Thanks for the list.Somehow, I can't get the download for the BIOS and FIRMWARE links recently. I get directed to MegaUpload when I click on the link, but I can't seem to find the downloading link itself on the page. HELP!

Here's the save file link GameFaqs Pokemon Diamond Save fileThe name on my rom goes as:1015 - Pokémon Diamond (U)That's everything I think..

I'll get on it later today.

Somehow, I can't get the download for the BIOS and FIRMWARE links recently. I get directed to MegaUpload when I click on the link, but I can't seem to find the downloading link itself on the page. HELP!

The 3rd NO$GBA Mirror HAS the B and F. Mirror 3 (Contains Bios & Firmware)Ok so I tried the save on my own ROM and etc. and couldn't get it to work. My guess is that the Save file is either messed up or empty. Choose another Save file and try that one.

Since this is a newer game, it looks like the current version of no$gba is unable to emulate it.

Does anyone have a clue as to what the fabled No$gba v2.7 will have. I have heard on other sites that it may be close to completionPOINTS were deducted for this post by ShaiPlease refer to the forum rules to find out why your points were deducted.

What about 0340-Super Princess Peach, Stage 1-6 before the first boss battle the game just stops, you can still see sprite animation but thats it as if they're stuck and I can't do anythingSometimes the boss will emerge before the game stops, I got my copy from dgemu btw, I even included a file in my folder which has the same name as the rom...

OK, 1 problem, 2 games. Time Hollow and Lock's Quest. Both roms crash after a while. I assume those 2 games are unplayable?

Have you tried using different settings? They both work fine for me. Perhaps try running without sound and/or using a different memory type. And if possible, please be more specific and define 'a while'. Otherwise it could be a huge range of problems.

I have 2 problems with No$GBA. For example, some games go at 100% for 10 minutes or so and then go to 50% and have a massive slowdown. This happens for Castlevania, for DQ: Monsters, for almost all the games. It's impossible to enjoy them with that happening.Any help? And Dragon Quest 4 is very slow on the world map, the game is unplayable too :P

That just means your computer cannot handle the load. Either you will have to give up on those games or maybe think about a couple of options: upgrading your computer, or purchasing a flashcart. =x

Yeah but the game works at normal speeds for a prolongued period of time, it just happens from time to time to go under 100%, except that then now slow. My computer is also pretty good, 2 GHZ dual core, X1400 graphics card, 1 Gig ram, not even 2 years old.

Sorry if it crashes and you have the latest version (and I know you do) then there's nothing to do then to wait for the next version to come out to come out. Also, lock's quest has MAJOR graphics problems, it no$gba doesn't show any building in the game.

And Dragon Quest 4 is very slow on the world map, the game is unplayable too :)

Have you tried going to options-->emulation options and changing the setting "Emulation speed, lcd refresh" ("realtime,auto" by default)? Because this can help a LOT when playing games that go slow. While you're there you can also try to change the sound setting at "Sound Output Mode", although the sound is worse or off, some people can play their games faster then. It's also recommended that you close all apps (like msn and your virus scanner...) while playing slow games. And last but not least, your whole pc could be terribly slow (no big insult), meaning that you might consider formatting it.

Well your computer looks like it should run the emulation fine. The world map for Dragon Quest 4 is in 3d right? That takes a lot more processor than the typical game, so you might want to consider changing settings like shadowmanwkp has suggested - sound off, etc. Also, make sure the 3d renderer selected is nocash, because opengl tends to run a lot slower. As for the other problem, I'm not quite sure why that is happening. It sounds like everything runs smoothly for a while, but perhaps after a while it is overloading? Might be an idea to do a general cleanup of your pc, in case there are background services taking up memory. It could also be overheating too, so that is something to check out. If it is, a cheap solution is to get a typical desk fan and place it next to your pc.Anyway, hopefully between the last two posts, something will have worked out ^^;; Good luck~

As for DQ 4 DS slowing down on world map, I think that's a problem with NO$GBA. As in, it happens for everyone (happens to me).

Well I'm about to test it myself now, so I'll let you all know how that goes.. This laptop is only a month old so if it doesnt work on this, it probably wont work anywhere with nocash for the moment..*update* Alright it just doesn't work properly yet, I even had the same problem. Guess we'll have to wait for the next release =x

Thanks for all the tips, I did change a bit emulation speed from the default, I changed it to Realtime*2 Auto and it seems faster. Overland is still slow but from what I read it's everyone.And yeah my laptop might be overheating, it is usually very hot and the emulator makes it go crazy. Never made the connection before, thanks!

@Blade118You should have set it like it says in the first post:

Increasing Emulation Speed: No$gba offers you the possibility of chooseing the speed of your play, just go to Options->Emulation setup and in "Emulation speed", choose one of the options, the fastest being "Unlimited MHz, Disaster 10%".

A quick question. Time Hollow, is it playable? I played the game for a while, and after I 'found' Ashley, the game crashed. I got a "rom crashed" window, and no$ closed down. Is there a save file available to get beyond that point?

Time Hollow is playable. I finish the game and I was using no$gba v2.6a. You probably have the version of the rom that is missing some bytes.I don't know if DGEmu have the correct version of the rom. I got mine here: http://www.gmforum.o...p?topic=45185.0.I use the rom of that site and except for minor graphic glitch the game run perfectly.

Yep, my problem was just overheating. I put the laptop on some supports instead of having it in contact with the heated wood, and now no more slowdowns! But emulation speed doesn't really work for making something faster up to 100%. For going past 100% I was already aware of that. On GBC games I can speed up 25x, lol. GBA I think 5-7x. DS 1.5x or 2x for some games.

I,m wondering if the rom's working like it should of if it just the emulator. Here's two pics of the proble,. The problem is that weird bars often appear occasionally and keep me from reading the text sometimes.before the title screen, first thing we seePosted ImagePosted Imagefist thing we see without the barsPosted ImagePosted Imagein the game withPosted ImagePosted Imagein the game withoutPosted ImagePosted ImageNote if often appear when someone uses magic and when I change screensEdit: I tought of telling it but I forgot. I'm sorry. I'm using the no$GBA.

Edited by sapphir, 28 September 2008 - 04:31 PM.
Can you please state what emulator you're using first? I'm assuming that you're using No$gba. So... I'll merge the topics now. Also, You might want to fix the images... way too small.
