has anyone figured out GTA Advanced on this. It was mentioned earlier with no replies.

The game loads, sets up a save and then closes to the menu. i've tried multiple roms all with the same affect, any ideas to why it's not working and has anyone got this to work. Could it possibly be because i have the Gameboid lite version instead of the full Gameboid?

Thanks!

I have a droid and am trying to buy the full version of GBCoid. However everytime I click "buy" an error message pops up saying "server error". Has anyone had this issue? What do I do? I have the lite version but can't save. Is there any way to save with the lite version? I don't mind buying the full but it won't get past the error message.. help!!

Love all of the -oid emulators for android, they're all great apps!

Hi,

I recently got an HTC legend and downloaded Gameboid but so far have not been able to play a game for much more than 5 minutes without it crashing. Does anyone else have this problem or are there any fixes?

Thanks

Duggie

jasperwill

i like how smoothly gameboid runs, but i dont like the placement of the B and A keys.. are there any other emulators you would suggest instead??? or is there any word about different options?

cadillac6661

So I've downloaded gameboid and several gba_bin files and it ALMOST loads (a quick flash of the controls and then straight to the home screen) and several different roms but nothing will fully load... What gives? Really annoying. TIA yes I used the search function and goog previous to this post!

Hmm strange, no problems with my inc and gameboid. I know that the first gba bios file I had was the incorrect fill so gameboid would force close. found the correct file and no problems after that. make sure you are downloading the gba_bios.bin file. I'll try and track down where I downloaded it if you are still having trouble finding it.

klownin5643

gba_bios.bin try that one. it worked for me on the incredible. no probs.

One major problem this is my first post so If it can be answered you guys wud be lifesavers.

I been playing Pokemon Emerald on it. It works well except for the fact it randomly resets a couple of times an hour at least and freezes occasionally also... I havent done anything wrong but maybe do u guys recommend I delete some other apps which might be interefering with the free space i have on the phone or somethibng?

Andyuhoh

Lets just hope the next update fixes it, whenever it is. Or maybe we can contact who we purchased it off of and get a refund.

Does it crash like.. you will be playing.. then all of a sudden it will go back to the intro or the gameboy logo?

ffbistro

i have tried everything to try to get this bios file to work on my droid eris, can somebody please help me? it has to be something simple that im missing

SuperSix4

Heres what I did:

1. Plugged my phone into my comp and enabled sharing with vcast manager

2. DLed the Bios file

3.Dragged it into my phones folder from my comp(first unzipped it)

4. Uninstalled Gblite

5. Reinstalled it(gblite)

6. it took a second and went right to where you pick the rom you want to load up.

Hope that helps.

Hey all, I just got my htc legend and attempted to use the gameboid.
I've specified the bios and put the roms on my sdcard. The problem is that the app crashes very often, resetting itself every few minutes and sometimes reloading as soon as the start screen opens.

I am positive i have done everything correct since my friend has a Desire and we used the same steps to compare, his works perfectly fine while my Legend doesn't.

Anyone else getting this problem from Legend? (Ah missed some of the above posts, it seems Legend is the cause of the problem.)

Any fixes?

Eazail70x7

I downloaded this and then created a folder on my sdcard called GBA Roms and in that folder created another folder named Gameboid.

I put this gba bios.bin in the Gameboid folder. So I have downloaded 3 separate Pokemon Emerald Roms and none of them worked. Every time I clicked on it, it took me back to my home screen on my android.

Did I do something wrong? Or are the Roms I tried not compatible? Could someone PM where they found some working roms?

I am able to play games on all the other emulators except this one.

hekickedme

Alright guys I have read all through this thread and tried everything and still i cannot get it to work..here is my issue:

I downloaded the GBA_bios.bin file (have tried multiple versions) and put it on my SD card, browse to it in the the settings but when I go to select a ROM to play it gives me the error "Load BIOS Failed. The BIOS file must be specified in the settings".

I have downloaded multiple roms and BIOS files, as well as reinstalled the program. The only thing I can possibly think of is these files all being placed in a generic "downloads" file on my SD card, as i am doing all of this over the web browser on the phone, as opposed to being hooked up to an actual computer.

Any thoughts?

Gibbs

mine works. not sure what your problem is. i'll pm you.

deviouscreation

I've had my htc desire for a few weeks now, and recently downloaded the gameboid lite emulator. Got he bios got a load of ROMs.

Most of the ROMs work perfectly fine with no issues or framerate problems. However, GTA advance (like many people have experienced) wont get past the intro screens without crashing, Tony Hawks pro skater 2 crashes unexpectedly every now and then, and ive also had golden sun drop out on me.

Is this a phone issue, rom issue or emulator issue? I have noticed my phone gets pretty warm when running some of these games. Who else has had these games or others fail??

Also, what is the difference between in-game saves (which do seem to work on the lite version), and save "states".

acidarmitage

save states save at any point in the game and can resume in the exact same place without hiccup. its kind of like a "pause" button in which you can resume whenever

Can anybody help me out.
I've been playing Pokemon Fire Red on my computer, using NO$GBA for a while now, and now I'm hoping to play it on my Backflip. I transferred the ROM to a folder which has all my ROMS in it on my phone. I also transferred the .sav file to this folder. I opened up NO$GBA, and loaded the game but it started a new game, rather than loading the saved game.
Can anybody help me out with this?

I'll answer a few questions right now because I'm sure they will be asked.
I have used ASTRO to check, and they are both on the phone.
The phone is not connected to the computer.
I am able to load other games, although these are games which I've been playing on the Backflip the entire time, the save files weren't transferred from my computer.
The .sav file has the same name as the .gba file besides the extension.

Anybody think they can help me out here?

stilted

I just got this app but I can't find the bios anywhere for free. Do I have to buy that too or can somebody help me? Please? I just want to play zelda in the bathroom at work

Aaronneyer

I put my GBA bios file in my Public dropbox so you can download it.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2450669/GBA_BIOS.bin

stilted

Thanks a lot man but I might be a moron but I still can't get it to work on my g1. I specified the bios on gameboid but when I go to load a rom it tells me I still need to upload a bios. There goes 4 bucks I guess

koekebakker

Same problem here. Gameboid doesn't seem to work on the Legend. Hope this will be fixed soon.

Aaronneyer

This is just a theory but maybe certain bios' only work on certain phones. Someone linked me to a bios they said worked for sure but I tried it and it didn't work. I then found this bios and it worked just fine.

colebrandon10

Hey can anyone tell me wat I'm doin wrong I have a moto backflip and I put the bios in the settings and tht will load as if u had started a gba without a cartridge. But my roms when I click on them they won't work and the link from romfinder to doperoms is always download unsuccessful. I have androzip and tried unpacking the files even though I think tht maybe an unneccesary step. Can someone please tell me wat I'm doin wrong I've had to invest so many hours into this already I need help. I downloaded pokemon blue gold and red and none work maybe if u reffered to a site with tons of roms I use mobiles24

Aaronneyer

Pokemon blue gold and red are all Game boy color games. Gameboid only plays Gameboy advance games. Try download GBCoid from the market.

Tumaz04

Anyone Dload ROM BUDDY from the market? Is it worth it? It has killer reviews. Would I still need to Dload the BIOS?

dannyniceboy

To the person having trouble transferring the save file, there are a few things you should check.

I don't use no$gba or whatever but I have used VBA and there are several options when saving a game. You can do in game saves or save your state.

If you save a state every emulator treats this a little differently(I assume) so it may be impossible for you to transfer it.

If you did ingame saves you still might be out of luck, because the GBAOID I am pretty sure only works with 128 kb flash save types, now when I was using pokemon firered on VBA the rom default saved to 64kb flash. However I started a new game with 128kb checked and did in game saves and was able to transfer it to the gbaoid flawlessly. Also people who can't figure out how to work it take some time and read the instructions it is quite straight forward and the guy behind it has offered an phenomenal amount of support and updates for this application. His newest update even included a speed up function for RPG's to make those long periods of leveling up more stomachable.

Does anyone know how to do the cloning pokemon glitch on these emulators? I've tried but couldn't make it work.

mikey93

Dunno if anyone will have any insight regarding my problem but i'll just put it out there.
Basically after enjoying using gameboid Lite, I decided i'd buy the real thing, after purhcasing it, I tried using the bios file i used for the lite version and no luck, i just get the bios load problem, saying i should specify etc.

So far i've tried over 10 different bios files, and if they work on gameboid lite version, they still don't seem to work with gameboid. I've tried uninstalling both, but that didn't help in the slightest.

Biggest Fro

I'm having the exact same problem. Kinda making me mad.

can the you use cheats on the pokemon games ?
or anything like that ?

Did the update today and it deleted all my saved game states! Is there any way I can get it back? Kinda pissed me off.

Took me 2 hours to set this thing up and play tactics ogre. now i understand it, my first emulator unless you count a jamma board.

I bought the full version of this a couple weeks ago. It took me about two tries to find a working gba_bios file. I think I saved it separately from my roms or something. But so far the emulator is working fine on my Droid with no real problems with the program.

But some of the roms are off. Most of the gameshark or action replay roms I have found will not work, beacause they need their switch turned ON. I did fine Codebreaker, and it works, but I can't get a game to load with it, since I don't think the emulator can support more than 1 rom at a time, maybe.

But the GBAoid is definitely worth the few bucks to support the author of it.

gti18t04

Is there anyway to transfer saved games from a Dinc to a PC and vice versa. I have the paid version also.

Dan492

I have a question. Gameboid is a fantastic application! I am wondering if I upgrade to the full version (which I want to do) will I lose my currently saved files?

Scottus

No, your saves are stored separately from the app, so they'll carry over.

Dan492

Thanks for that mate! Buying now

Rob_A

a new update enables multitouch for compatible phones. YES!!

I hope snesoid, etc follows suit.

CheeseJam

I think it has always had multitouch, at least for my Incredible it has. Now, the lite version has fast forward (I don't remember if the paid one already had that.)!

Chidori602

i couldnt get yugioh gx duel academy to work with this emulator , other than that it is great

H0bbz

In Legend Of Zelda - A Link To The Past, the colors keep changing like this when i turn a light on, or when theres thunder.





Anyone know the cause of this? Anyone know how to fix it?

When using Gameboid and GBCoid, I'm not quite sure which is the correct way to save my progress in a game.

I'm playing Zelda:The Minish Cap, and at first chance I did an in game save, using the save sequence in the actual game (Start-->Save-->Link).

I also noticed that the emulator has a save function as well, that will save my progress in a 'slot'.

When I looked at the files on my microSD card, there was a '.sav' file and a '.ss1' file.

Which file is the proper save?

Thanx.

Bing

I bought the SNES emulator from the same dev, but refuse to buy the "GBA Emulator" as it is really a Gameboy Micro emulator. (Gameboy Advance should play Gameboy and Gameboy Color games as well; the dev charges $3.50-$4 for separate emulators for this, which I think is a little unfair.

Granted, I'd pay $5-6 for a back-wards compatible emulator, but I feel calling it a GBA emulator is dishonest.

Rob_A

Ss1 is save state (save anywhere). Sav is the in-game save
