do you know where to the game saves to?frontsd? or sd gekko?

[c4105]

It's saving to front SD. It makes a new folder called RINSAVE in the card's root.

Heh, this is just getting better and better! :)

[ryoga9kaji]

Thanks!!! a great emu!

[linkinworm]

OMG frontsd save, if this dude can do it, so can everyone else, get a new update for the snes out NOW!!! i really wana play mario bros 3, i have it on VC but thats the nes version, doesnt look so good, classic tho

[linkinworm]

anyone know how to get a boarder on this? it has a boarder option, i guess its just an image on the root of the stick, but it has to have a name and a pixel size right? anyone know this

[supersoni88]

great no if there was a way to reload the emulator so it go back to the elf loader that'll be great!
but yeah this needs to be implied into the other emulators

[DimensionT]

Just wait it out people, they know everyone wants front SD saving. Telling them to do it isn't gonna make them do it any faster.

Chances are they can look at the source for this and use it in other emulators.

[wraggster]

awesome release then, major props to mr marakichi :)

[hoshinokirby]

still no way to get back to the elf loader. but front sd saving makes me extremely happy in the pants to care. :)

dang it, the saves are in a seperate folder? >_> So then I can't continue saved games I've played in Lameboy on the DS...

But anyway, if we can get that along with rumble and MAYBE HQ3x upscaling filter, then I'm good to go.
Stretching to fit the screen may be nice, but not something I'm actively seeking :P

Oh, and there's the issue of reloading the boot.elf...

I don't see why you couldn't. I'm pretty sure SRAM files are interchangable between all emulators. It's save states that're different.

Try taking a save and throwing it in the RIN saves folder, and renaming it if you have to.

[Nintendo Maniac 64]

I know I can do that. The point is that I won't be able to switch from playing on my DS to my Wii on a whim because Lameboy puts saves in the same folder as the rom, while RIN doesn't. It would be a major pain to move my save EVERY SINGLE TIME.

[linkinworm]

you mean to move from one folder to another? so if lameboy saved to the root it would be ok? its not hard to click on the folder.

Try putting your GB roms in the RINSAVE folder. This creates no problems with RIN, and you should be able to just navigate to the RINSAVE folder from the Lameboy menu, and load the games from there. Provided Lameboy names its saves the same way RIN does, and creates the save in the directory the rom is located (both unconfirmed by me), it should be a solution for you.

Hi everybody.
I tried RIN and works fine BUT seems that i cannot jump higher keeping the A button pressed (in supermario land 2)...:confused:
Any hint would be helpful thanks!

[Athrador]

Even with this there are problem on pal Wii

50hz: skipping frames (ok, after all it's not 60hz :p) and the image it's not in the original size (squeezed in the top and in the bottom).
60hz with RGB: virtual boy :eek:

[kingslime80]

Did you try pressing the R button on your controller?

[Athrador]

Did you try pressing the R button on your controller?

Yes, but this only zoom to 3x, it's not the point. Between Pal50 e Pal60 there's a difference in the resolution: 576i on 50Hz (625 line, higher than NTSC signal) and 480i on 60Hz (525 line, the same of NTSC). In fact on 60Hz the "form" of the screen is the original (but with RGB cable for some reason all become red and black), instead on 50Hz it's not. :(

[linkinworm]

umm i think theres a bug in the saving, sometimes when you save,it wont save, and when you load the game up it will load the save befor that, rather annoying for games like zelda and pokemon, hopefully that can be fixed soon

[kingslime80]

It doesn't save by itself, so I always click on Save SRAM multiple times. :)

[Nintendo Maniac 64]

Um... I don't know about you, but I don't even SEE an option for "Save SRAM"...

EDIT: OH are you kidding I completely forgot to extract ths updated .ELF file >_<

I can't get it to work on the Homebrew Channel = (
