I updated the wiki with some installation instructions for those having trouble. It is my way to show support (as I'm kinda broke now). I'll be donating soon though.

I got all excited for nothing heh.
Posting to reiterate this problem. Anyone have any ideas?

I always save after each successful victory.

No plans presently, mostly due to time, got my hands full with vba for now. If in the longer future someone doesn't beat me to it I might give it a whirl. We'll see

It should save automatically, or rather save just like a real gameboy/advance does (through whatever means the rom save its state).

"Wrote battery" indicates that the game was saved, for what it's worth.

Not that presently there's no game load/save *state* (popular in emulators, not saving as implemented in the game itself). It's on the TODO.

I actually have no idea. I don't have a pixi, and haven't even taken a chance to look at the pixi's hardware (or if it supports glesv2, etc). So I can't really guess.

If someone has one and wants to try it that would be great, please report back .

Sorry I can't be more helpful on that front.

Tomorrow night I try it out on my daughters Pixi. It is working great on the my Pre. Funny I thought the sound was messed up but then found I had bluetooth on. Once I turned it off everything was fine.

Great work!!

Any posts referencing illegal ROM sites will be removed, and the author reported to the forum administrators.

Just don't do it, it's not cool. You threaten the whole homebrew community by your actions.

Please use the "Report Post" icon at the bottom left of any such posts to report them to the moderators.

Any posts asking about where to find roms will simply be deleted, as will any posts answering those requests with anything other than pointing to the free legitimate homebrew rom sites listed on the wiki page.

There will be zero tolerance in this thread.

Absolutely fantastic.
I was hoping to be able to use turbo to speed up some of the works in gba games but found that it simply ends up with some mass stuttering of sprites.

GB+GBC are just simply perfect. I just wish there could be touch controls similar to the d-pad implementation found in some iPhone apps and in Quake.
