Gameboid (GBA Emulator)

[Mastercus]

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!

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

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!

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)

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]

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?

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
