Snezziboy v0.26 - Snes Emulator for the Gameboy Advance

[DanTheManMS]

If it says there was no patch found then it means either the CRC does not match or the snezzi.dat file was not found.

I just thought of something. Perhaps you're renaming it to "snezzi.dat.dat" by mistake. In Windows Explorer, go to Tools - Folder Options - View tab - uncheck "hide extensions for known file types" and hit Okay. This will force Windows to show the file extension no matter what. Make sure it's just "snezzi.dat"

Otherwise, the specific version you're using doesn't have an entry in the snezzi.dat file. When you drag and drop your game onto snezzi.exe, what does it say the CRC is?

No I only named it snezzi and figured since it was a dat file the .dat would be added automatically which it did. well here's a screenshot of the windows


The folder on the bottom is just as i got it when I downloaded it I just added the rom.
Also what am i supposed to do with the snezzid?

Alright, so the CRC of your rom is F1E49FB4 while the snezzi.dat file only has entries for ones with a CRC of 252C1DA7 and 90E9A04E. You've got two options:
1. Find a copy of the game that has one of the two CRC values in the snezzi.dat file
OR
2. Just change one of those two entries in snezzi.dat so the first 8 digits are F1E49FB4 instead. More than likely the speedhacks will still work in whatever version you've got.

snezzid.exe and snezzid.gba are for debugging purposes only. Don't worry about them if you aren't going to be using the Snezziboy debugger to find your own speedhacks.

oh man. I think I'm just going to give up on this and stick with SNEMULDS. hey could you check if Killer Instinct works good on snezzi and let me know PLEASE! it kindda works on DS but it has some lines going through the whole screen. BTW I watched all your vids on YT to see if I could find any help with Snezzi but didn't find NE :'(

so how well does this project emulate now, I'm dying to whack out my gameboy micro last time I tried batman ran at about 25%

[DanTheManMS]

Jannyripper, it's REALLY not that hard. Open snezzi.dat. Find the two entries for Killer instinct. Choose one of them, it doesn't matter. Highlight the first 8 characters and replace them with F1E49FB4. Save, exit, re-convert the rom.

If there are graphical issues, then you need to mess with the graphics settings. You should first enter the menu with L+R+Start so you can set your controls, and you can mess with the graphics there if you want. The easier way is to press L+R+Select+Up a few times in-game which cycles through 4 background combinations that are known to work well for most games. Hopefully one of them will work for you.

I just checked and the game is playable with the backgrounds all set to "disabled" but you can't see the HUD which shows the amount of health you have left, and there's no way to make it visible. Sorry I can't help you more with this game.

mcdougall57, it depends entirely on the game. Many games are fully playable as long as you apply the right speedhacks. Many games have graphics glitches, while some are downright unplayable. Which Batman game are you referring to?

[mcdougall57]

That would be batman returns, does super metroid work at a decent speed and save? if so i want it or a link to some speedhacks to get it there please

[Carlotta_Monroe]

I can't seem to any roms working with snezziboy at all.

I've tried about a dozen, and the only one I got working was Mario Allstars+Mario World, and it ran very slow, unplayable. Everything else I just got a blackscreen.

[DanTheManMS]

mcdougall57, Super Metroid runs but not at a good speed. I was unable to speedhack it to make it run faster than about 50% normal speed.

Carlotta, follow my previous instructions regarding the snesadvance.dat and snezzi.dat files so your games get speedhacks applied.

[Carlotta_Monroe]

I will try that Dan, thanks.

Just a quick Q. When I replace something in the .dat, do I replace the whole line for that game, or just the first 8 characters like you said above? For example:

FBF3C0FF|3x3 Eyes - Seima Korin Den (J)|4|40044804|0|0|0|0|214=42D8

So I would just replace 'FBF3C0FF' with whatever that part is in the other .dat, or the whole string for that game?
