Can someone please help me?? i downloaded the gameboid along with the gbs_bios_bin and put it an a folder along with some games. When i open the gameboid all the games along with the file are there but whenever i try to open one of them, i get a notification that says:
Load BIOS failed. The valid BIOS file must be specified in the settings.
Having GBA Emulator Problems:
I was playing pokemon emerald last night. saved it and now when I try to load it.. it says cannot find Bios. I have a htc evo. It shows where I last saved but when I click on it it doesnt find the bios.
Sorry if this was already discussed, but i recently bought Samsung Galaxy S2, and I wanted to instal gameboid to play some golden oldies like pokemon emerald ect.
I installed gameboid, and copied roms and bios on my phone.
When i launch gameboid it doesn't start game, it just goes black for few seconds and thats all.
Any suggestions?

That's weird. I'm using SGS2 as well but I don't experience similar issues. Are you sure you got the right .apk and the ROMs?
i solved my problem, i was just using old version of gameboid. now everythings works as a charm
SGS2 users just need at least 2.4.7 version of gameboid
I downloaded the gba emulator and the bios + roms and put those in the same folder. Now when i open the emulator, and select search games and select one of the games it says: no bios file found. And i have gba_bios.bin on my sdcard.

Go into the settings of the emulator. You'll see the first option should be about the GBA bios file. Tap that and go to the directory where the bios file is, and then tap on the bios file. It should now have the bios selected and will remember where it is. You should be able to load roms.
I have a problem with the gameboid app. I;m trying to play Pokemon Emerald and for some reason every time i click on it, it goes black and then to the select rom screen again
K, my situation it's differente. I can load saved games from VBA(Pc) into Gameboid(Android) but... as soon I tried to save my progress using "Start - Save" always got "Error This data was not saved successfully. Please save data again".
Any idea?
How'd you figure out the BIOS file, i'm struggling with the same problem
hey one thing i found to fix the same issue was to go to the app. then click the little options button on the samsung prevail its the very bottom of the phone on the far left its not on the screen open the options select settings then the first thing on the list is bios or something of that sort click that and then go through your files and actually find and click your bios so gameboid knows where the bios is. then it should work. my next issue is actually running a rom now that the bios issue is fixed lol hope it helps
guys just to change the subject, i beleive that the gameboid does not support Pokemon games? Because i played crystal and gold on a GBC emulator but i tried so much to play fire red or leaf green on a GBA emulator but it just doesnt work. I tried different roms different bin files. And i saw a guy on youtube who played (i think it was pokemon pure white) on his xperia play (thats my phone aswell). So i ask is there anyone who can explain to me how i can play pokemon on my phone? I tried so much allready so im very curious about ur answers.
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)
Yea me too! Exactly the same but I have the Nexus S. Someone help please.
I have just downloaded the Gameboid App from SlideME, I guess this is the most recent version, since it's from yongzh's account himself. Though, two games of mine wont's save! I have tried the following roms that worked:
Pokemon Ruby
Pokemon Firered
The games that won't save, are:
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - Red Rescue Team
The Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past & Four Swords
I have tried to save it with all the different ways of save types (Automatic, EEPROM, SPRAM, Flash and Flash 128KBit), but it didn't work out much better. If anyone could find me an answer, I would be really happy!

I had the same problem with saving, in this games and others. I know the solution i had taken is not the best, but, works. Simply open those games on other emulators like Tiger, wich has some problems with the screen on some games like Zelda, create the memory state, run the game and even make a save state on the emulator.
Well, after that, you can close this app and open GameBoid, your memory state and save states will be there and you will be free to run those games with no further problem. Ah, and leave the save option on Automatic.
guys, just now i played pokemon fire red and emerald and i cannot save both of it. anyone knows why?
The save games of pokemon games are always quite high. You have to adjust the save games in your settings to the highest, like this: Gameboid -> menu button -> Settings -> Other Settings -> GBA save type -> Flash (128KB). That should solve the problem.

PS.: Sorry for my poor english.
So that means I have to download another emulator that supports save stats, witch are all full versions, so I have to pay money for it... I guess that's beyond my will of playing. I could search internet for the free apk's, but I think I'll hold it with Zelda: The Minish Cap and Pokemon. Thanks though for your time!

I have a little problem so if anyone could help i would appreciate it. So, I downloaded GBCoid, Mojo GBA Lite and GBC A.D. and bios file also and some games. I put bios file on sd card but the problem is that when I open one of those emulators (GBCoid, GBC A.D. ect.) they don't ask me for bios file, nor can I find an option in settings to load it. Therefore I can't open any of the games. If anyone can help, I would be grateful.
I have HTC Desire HD.

Hey i tried this but it didnt work... it wont save past a certain point in the game and now to access the second half of the game i need to be able to save without the quicksave option. If you have another possible solution please share
I'm having a problem with Gameboid now that my Moto Droid Razr Maxx has been updated to ICS 4.0.4. When in portrait mode, the screen is all blurry, and the text is hard to read (using Fire Emblem as an example). I didn't have the problem on Gingerbread, and when I rotate the phone to landscape, a split-second before the picture rotates the screen gets super sharp and clear.
So it's clearly possible for the screen to be sharp and clear in portrait, but it seems there's some sort of blur filter being applied. Anyone have any advice?
Hey i have my boy free downloaded on my new lg mach or whatever but i downloaded hamtaro ham ham heart break and it freezes in the beeigenning and i tied all the code breaker codes like idk is there a diff way anyone knows of or can find?
Castlevania Aria of sorrow
Golden Sun
Harvest Moon
Kingdom Hearts-Chain of Memories
Klonoa-Empire of Dreams
Pokemon-Emrald Version
Sabre Wulf
Super Mario Advance 3-Yoshi's Island
The Legend of Zelda-The Minish Cap
final fantasy 6 advance
these are all great games .
I have a question about where to put bios and roms. I put the bios and the roms on my external SD card. When I started the game it made my phone crash. I then put the bios and roms onto the internal SD and everything ran fine. Is it best to put the bios and games onto the internal SD? How do you guys do it?
Edit: Well I tried it again with the bios and roms on my external SD card and it didn't crash my phone this time. I rather keep the roms on my external SD because I have more space.
