Wrong way to go about asking for helpConcerning pokemon if you actually play you the tutourial you would realise that the start menu is not opened by pressing the start button.It is actually assigned to the X button.Next time please read before making yourself seem stupid.I do hope this will help you

You can not exchange the save files between D/P and Platinum. It works to exchange the save files between Diamond and Pearl, though, and even if they come from ROMs with different languages. I think it will also work to exchange the save files from the Japanese Platinum to the US Version of Platinum when it comes out.If you have problems please make sure that you renamed the save files exactly to the same name as your nds game is called. E.g. if your Diamond game is called lgc-pkmd.nds then your save file in the no$gba Battery folder should be called lgc-pkmd.SAVIf you are not sure about the exact naming, just create a new game and look how it is called after saving. Then just take this name for the save game you downloaded.o.OOtherwise it could be that the save files are in uncompressed format.If that is the case: Open NO$GBA.INI in an editor (e.g. notepad if you are a windows user) and scroll down to the line:SAV/SNA File Format == Compressedand change it to:SAV/SNA File Format == UncompressedI think you have to start NO$GBA and to save once with the new settings in order to completly take over the new settings.

It's like the battery folder, except for save states. But save states only work for the GBA function of no$gba. If you try to use them for NDS games, it'll crash no$gba.

Make sure that you have no$gba 2.6a and that it is set to Automatic save detection.If you have no$gba 2.6, you need to set the save type. Read the first post.

As stated in the first post,

Q: In Megaman Starforce:Leon/Dragon/Pegasus, why can't I see monsters on No$gba?A: Use No$gba v2.6. Remember to set the save type to Flash 256KBytes.

The problems with pegasus, leo, and dragon are the same as with ninjaXzerker, and the save-type is mostly the same if the game is from the same series.Try using no$gba 2.6a, because I tried using it, and the game worked fine (meaning that the enemies can be seen, so not slowdown problems, because they vary with computers). Be sure that you use no$gba 2.6a, not 2.6 because there have been some fixes in 2.6a, you can download it from the first page, or from the pinned topics.

Are you sure your options look like this? Posted ImageNote: Megaman Starforce is playable with 2.6a. As long as you use these options. In my experience.

Emulation and Controls Setup WindowPosted Image Posted Image

I think these options are outdated. Probably from No$gba 2.5. May I suggest this one?The differences are the '3d render' and the 'auto savetype'.POINTS were awarded for this post by GBATEST

I'm wonder ig you guy's and gal's will be able to help me with my problem with No$gba.For a while now I've only been able to mange to get 2-5 fps out of it when a few month's ago I was able to get between 30-60 fps, I havent changed any thing in my emulator setting's I just havent played it for a while. I've tried a fresh re-install but that's only up'd my frame rate to 10-15 fps, I have left the emu setting's as standard so could this be the problem ?Thanks.

Gee I wonder why NO$GBA's author has kept silent for over a year. The updates were going very well then all of a sudden they stopped...maybe he finally went bankrupt? I would love to see future updates, especially the save and load state feature that has been lacking from the very beginning. In all honesty the absence of this feature has made me not play most games. And before I get points deducted for whatever reason, I already know that there is not much that can be done about it. I just wanted to throw it out there.And if you were wondering, yes, I already read the question and its answer concerning the likeliness that 2.7 will be released.POINTS were deducted for this post by GBATESTPlease refer to the forum rules to find out why your points were deducted.--So predictable

Sir VG why did you deduct points? I know he gave me a link, but I went to it and couldn't find what I needed.So again, I'd like to ask for a DIRECT LINK to download an earlier version of this emulator that won't make the sound on new super mario bros. sound like garbage?

If you go to the link, there is a direct link there. Look for the words: No$gba Freeware Version Downloads

You should get no$gba ver 2.6a and have it set to Auto save detect. You get get it from the pinned topic.If you still have a problem, than post what game it is and what version of no$gba you are using.

Pokemon Diamond freezes at the end of a battle. For some reason, it just freezes on No$gba v2.6a. Any suggestions? XDAlso for the speed, " in "Emulation speed", choose one of the options, the fastest being "Unlimited MHz, Disaster 10%"", Under options I can't find "Emulation Speed"

Is there a way to make Dragon Quest 5 run faster on the world map via emulator? I did the tips you listed on the first page to speed it up but nothing changes. I make the speed unlimited and turn the sound to off and low quality. No other way?
