Visual Boy Advance Help!!

[06nbarnhill]

I just downloaded it and tried to run a game but in the top bar it just keeps saying different percentages and doesn't do anything. Should I just wait it out or is something wrong?

What version of VBA are you using? and what game are you trying?

[06nbarnhill]

This is what I am Using
VisualBoyAdvance-1.8.0-beta2

The Game is
ind-pse2.gba
It should be Pokemon Saphire.

try using a version of vba that isnt a beta version, ive been using 1.7.2 and i havent had any problems with it.

[06nbarnhill]

Thanks I'm downloading it right now.

[06nbarnhill]

It still doesn't work. I don't think it is the version.

Is there something special I need to do with the games before I can open them?

[TchuBacha]

It could be that the game needs a patch to run successfully. The game could be corrupt try downloading it again. Or could be similar to a problem i had where fire red wouldnt run so i deleted the .ini (contains configuation settings like screen size etc)that appears after you start VBA. Then i ran vba again and loaded the game and it ran perfectly.

You might need the GBA Bios (gba.bios , gbabios.bin...) as it's recommend to properlly run most games. Also try another graphic mode, like GDI, DirectDraw, D3D or OpenGL
