At tehskeen, emu_kidid has released a few improvements to the VBA Emulator

Download:
VBA172_GC&Wii.rar
Homebrew Channel Pack

I decided that I would do a few little minor additions to this emulator before I dropped it totally from my list and so here’s the results.


Wii Port
Wiimote / Classic Controller / Gamecube Pad support
Front-SD ROM Loading
Front-SD SRAM Saving and Loading
MEM2 ROM Storage for fast access
In-game Menu with ability to exit to loader (Home button)
Auto frame skip for those core heavy games


GC Port
SDGecko ROM Loading
SDGecko SRAM Saving and Loading
In-game Menu with ability to exit to loader (X+Y)
Auto frame skip to give you the illusion of full FPS


Please note, there’s not much of a GUI if anything. The only way you can load another ROM is to exit to the loader through the in-game menu or simply reload the DOL.


Please note, this is coded in PAL60, if you change it you will probably mess up the timing and things will go horribly wrong due to frame-skip relying on this.


Roms must be placed in /VBA/ROMS/ and cannot be compressed.
Saves will be placed in /VBA/SAVES/ and will automatically be loaded if they exist.
The GBA BIOS file is to be placed in /VBA/BIOS/BIOS.GBA.


If you want to use a Wiimote/Classic Controller, turn it on during the ROM selection menu for it to be detected.


Full source code is included. You will need to wait until the current libOGC CVS is updated to devkitpro r15 and actually working. I compiled using a modified devkitPro r14 and libogc from CVS. Use the pre-compiled GBA.o (done with level2 optimizations) if you wish to compile this software again. (GBA.d will need to be modified) This is a messy build process but it’s the only way to get it working for now.
