How to play GBC on GBA

[GBASP]

ok, I can't see any difference between the
alpha color 6 and goomba only the trim is new,

you said saving is supported but how do I use it?

at the moment i'm playing tetris, is it possible to play it while listening to music from the gbasp?


thx

Don't use the trimming tool with the GBAMP version, as the link I posted states. Obviously if you're running a GB game you aren't going to notice any difference. Try running a GBC game to see that you can actually play them now.

If you're looking for colorizations like the GBC automatically added to old GB games, it's not possible. The coloring info is not stored in the GB rom. Each GB game has a colorization entry stored in the GBC BIOS itself, which nobody has been able to dump.

It's not possible to multitask, so you cannot play music from your card at the same time.

Thanks for the info

In my gbamp root directory, I stored 7 GameBoy games
such as Tetris and Lemmings.

And now I downloaded Donkey Kong Classic NES
and I put it into the root dir. as well,
I used pocketnes.gba to compile it, but when i wanted to play it, it showed up a blank screen, and when I tried tetris.gba it showed the same thing...

Is it because GBA and NES games are in the same root?

Thx :thumbup:

Are you saying you're creating compilations with the PocketNES Menu Maker program or the Goomba Frontend program? If so, why?

[GBASP]

For GBA games I use goomba for NES games i use pocketnes

Is that wrong?

Goomba Color emulates the GB and GBC. Not GBA.

I honestly have no idea what you're doing to try to play these games, so I can do is repeat what I already posted earlier:

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.

If the "or NES game" part confuses you, then ignore it. I don't know enough about the GBAMP menu to be sure about that point. Just launch goomba.gba itself. You are using the GBAMP-specific version from the link I gave you, right?

[GBASP]

yes i'm using the specific version, the gb and gbc are working fine as the nes

it's just when i store nes and gb/c games together, into the dir. root, and i want to play whether nes or gb/c it displays the white screen

Hello DantheManMS, are you there?

I need help

[DanTheManMS]

Honestly I don't know what to tell you, sorry. Not to mention that I still don't really understand what the problem is. Games work when they're separated into folders but not when you mix them together in the same folder?

FAT has a limit on the number of files that can be on the root of your card, which may or may not be part of your problem.

[GBASP]

no i cant put games on the folder it says it has to be directly on the root, anyway, i already said i put games like tetris.gba and donkeykong.nes in the same root and both wont work, do you get me now?

sorry for my annoyance:-)
