Hi...I'm trying to play something like "Tamagotchi Corner Shop 3" and all I get is sounds...like the music or something. I have those "BIOS" and firmware.bin things, but it still won't show anything. Just black screen. Why is that? And can I fix it?

Since this is a newer game, the emulator might have a problem emulating it.

Make sure that the cheats you are using are for the same country since a cheat code for European game will not work for a USA game. Also make sure that after you copy the code, that you click the box next to the code to active it.

Rune Factory 2 (scratchy audio for voices), Any way to fix it?I'm playing Rune Factory 2 using No$gba and the opening movie (as well as voices within the game when characters talk) has scratchy audio. I was wondering if there's any easy fix for this issue? Note I'm a complete newbie to this stuff so instructions are appreciated.

There aren't any fixes for this. I've tried out some stuff, and nothing worked. You're gonna have to wait for a new version of No$.

Phantasy Star Zero:Error starts popping out shortly after the game starts, after character creation.Using:No%gba v2.6aSomewhere I read it's a piracy block, so is there anyway to go around it? Or is it not playable at all no matter what?

Hi. I just downloaded Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon. It works fine during the opening cinametics but after the opening movie, both screens on the NDS Emulator go white and no options appear for me to start the game. I am using No$gba v2.6a. What should I do?

Q: In Rune Factory, why can't I get the game to run on No$gba?A: Use No$gba v2.6.

And use the correct save type.If your save game gets lost everytime you try and load the game, use save slot 2. Save stats don't work in No$ gba.

You have to use the old version. Something was updated in the emulator code from 2.6 to 2.6a that makes it that you can not play it on 2.6a. You need to use 2.6.

Rune factory actually is playable on no$gba 2.6a....I saw a guy on emu-forms had a reply saying how his sister got it to work and she told him how she did it....As the cutscene plays through...press the A button as the sunlight shines on the screen or a little before that...after a few tries i finally was able to get it to work...its a bit stressful though because your gonna have to do that every time you start to play it...but after that everything works fine...Maybe you should just use 2.6..but im just spreading the word :(

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

Thank you *so* much!I did have one other thing, though... do you know if I can use a null character or something to replace spaces, or do I have to rename things to make sure that there are no spaces in the path?Again, thanks, this was a great help.Edit: Sorry for spamming, I just tried it and it did not work with spaces. For anyone else who wants to try this, you can't have spaces in the path (but you can include them in the title).

So. Fire Emblem crashes after playing a while. But it seems to me it crashes at random moments.Any fixes for that? Or just wait for the new version?

I have the most recent No$gba and got Harvest Moon Island of Happiness.Well one of the problems is that I keep getting empty blocks that I guess were suppose to have something written on them. Like in the beginning of the game when they ask you what gender are you, two block blue blocks appear. I mean I can figure out what's what, but it'd be nicer later on in the gameplay when I'm able to see the choices. Anyone know what's wrong?Also, my emulator keyboard won't work even though I configured it and saved the options. Bleh!

Nothing. There's nothing you can do but play on a flash cart.

Since the emulator is still being developed, there are times that the graphics are not shown. You still should be able to click it as stated:

Q: Can you get pass the name screen in harvestmoon island of happiness?Yes, Read this:

I assume you are using no$gba, cuz i had the same problem as well.The 'end' button isn't visible. But you can still click it. Posted Image

The only other options is to use a real DS and a flashcart.What do you need the keyboard does not work? Have you tried other games? You might want to create a new folder on the hard drive and extract the emulator to the new folder and try setting it up again.

When I meant block, I didn't mean the END button.I mean the actual rectangular shaped . . . one :schmoll:.Posted ImageEdit: Apparently my keyboard works now. Turns out the game relies on stylus alone.

I'm having a problem with Chrono Trigger DS. Early in the game (about 5 mins in) when Marle gets teleported somewhere using Lucca's machine and you jump in after her, a hypnotic "Traveling through dimensions" image is shown. The problem is it never ends, it's like the game just freezes there and never continues. I tried pressing every button and I waited a full 5 mins before giving up. I reset the rom and it happened again. Is there any way to get passed this?

Thank you GBATEST I was able to get Chrono Trigger to work =)Now I'm having a problem with Dragon Quest IV. Namely it's extremely laggy when I'm not inside buildings (It might just be the audio.. but the percentage pops up at the top of the emulator saying 60% when I'm walking around outside of buildings) Is there a fix for this?(I would've searched the thread since this is probably asked before.. but I'm sure you're aware the search function is offline)

Q: The game is too slow, how can I increase the speed?A: There are a couple of things you can do to improve the speed: * Shut down all unnecessary programs, such as MSN Messenger. * Go to Options->Emulation setup, then in "Emulation Speed" choose "Unlimited MHz, Disaster 10%". * Disable the sound in the emulator options. Sound is required by some games.Other than the above, there is nothing you can do more since the emulator is still not optimized for most games.

There's a lot of info in the first post of this thread, so give it a read. :)
