How to use Gameshark/Codebreaker codes with Gameboid

Ok, still got problems, if i save ingame no file is made or adapted.
Also a .sav game from your phone is not always the saved game. Just starting the gameboid by selecting your game makes a .sav game if there is not one yet. And the funny thing is... it once worked for me somehow, now i forgot how i did it
 
alright i know all the helpers here are probably done with helping at all..but id appreciate it if you help me with something you guys haven't responded to yet. someone else has the same problem as me.
i did everything like you guys said. not gonna repeat it..lol and then in the end when i try to load on the computer (not my phone) all i do is
click "open"
click on the copied GBA file
it does the intro screens
and then right after it says 'click start' it says
"the internal battery has run dry. this game can be played"
exactly like that.
ive tried everything i still cant get this dang file to work. so please if you know a way to fix this i would love the help.

thank you for ur time

When i start the gba file that i also use for my phone , it starts up nice with vba :)
But, when i try to open a battery file, i have to restart and play the game all over agian.
i also tried to put the gba and sav in the same map and then fire up the game BUT i get a white screen
any help?
 
Ok, first off if your VBA is saying "batter has run dry" then you must insert a text format file in the same directory that your VBA is in:
Name:vba-over.ini

Pokemon- Ruby Version
[AXVE]
rtcEnabled=1
flashSize=131072

Pokemon- Emerald version
[BPEE]
rtcEnabled=1
flashSize=131072


Secondly, if your gamboid application wont open your save file after your edited it on VBA and transfered it to your phone, thats simply because it changed the .sav file name. in which you must rename it like so "exact gametitle".sav without quoutes of course. Just copy game title, paste it as the sav file and there you go.
 
Current versions of gameboid supports cheat files that have the .CHT extenstion and are the same name as the game rom, e.g. "Pokemon Sapphire.gba" is the ROM and "Pokemon Sapphire.CHT" is the cheat file. It's not going to do you much good but here's the format of the .CHT file.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?><cheats><item disabled="true" code="00000000 00000000" name="Quick Level Up" /><item disabled="true" code="00000000 00000001" name="All TM HMs Set 1" /><item disabled="true" code="00000000 00000002" name="All TM HMs Set 1" /><item disabled="true" code="00000000 00000003" name="All TM HMs Set 1" /></cheats>

It's xml and the cheats begin after <cheats> and end before </cheats>. disabled="true" means the cheat is initially disabled. Notice how the code preceeds the name in the form (code="00000000 00000000" name=" ").

Currently you can't have more that one 16 character code on a single line so if your code is really huge then treat each 16 characters separately. In the example above I just split up the multiple 16 characters codes into separate lines with the same code name.

Don't use special characters like *!@#$%^&*()'in the code name itself. Also there are no carriage returns in the file so everything just runs together.

It was a real pain in the backside but I successfully reformatted all of the AR codes for Pokemon Sapphire on my computer and uploaded it to the directory with the game rom. The codes were recognized and ran fine.
 
Yeah mine doesn't seem to be working... I'm not using Gameboid, I'm using Gameboy Advance Emulator Lite by Persistence Apps... and idk if it's because of the app, but when I save in game I never see the main screen again, whenever I start the app up I'm always right where I left off... The app also has an area to place gameshark codes, but they don't seem to work... and when I try to go through the computer using VBA (following the steps to the t) it never gives me the option to continue, just to start a new game, so idk what to do! Please help!

Please PM me if you have a solution
