Boktai problems

[Midnight C]

I used to be able to play this without this problem but I get the message of "Solar Lens is broken" and it stops playing so anybody can help?

Known problem because most GBA emulator have trouble emulating the Real Time Clock properly. These might help, but I'm not sure: http://bubbz.pocketheaven.com/?system=gba&section=patch

boktai has a special sensor to acquire light from the environment and that helps power some of the in-game tools. since emulators don't have a way to measure light, it's hard to emulate it

There is a patch to emulate the Sensor with L+directional pad, get it here...

So do I just unzip the patch and merge it with the rom or just stick it in the rom folder?

 

[Agozer]

Unzip the patch and use an IPS patcher to apply it to the rom image.

Or if you can't be bothered with that, use VBA's automatic IPS patching feature.

Hey,

I've also used the patch to play the Boktai games. The first game always worked fine for me, however, it's sequel "Solar Boy Django" had a bug in the patch where every time you entered a room, the sun guage would go to zero again. This made some things, like solar forging, almost impossible.

You could just put a cheat in to have maximum Sun light.

The guns disable after a while with sun light maxed out, it was a way they have the kids out of bad sun exposure.
