Need help on how to run GBA games on Visual Boy Advance GUI

Hi Amigans!!!

Well,I need help to run GameBoy Advance Roms on Visual Boy Advance GUI emulator.I downloaded 383 roms today and I managed to load one rom this morning or midday,but now I am stuck because I changed all the options but the roms doesn't load.It gives this error message: "CD: Numero de argumentos incorrecto" (CD: Incorrect number of arguments)

As I want to download all the GameBoy Advance full romset and already downloaded the GBA emulator BIOS and no luck in order to run the games.

What can I do to run GBA roms?

May I did something wrong?

What are the best roms for GBA?

Thanks in advance and hope to run Gameboy Advance roms again as I usually did on my AmigaOne XE that's is on another house and broken.

@MamePPCA1

Any ideas?

What can I do to run GBA roms?

Thank you

can you please link me the emulator that you use? so I can try it and tell you how to do :)

The emulator

http://os4depot.net/?function=showfil ... stem/visualboyadvance.lha

And the GUI

http://os4depot.net/?function=showfil ... ion/gamesystem/vbagui.lha

I tried the emulator with the gui and, here, on my system everything is fine out of the box. I put the executable inside the VBAGUI directory and in the setting of the emulator i put the correct path of the executable. After that, i put frameskip to custom and set it to 1 (I have a Sam440ep mini-itx), choose a gb rom (i have two classic gameboy rom), press launch and it worked fine. To quit the game if you are in fullscreen mode press "ESC" Key. Otherwise simply close the window from the close gadget.

No problem at all without warning or error messages

@nubechecorre

Thanks nubechecorre!!! I will try later

@nubechecorre

I tried in Ram Disk with the tips you gave me but no luck with 2 roms,One Spy Hunter+ SuperSprint and 2 about Hot Wheels.

What can I do now? I am really stuck on this issue.

MamePPCA1:

Try deleting SYS:Prefs/Env-Archive/VBAGUI.Ami603.es.xml and see if it works again.

@Ami603

I tried,but it doesn't work

What I am missing?

How can I run GBA roms?

I have great illusion to run these roms as I did on my AmigaOne XE in recent years,maybe on 2011-2012 or before.

@MamePPCA1
isn't that one you mention the wrong one, vbagui is meant for vba
that would explain why the gui doesnt work well with visualboyadvance, download vba.lha and retry.

@trgswe

What should I download? The emulator exe or the GUI?

Thanks

@MamePPCA1

Both.

Just do a complete new setup or you'll end up mixing stuff over and over again

@Raziel

OK Later I will try.

The thing and the situation is that I ran a game probably last week or before and now the emulator musn't load a rom or doesn't respond.

Why? I really don't know...

@MamePPCA1
This is a bit of a longshot, but have you moved vba or renamed the program or the gui, you should check in APPDIR: if vba or VisaulboyAdvance (or the gui) is there then check if it is pointing to the current path, perhaps deleting the APPDIR: position so that you can run it again. remember if you are using the gui it might try to find the vba core program in the wrong place, and then it probably will fail to load correctly (a bit uncertain about how it works with APPDIR: or is that APP: ).

Edit: Link above is to the MUI GUI not the regular GUI that you linked to,
the MUI GUI works perfectly. Just place it in your VBA folder and run it.

Edit2: Oh yeah, make sure to extract your roms, NO zip/rar/lha files!

@khayoz

Thanks really khayoz!!! But I tried the VBAMUIGUI emulator inside my GAMEBOY ADVANCE DIR and later on VisualBoyAdvance dir and it doesn't load roms.Note too that I installed before RxMUI before

Don't know why this behaviour...

Any more ideas?

I still have faith to run GBA roms inside this awesome emulator.

But sorry but I don't find the reason why this emulator doesn't work like it worked about a week or 10 days ago.

@MamePPCA1

As Raziel said, delete everything(except the Roms!)

1. Download - http://os4depot.net/?function=showfil ... lation/gamesystem/vba.lha

2. Extract it and RENAME the folder TO
VBA and place the folder where ever you want it to be(for me it's DH1:Emulation/VBA).

3. Download - http://os4depot.net/?function=showfil ... ion/utility/vbamuigui.lha

4. Extract it and move VBAMUIGUI and VBAMUIGUI.rexx into your VBA folder (for me it's DH1:Emulation/VBA)

Start it up and enjoy! Don't enjoy it to much, time flies with Nintendo!

Hope it solves your problem, if not just give us a call.

@khayoz

The problem remains

What can I do now?

@MamePPCA1

What year did you last re-booted your Amiga? ;)

I'm out of clues!

I'm on the X5000 here with the latest Amiga OS4.1upd2 Non developer/beta,
and VBA/VBA MUI GUI work without a hitch.

Any other apps stopped working?

@MamePPCA1

Found your problem!
Your Amiga has too little Nintendium!
