How to play GBC on GBA

[GBASP]

Hi,
I'm trying to put GBC game, which is Pokemon trading card, into the GBA flash card roote directory.

I've been in several pages, but said something about Pocketnes.gba in goomba.gba, but I'm really confused

Can you please help me out?

thx

1. Go to http://www.dwedit.org/gba/goombacolor.php and download Goomba Color and the builder application
2. Use the builder tool to add your GBC game into the output *.gba compilation
3. Compile the game and copy the output *.gba file to your card.

If the latest version has issues, try the next older version, as I've heard this one actually has some speed issues the older one didn't have for certain games (though it increased speed with other games).

i'm confused with the goomba front application, what's that "load existing config:
and "output configuration"
and what is the gbctrim?
cuold you explain it to me step by step!
i'm new at this

The configuration file simply saves the file paths you set so that you don't have to browse for every file every time you open up the Goomba Front application. IE, it will remember the location of goomba.gba, the output filename, the splash screen you select, etc. It doesn't affect the actual emulation at all.

GBCTrim is a program that trims empty data from GBC roms to make them slightly smaller. Unless you really need to cram one more game into the 32 MB max filesize, I'd suggest ignoring it to prevent problems.

A good tutorial on the Goomba Frontend application can be found at http://wiki.pocketheaven.com/Goomba

thx for the site

but it still doesn't work


do i have to save the rom and the goomba.gba in one folder?

is it true that you can play roms less than 200k?

I have this one

plus a CF adapter for SD card user

and how many adapters are there?

is this all related to my problem?
pls help

I assumed you had a device capable of running full-fledged GBA binaries, not just multiboot files. Yes, that does change things.

You'll need the special GBAMP-specific version of Goomba Color then. I think the latest release of that is the Alpha 6 version. Don't use the Goomba frontend for this version. Instead, launch it directly from the GBAMP menu and then choose a *.gb/*.gbc game from your card to play using its built-in menu.

i hope i don't enoy with my dumm questions;-)

what u mean by

"GBAMP menu and then choose a *.gb/*.gbc game from your card to play using its built-in menu"


and is it possible to save the game somehow

thx

Download the GBAMP version from http://boards.pocketheaven.com/viewtopic.php?t=3280

Put goomba.gba on your card along with your GB and GBC games. Launch goomba.gba from the GBAMP menu like you would any other GBA or NES game or whatnot. Goomba Color will present you with a file browser where you can select the GB or GBC game to play. Saving is supported.

However, I'm curious what you mean by "a CF adapter for SD card user." Are you not using an actual CF card on your GBAMP CF v2? That may be a problem, as I'm not sure how that will affect the read/write code in Goomba Color.

I meant this adapter
to plug it into the CF

but thx fo the big support:thumbup:

It's worth a shot, though again I'm not sure if it will work correctly since you're not using an actual CF card.
