Goomba and Supercard... not working?

moviecouple · April 23, 2006, 02:16:05 PM

OK. I know that with the new Firmware 1.61 trying to save Gameboy games does not work. I am trying to using the Goomba emultor to compile a bunch of games, but when I try to load and play them on the Supercard... all I get is a jumbled splashscreen and the game is nothing but screwed up lines. It used to work this way, but now it doesn't. Any ideas?

i think the splashscreen support hasa bug in it, try without the spalshscreen and then let us know

No go. Same thing still happends. It's weird though. Stuff that I compiled over a year ago (that used to work) now doesn't work. I am wodering if 1.61 Firmware isn't compatible somehow. Can someone else try and confirm this?

Man this is driving me crazy. Can't get it to work. It is weird though. The newely compiled games that I make work perfectly on Visualboy, but not in the Supercard CF/SD or Mini. I wished Romman would fix the built-in one.

I have no problems with saving GB games. Only savestates (real time save) don't work.

yeah. I also have no problem using the built-in goombacolor emulator. just have a .sav file of the same name as your gb/gbc rom (just like gba/nds), and save normally, backing up the save to your SD/miniSD card when you're done..

Really? Don't you save in the Goomba emulator first and then L+R+Select+A to save into the Card? On mine it won't even let me choose save in the Goomba emulator. What am I doing wrong?

I was thinking... didn't more than half of the GB games not have saves states? If that is the case... no amount of saving (other than RTS) would work. Correct?

Any idea of why the Goomba compiked games aren't working?

try patching them with the sc software after compiling.

rachardv,

That never even occured to me. But, man am I an IDIOT. Forgot that Goomba is creating a GBA game at that point... and GBA games need to be converted through the Supercard software. Man I really feel stupid. But it is logical and makes sense now that you pointed it out. That is why it sometimes takes a second brain to figure things out. Thanks for the help.
