt it unless an "extract ROM" function were implemented in no$gba).

You're very welcome.

No, there is no PictoChat trick to determine anybody's firmware version with this emulator. I would like to know what the tool that can. Heh!

 

[Someone!]

How do I load the clean firmware I have?

 

[diablow]

You can determine the version of firmware by opening it with hex editor and examining the checksum at 0x6 (more info @ DS Firmware - PHWiki ). Althrough firmware version is not very important for emulation at this time. To find out how to dump your firmware - just use your favorite search engine (there are several different ways, depending on the what additional hardware you have).

Very nice project diablow, I mean I love no-frills info resources . Contributions about no$gba are to be posted on this thread, isn't it?

The firmware I downloaded had no firmware.bin, by the way... >.<

I think firmware won't ever become an important part of emulation, more or less an option and perhaps something to help with things such as connectivity or something. Plus I think authors would try to avoid using as much illegal stuff where possible (if not any).

I agree Low Lines. But the problem is potential game features being not accesible while not using the firmware. Example: Pokemon Emerald Mystery Gift cannot be activated in VBA unless you're using GBA BIOS. I know it is a stupid and useless feature in an emulator, but other more critical situations can happen.

i have been reading the hole six/seven don't know page's now
and i have an Question :
How or where to get the firmware from the nintendo DS ???

That is a big NO NO thing to say I'm afraid :s

But what I can say is that being "Loopy" makes you smart

You should not ask about "where to get the firmware from" because it is illegal and also it is saying in the rules of this forum DO NOT ASK FOR BIOS OR FIRMWARE!!!!1:angry:

I hope I am correct with this =]

If this was FP, I would give you a "Awful Spelling" icon

I was saying "How" or "Where" if i can't ask where then the Question is how !

 

[Someone!]

Don't ask the way to get any firmware at all

 

[diablow]

If you're planning to download the firmware from your own DS (this is legal), you can use DS Xboo cable. DarkFader has made firmware dumper for CF flashcards. There are many other options, don't be lazy to search around the net.

 

[Someone!]

G6 is a CF card?

 

[Low Lines]

"Loopy" is supposedly another way :evil:

 

[Someone!]

What? What?

0013 - Yoshi Touch & Go (E) [Control and touchscreen don't work, fully working in the beginning]

No, you only need touchscreen because it doenst need the control. Yes, it is fully working until you reach the goal then that's it.
