Here's my experiences with VGBA 3.6...

Advance Wars plays ok but save does nothing
Advance Wars 2 crashs at start of campaign or save attempt
Pokemon games crash when you fight wild pokemon
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon seems to play okay but sound is a little distorted

Metroid Fusion and Metroid: Zero Mission working fine, however are somewhat on the slow side, still playable though, generally around 4fps or less. Donkey Kong Country plays but is also somewhat slow, reasonable playable though. Jazz Jackrabbit works and plays about like it does on my SP.

It's a US rom, but I never played on the original GBA so it's hard more me to judge if everything looks okay. But it's plays fine and still lots of fun!

So does Advance Wars 2 work with Save-State?

As for now, I have found a crude fix that will get you into pokemon wild battles. When the screen freezes when you enter a wild battle, exit fullscreen mode, hit freeze state in the menu, hit reset in the menu, then hit restore state. Presto, you'll be placed into the wild battle. ... Just that its really annoying to do this every time you walk in the grass/other infested areas :P.

Oh and also, WarioWare Inc. Mini Games works perfectly.

Wow thanks for that crude workaround! yeah I know it's annoying, but at least there's a glimmer of hope. You really made my day :)

A video of the gameplay can be found here (note that this is just showing the game -- it's not running on a tablet in the video!)

Some of the other Bit Generations games might work well too, but I haven't tried them yet.

I've found many GBA games run well on my n810, but are unplayable due to the controls. The d-pad isn't really designed for gaming, and the on screen controls don't work well if you need to press the d-pad and a button simultaneously.

I agree - Orbital is an awesome game and works flawlessly on the N810. One of my all-time favorite GBA games.

My VGBA game of choice lately has been Metroid: Zero Mission. Great fun.

Tintin 2009-12-01 17:03

Re: VGBA games list! Post your working/not working/slow games here
 
Can't seem to get the following ones to work:

- The Hobbit (screen remains black)
- Summon Night (error when trying to save)
- Broken Sword (error when starting up, saying it can't save tags)
- Riviera (runs but graphics issues at the first fight)
- Kingdom Hearts (runs but with graphics issues)

If anyone have any tricks on how to make these, or more games in general run using a particular set of settings do let me know.

Riviera runs fine for me, try changing here and there in the options.

Thanks, I'll try to see what I can do.
I'm getting weird vertical lines through the sprites as well.
Would be fun to play it..last time was uh...10 years ago or so :D

i still don't understand why it doesn't install emulator because it ask for a "super user privilege" when you try to run the deb file which someone suggest using sudo whateveerr and it's still not working. Nobody is able to help or answer the question.

So i STILL do not know how it work.

For those familiar with the terminal...help appreciated.

How do you guys get it to work??

If you mean the VGBA emulator for Diablo I can't remember doing anything but installing it as normal through the application manager.
What exactly is the error and can you list the steps you go through?

Good. It is a special feature designed to prevent weak minded from using emulators, to cut down on piracy and user support. The feature seems to work perfectly.

Ha ha ha ha ha! :D

VGBA is an odd emulator. Runs a lot of the "3D" games smooth that the Droid can not, but is slower than the G1 for a lot of 2D games like M@rio and some others. Unplayable slow.

My G1 is clocked at 528mhz, but the same games play even smoother and at 60fps on the Droid.

Is it because VGBA is ported and not efficient as it could be? I would expect Maemo to kick Droids butt, given less OS overhead to deal with.

Dragonball legacy of goku 1 USA version works but graphics are totally messed up. The EU version doesnt work at all coz of the anti-piracy thingy.

pokemn totally doesn't work.

emerald/firered/leafgreen/sapphire, they all glitch bad!!

how can this not be a primary concern, what with pokemon being the addictv-ist game ever!

Blobster2k 2009-12-31 15:46

Re: VGBA games list! Post your working/not working/slow games here
 
Pokemon Emerald works fine for me on the n900 with only the odd glitch or slowdown - certainly not enough to make it even close to unplayable.

I've shamefully clocked several hours up so far thanks to this stupidly addictive game!

i take back my original complaints about emerald/sapphire, but i wanted to replay the original games (firered/leafgreen are remakes of the first games), but they're the ones that glitch the worst!!

For leaf green i have to save twice in order for it to save the point that im at in the game. saving it once will not save the game....i find it really annoying...and for fire red it doesnt seem to work or save at all
