ehh I'm having problems starting maria bros 4 avdanve I pree enter and it goes to the pause meno or something I can't start playing I only stay in the map the whole time

[akdmksjeanius]

tried ninja 5-0 and it runs perfect with no sound

So fair it's not working for me- keeps telling me there are no files in the folder.. I created the folder structure right off of the instructions..

My pre comes up as my G: drive, and under G: I created

media/internal/vba/roms/

And put 10 different rom files in it, some are GB files, and some are GBA files.. And yes, they are all unzipped.

What could I POSSIBLY be doing wrong?

[Jeffrok]

Nevermind, I think I got it.. The actual folder you create is "vba/roms", from the root of your lettered drive.

Oh Noez! I was battling the Elite 4 (I was on the last one) and I got a phone call so I switched over. Now when I come back I just see a frozen screen. I'm gonna have to restart it and battle all of them all over again.

nope.. You need a computer forr this well just the unzip part

[Spader]

This is great!

I'm finally playing Super Mario 3 on me Pre, albeit through Super Mario Advance 4, and with no sound for now. ha

Also, no Tetris type game in the world beats the original GB Tetris!

Can't wait to see what improvements are made, great work to everyone involved in this.

I have the same problem as fvaljms, the program will not start. I uninstalled upstart manager and VBA and restarted my phone, still did not work. I then removed all patches thinking that could have been it, and no luck with that either.

I got all excited for nothing heh.

This isn't well documented yet, but there IS a config file it reads from, just like regular VBA. If you're interested look into that and take a look.

Note that the scaling/graphical options all will do nothing (but recognized for compat's sake), however keybindings and the like should work.

If you produce something useful please post back/let me know--I just put together some reasonable-ish defaults, and hope to get something significantly more playable in the future.

The only hardcoded keys are the orange+ones which presumably you don't want to use anyway.

Let me know if you have any issues or questions about this, and enjoy .

That would make diagonal pressing a lot easier, like jhnb did on quake.

If you feel up to setting the config file please give that a whirl, else when I get a chance I'll see how that plays, and perhaps post an update/etc.

Keep the usability ideas coming

Absolutely. See Application:VBA - WebOS Internals and Application:VBA - WebOS Internals .

Glad you're having fun,

See the wiki how to enable landscape mode. Right now it looks nice but isn't particularly useful/playable. Makes cutscenes nicer, heh. Demo of things to come is a decent way to look at it .

Not yet, working on it. Can't do everything for first release. However should've made that more clear, also the folder restriction. Both of these should go away in a release or two, sorry everyone.

The *only* reason there's not a landscape configuration for playing is that I couldn't think of a playable one. If someone suggests something I'll push an update with it included as soon as I can .

I LOVE THIS!! Pokemon on my pre!
This will probably make me fail my exams now...

I'm sorry this happened to you. Either you're the fastest pokemon player EVER or you moved your saves over. .

This is a known issue, but still sorry that happened to you. Working on fixing it, we'll see.
