Hey guys i have read tons and tons regarding gameboid and all the youtube tutorials. However i cant seem to get gameboid to work on my android phone (i9000 samsung galaxy S). i have downloaded gamboid (tried both the lite version and the paid version) and placed the bios file everytime.

After specifying the location of the bios there are no warnings or problem but when i try to 'select rom' to load, the screen just goes blank for a few seconds and returns to the 'select rom' page.

i have been trying to load pokemon emerald but have not been successful. Pls help someone i dono what is wrong. (PS the bios i use and the rom i use works fine with emulators on my PC)

I downloaded and copied the .bin file to my HTC Evo, however the program file browser does not have the file architecture as my PC file browser, and can't therefore find the correct folder to drop it in. Please help!

Android Idiot

I got the emulater btu I can't get any games to work I'm new to this anbody able to help me

mazdapunk87

Just installed the bios file on my mytouch slide and had no problems....maybe I just got lucky .lol

thekarens

The easy route is to buy Rom Buddy and you can get both the bios file and roms from that. Or you can do it like I did and google for the bios bin and toss it onto your SD card. I didn't put it any place special. I did make a file for my roms and I put my roms in there, but the bios bin is just on the sd card, not in any particular folder.

This is an awesome ROM source if anyone needs one

Hi, is there a way to get/purchase this app if it is not available for purchase in my country?

I installed Gameboid Emulator with no problem and I installed the Bios and a handfull of games. I've only tried 6 games so far. 4 of them worked flawlessly. But 2 of them would not open/start at all. My question is simply if those games didn't work, but the rest did and they all come from the same source (coolroms), does that mean those games just aren't going to work or is it possible that the ROM is bad and should I try downloading those games from a different ROM source and see if they work?

I guess my more general question is just are there some games that just won't work on the phone regardless of how good the emulator is just because of certain system limitations or whatever?
Thanks for any info!

does anyone know how 2 get dragon ball z legacy of goku to work when ever u go to the world map is messes up

Jammy

Try them on an emulator on your computer.

If it doesn't work, it's the ROMs, in which case, getting them from another source may work.

I've got GameBoid up and running great on my Droid Incredible but have run into a serious issue with Metroid Fusion.

I have to shoot a rocket up. So I have to press up, R for missiles, and B to shoot.... I can only get 2 "multi-touchs" not 3.... any solutions?

(And if I'm not ******ed and it really only is a max of 2 multitouchs then multi is decieving and it should be coupletouch)

gordon1hd1

Map your volume key as a input key(s). I get around the multi-input issue on my EVO playing Megaman soccer by mapping the up volume key as both L & R key, then press shoot to trigger special move.

The BIOS file wouldn't have to be torrented would it? I'm googling it and am having zero succes.

Megamustaine

You must struggle with googling then...but has anyone gotten golden sun 2 to work?

bluekornchips

Androidia Backflip

bluekornchips

klownin5643

i have a mytouch 3g and ive done everything this forum has said to get the gameboid gba to work and still the only thing im getting is load bios failed.

I have a folder with the bios and rom r thr only things in it i go to settings and set bios to there and it still doesnt work. Is it because i have a mytouch? Or is there something wrong i missed?

admiral ackpoux

if anyone can help when i load the emulator and put the bios on my sd card none of my gba roms show but instead my genisis roms can anyone help

jayk32

Just wanted 2 say this is a great app, much better than playing it on the iPhone. Android rocks, LOL yeah mate!!! ;-)

jayk32

Just Google it, that's wat I did. Google is the best tool u can use!!

jayk32

I'm sooo happy I came 2 Android!! ;-)
Just saying!!

admiral ackpoux

has anyone found a kingdom hearts- chain of memories rom that works every i have tried will get about 15 seconds into a cut scene then stop and fail, has anyone found one that works? if so could you please let me get a link or a site that works, thanks in advance

Rath1555

when the game freeze just hit menu and quick save and then load the game again. and it will continue the cut scene.

it works for me

jasperwill

good to know but only works if you have the paid version of the app.

-I should problably support my developer huh?
-maybe if i do he will fix this irritating bug.

This is a bug on the end of the game developer, and not a bug at all. They programmed the game to die at that cut scene on any device that is not a legitimate game boy advance.

jasperwill

thanks for clearing that up for me. i thought it was odd that a bug like that hadn't been fixed yet.

Intervenient

No problem. An easy way to fix it is to play past that part on an emulator on your computer, and it's completely playable from that point. Enjoy

paiboon2002

Or your wallet.

jasperwill

bought it, dont know how i was supposed to transfer the saved state from the comp to my phone (assuming different emulators) anyway.

Spitfire Riggz

Hey guys ive been searching like crazy. Many people have been having trouble with the built in cheat function. Im not new to gba emulators or gameshark, the same exact cheats i use on the computer dont work on the gameboid. Pokemon emerald so you know. Any Help? Ive found that if you go to button mapping at the very bottom theres an option for gameshark button. Doesnt do anything when i push it though. Any help? I just dont wanna keep having to do the cheat on the computer and transferring back to my g1 thanks

guardianangel3290

Is there a way to trade pokemon using the Gameboid? I'm pissed that some of them require you to trade in order to get them.
(I'm using pokemon emerald)

Nate0922

I've also been having trouble with Golden Sun. Worked fine for the first couple hours but then started giving me problems. Getting close to a wall in some dungeons causes a small section of the wall near me to disappear. I've now hit a spot where it crashes every time and cannot go any further (ice dungeon after getting the Mia character, during the small scene immediately after the Djinn battle).

I downloaded a new rom file but that didnt seem to help either. Any suggestions?

Flaring Afro

No and unfortunately, there's never been a code for gameshark, action replay, etc that makes a pokemon evolve that would have from a trade either. You could use a code to catch an Alakazam, etc in the wild though. Also, I have heard there is a way to put the save file on your computer and make it run on vga, which i believe does let you trade.

^^ i jus hacked the .sav file using a program and loaded up my pokedex n all that.. party of 6 mew etc... all before i beat the first gym haha

guardianangel3290

Can someone type out some instructions on how to use the gameshark codes? preferably for pokemon haha

Yoak

I don't understand how to work this! Could someone PM me the instructions or something? I downloaded roms from the website they gave me, but it didn't have the bios. I don't remember bios being needed on emulators or anything before. I just downloaded the roms and it worked.

StLouis

Most emulators come with a bios when you download them. This one doesn't, so you have to find one yourself. Google knows where to look:
gba bios file - Google Search - First link

ShortSoldier

Does anyone know how to access the settings once you've configured then once before. I want to change my button layout and I don't know how to change it :S

ttrevin1

hey guys i did everything that i was suppose to do. However when I put the roms in the game, it turns black and then takes me straight back to my home page...any solutions? I have the epic 4g

dsandwich

Hey. This app is superb, do you or anyone else know an easy way to explain how to use an action replay on gameboid? Will Rom Buddy provide a vaild cheat ROM?

dsandwich

Hey, if you have any sort of menu button on your phone. At anytime while you have gameboid open, push the menu button then a sub menu will appear on the screen with one of the choices being settings .

Also how do you delete a message off this forum if you accidentally posted something incorrectly :P?

Familyguy1

So I have the emulator downloaded and the Roms on my SDCard....now what do I do?

Moonfire

Go to Menu > Settings > Input Settings > Virtual keypad settings > D-pad + buttons layout. I prefer Bottom + Bottom myself, in landscape mode it seems the most natural way to hold it.

Have you downloaded and set a BIOS file for the program?

Bronxie

*Nevermind. I figured it out.

I love my Gameboid (paid version). It works really well for me. Only problem I'm having is that it force closes when I play Golden Sun. It'll let me play it for a few minutes and then it goes to the load ROM screen so I have to save really often. Is it a problem with the ROM? Should I look for another one? If I use a different ROM, will I have to start over?

Yep. When I load up the Gameboid it takes me to the screen where all the options are: Set Bios File(which says that I have the gba bios loaded), Video Options, Audio options etc. When I go to SD Card and try to click a game there it says file.gba not found when I clearly downloaded it.

Could it have something to do with the fact that I am using KaosFroyo V34 on my eris? It worked before on my stock eris.
