New GBA emulator for Wii is out.

Post by DTK.21 » Fri Sep 18, 2015 4:32 pm

So like the Subject states this gba emulator(mGBA) has been out for 3ds, wii, and Vita and the performance is pretty pleasing. Only downside is because it has only been around for what i know a couple of weeks(or months) it doesn't have an all flashy menu interface like VBAGX and can't load through .zip and only gba, but the performance is worth it and can use the same .sav files that vbagx makes(just remove "AUTO" in the name).

For now no savestates but that shouldn't be too much an issue so here's the site link below

So yes, mGBA is a very cool emulator indeed. it can run all of my roms at full speed, including Pokémon, which I find very impressive, since neither VBA GX or Retroarch GX was able to run it without major lag or frameskip. basically said, I care about the emulation more than the interface. also, when porting saves, make sure to put it in the same folder and remove the "Auto" in the filename ("Rom Auto.sav" to "Rom.sav")

Kinda late for it if everyone who's ever read this thread

But there's now an option for Save states as well as booting by bios(optional or course) and changing of the Frameskip(well at least for wii not that it already runs perfect anyways)

Sadly I no longer have a 3ds to test out so for now i can only hope button configurations for a next big update

Well I need to download this new update. Sometimes I forget what the term "Nightly Build" means.

It is indeed impressive, the fact it's stable as it is despite still being in alpha. I love this emulator :D
