It looks terrible, but works.

Great job ^_^ will this be included in the next version?

 

[sephiroth111]

that'd be cool if the menu was called by hitting the Y button. (preferably avoiding all the stick clicking.)

Yeah I vote get rid of all those complex key shortcuts which I'm never gonna remember and just have an easy to activate menu either by pressing L+R+START or something like holding select (like SquideSNES)... Y is a good idea but I think people would keep on accidently knocking it and it could get quite annoying...

 

[shinneri]

L+R+Y then? It would be less awkward than L+R+Start, but still not likely to happen on accident.

Why can't this game load straight from the main menu instead of having to use another selector program.

It's not a game, it's an emulator.

Some works already gone into this for the new suggested standards site here!
Unfortunatly.. it's not that easy to get a key setup that all programs will be able to use, without completely limiting the developers. There's also the fact that GPH have their own standard key's.
I though that the best way was to have 3 different key setups to cover all of the programs.

The sites not completed yet, but take a look if you want & feel free to provide feedback.
(& I apologies for the shameless promotion )

I know its an emulator but the comment is still valid.

Because it doesn't have its own frontend.

The very first release had one i heard?

It used to come configured to use Selector but for some reason that was scrapped in favour of GMenu2x. It should still be easy enough to set it up with Selector for those that want to.

Edit: This is the config file it used to come with for Selector.

#Selector configuration file
#Version 1.0
langCode=EN
#Full path to skin files
skinPath=./
selectRectangle=1
#List of full paths of command line options
cmdLine=./vba
cmdLine=./vba --video-2x
cmdLine=./vba --frameskip=9 --no-auto-frameskip
#Full absolute path to base directory for file explorer
baseDir=./roms/
#File filters
fileFilter=gb
fileFilter=gbc
fileFilter=gba
fileFilter=zip

I am using selector (not GMENU2X) and this emu is not working for me.
Black screen or it goes back to GP2X Menu screen.

Remove spaces from your ROM file names, that did it for me.

L+R+Start is already something of a standard and exists in several other emulators. Lets try to stick with standards. Please!

That´s not the problem, my rom names are we.zip and virtuatennis.zip

Can somebody put a pack with selector working for the people like me
Thank you

Hi I've uploaded the source code at.
http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,46,1877
Please take a look and tell me what to do next.
I'm still having difficulties with the menu.
I don't really understand the sound part. Any ideas how to make it less choppy? e.g increase buffer length etc
Also I hope someone can give me some ideas how change the C-core into arm asm. vba already has the cpu core in powerpc and 386 asm (see armnew.h)
