Gnuboy screen problems?

[kloplop321]

So I found ED's gnuboy pnd, tried it out, it seems nice, can't work well when there are for some random reason 40 editions of Pokemon blue in one single 7z, but that's okay.


However, It seems I cannot get scaling to work. I select the game, the zenity prompt comes up asking for what resolution, I have tried every option, and it seems like it isn't even getting to the arg variable in the .sh that runs for it.


I have tried to press enter on the one I want, I have tried to select the one I want and press OK, and I have double tapped the one I want, all result with the screen not being scaled.


I have reset twice now, and it seems like that is unrelated.


I also thought of putting this in the support section, but it looks like that is mostly hardware related.


EDIT: now it seems like it is trying to scale, but it is just black, and it semi-crashes, so when I try to kill it through ssh, I get a black box staying on the screen, which only goes away if I reset, it seems unrelated to the xsession as I have tried logging out...


EDIT: redownloaded again, acts just like the first description, not sure what caused the stuff in the second download :/


EDIT: looks like I will just use visualboy advance for now, though it can't handle zipped roms.

I have the same issue also have been playing GB through VBA and Mednafen seems to work quite nicely on those

Do gb,gbc games work on vba.


Does vba support control pads.

This completely sidesteps the question, but I've always found that gpSP (http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=gpspwiz) is best for Game Boy Advance games, and Visual Boy Advance (http://apps.open-pandora.org/cgi-bin/viewapp.pl?/Emulator/vba-1.7.2-0.inf) best for Game Boy and Game Boy Color games.


I've never had any luck with GNUboy.

Yeah gb & gbc works perfect on VBA not entirely sure what you mean about support for control pads like external ones? if so i can't help you there never tested any

 

[sukhi2011]

Vba running on 900mhz runs full speed with good sound and plays all of my gba games,some of them games don't work gpsp at all,so it not good as vba,i tried controller on vba doesn't work.

I have a identical problem... it's possible to fix this bug ? Thank in advance

IIRC the version in the repo has this issue, but there's another (seemingly identical) version floating about that scales properly. Not sure where to find that.


In the meantime, give this emulator a go: http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/5668-gngb-a-game-boy-and-color-game-boy-emulator-for-testing/

 

[numidark]

Thank you Gruso It's ok

Hi, here's my version, working nicely for me : http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ac19fhax0e9zgy7

Hm, the one on my Pandora scales nicely. I'm gonna replace it with the one on the repo.


Maybe I accidentally uploaded a beta testing version?
