It should accept any PNG resolution, and simply get the PNG and tile it all over the screen. MAME already has something similar.

the idea is that, with a 4x4 pixel PNG, we can have this effect on a 4x-zoomed GB game:


or make a 3x3 pixel PNG for using with 3x zoom:


Of course, this could also be used to make different scanline effects, it all depends on the PNG you choose.

I have attached a sample 4x4 PNG.

I have a question regarding the super gameboy. When I set it to SGB2, Link's Awakening DX no longer appears in color. When I set it to automatic, it is in color, but now the super gameboy border is just a teal color, not the custom zelda SGB background.

Also, is there a way to have the standard Super Gameboy background on regular gameboy games? I just think it looks cooler than a black background.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks!]]>

I am unsure as to why it's doing this and I have tried to look for help in threads. I don't know if this is posted in the wrong spot or someone already brought this up and I couldn't find it.

If someone could let me know why it's doing this, if I can fix it with limited to no knowledge on coding, and if there is any difference in using WXVBA over VBA M1149 for the ROMS.

I'd be very grateful for any help.]]>

When you're leaving the island you're asked if you want to 'save' your island to your GBA.
If you choose yes you're supposed to be able to keep playing a kinda mini-game version of the island on your GBA.
It seems pretty cool.

Unfortunately, you can't save. Depending on how I'm connected
(I think the difference was whether I was over a network, or on a single computer?
But I can't remember. I can duplicate the results upon request though.)
Dolphin will throw an error message, but either way Animal Crossing will tell me that it was unable to communicate with the GBA.

I read somewhere that this functionality might be called netbooting?
My question is about which side the problem is on.
Is Dolphin unable to send the information, or is VBA-M unable to receive it?

This isn´t just for this game or this particular sprite.
It happens very often.

I am not sure if it´s normal, i haven´t really cared, but it´s starting to get irritating when it´s flickering (overlapping and getting back to normal fast).

My 2 questions are Audio related, or well one of them is a bit off topic, depending on how you look at it, but here goes.

Quesion 1:

When i use the lowest Latency possible, it says 2 frames 33.3 ms.
Does that mean that i will hear the Audio 33.3ms from when it´s produces (and in 33.3ms 2 frames is shown)?

If i am then Recording the emulator with Fraps or Dxtory, Will it also have this delay. If so, by making a delay of -33.3ms afterwards, will it cure it?

I currently think it does, but better of asking.

Question 2:

What are the best settings for sync and prevent sound stutter.

It probably varies, but mind as well just ask.

I must have Vsync, and as my screen is 60hz, it shouldn´t be any problem as Gameboy also is 60hz(or 59.xx i think).

And i am not sure, but from my Emulating over the years, i always end up using Sync Audio, as it produces the cleanest audio. Probably from Project64 where you get jitter and cracks most of the time with Limit FPS.

Now i don´t know how VBA M handles it, but should i use Vsync with Audio Sync?

And is there any Rendering API you recommend, i currently use Direct3D.

Also, I use triple buffering, which should be like the best of 2 worlds in regards to Input Lag, but i think it´s just for OpenGL that it always uses the latest frame, and Direct3D will always go in order, meaning it can be behind by 1 or more frames just to do it in the order the frames where supposed to be shown.



Okay this got a bit messy, but hopefully you get what i am talking about.
