I'm playing Final Fantasy IV, but the text stays on the screen and then gets overlapped so it is very hard to play. I'm using No$gba 2.6a. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

This problem is already known, use ideas instead of no$gba and it will run fine. You can download ideas from the pinned topics.

I downloaded ideas 1.0.2.2 and tried it already, but the text still can't be seen. Am I missing something?POINTS were deducted for this post by Channel28Please refer to the forum rules to find out why your points were deducted.

That's a problem with the emulator, you can't do anything about it. Don't ask when the latest version comes out though, because the maker of no$gba has abandoned the project and the 2.7 versions that are out on the internet are fake and might ruin your computer

You need to set the right save-type for games. This is however, a problem with the older versions of no$gba, you can download the latest version (2.6a) from the pinned topics. If games still give you this error, then set it manually by going to options-->emulation options and changing the "nds backup data". Then press ok and restart the rom (or press *) and it will work.

You know how, when you open up No$gba and try to open a rom, it gives you that screen with a list? And how it says that, if what you are looking for ISN'T on the list, you can find it with that directory button? How do you put a rom on the list? (It gives you some basic instructions on making a listfile, but I have no idea how it works)

If you want to play an NDS rom, click on Cartridge Menu (Filename). And go to the folder where you keep your NDS roms.

I have a question about the roms. Why is it that some roms are not .nds files, but .7Z files or .rar files. and they won't play on no$gba emulator. do they just not work with that emulator, or what.

They're compressed files, done to save space. You have to extract them first with a program like 7-Zip.

I know how to open roms, but how do I create a listfile so they'll appear on that list? Just for convenience, because it's a feature available to me. Anybody know?

Your "list" consists of putting all ROMs in the same folder and only using that folder in no$gba.

(It gives you some basic instructions on making a listfile, but I have no idea how it works)

You manually edit the Files.lst file with entries for ROMs. The format of entries will have to beTitle>path_of_the_ROMPaths can be absolute or relative to the dir where NO$GBA.exe is located. Don't remember for sure, but paths probably CAN'T have spaces in it, otherwise NO$GBA will read them wrong. Example:
Digimon World: Dawn>Games\DigiDawn.ndsDigimon World: Dusk>Games\DigiDusk.ndsPokemon Mystery Dungeon - Explorers of Darkness>Games\PokemonMysteryDungeon-ExplorersofDarkness[USA].ndsJump Ultimate Stars>Games\jump.ndsCastlevania: Order of Ecclesia>Games\xpa-cvoe.nds
(I use the "Games" subfolder for ROMs, not the SLOT folder, that's why my lst file looks like that)EDIT: Oh, and be sure to put the lst file in the same folder as NO$GBA.exe. POINTS were awarded for this post by GBATEST

I can't save in some of my games I play. for example, Pokemon diamond. I got it as a 7Z file, and used WinRar to extract it. I also have the bios a firmware in my emulator folder. Some of my other games qork, such as Rune Factory, but pokemon won't save. I look in the battery folder, and there is no .SAV file for it. Help?

Make sure you're using the 2.6a version, and have the save type set to Auto. You can find it in the first post.

I have a question about setting up a controller with the emulator. (I have an xbox 360 controller connected to my computer and it works fine for my SNES/ PSX/ etc emulators.)First I should ask is it possible for the emulator to recognize I have the controller. Second, how do I set it up so the xbox 360 controller buttons work in the games? In the other emulators (for other consoles) I usually just have to go to the control settings, click in the box next to a button control (Ex: A button [ ] ) and then press the button on my controller I want to correspond with that button. I tried doing that NO$GBA and nothing happened. Help?
