Why KVisualBoyAdvance doesn't detect my .gbc and .gb rom images? Why they all have to be zip compressed?

Why KVisualBoyAdvance looks only for files that are in .zip? Why my .gb and .gba roms isn't found?

Hi, I tryed to make this software to work...I found some GBA games ...that are listed in the main window of the program. But when I select a game in the list and hit the Start button it says, Fatal Error ... Please set the path for VisiualBoyAdvance binary.

What do I have to do ? I'm stuck :(

Someone please help me.

Many thanks in advance.

in the register OPTIONS, you have to select the subregister PATH.
at fist textfield, you have to select /usr/bin/visualboyadvance.

Dont forgot to check the save-field at OPTIONS / EMULATOR!

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/1660579/com/kvisualboyadvance-0.3.1-1plf.i586.rpm.html

you can download this rpm and trasform it with alien, works fine :)

only thing to do left is:
sudo ld --whole-archive -share -o /usr/lib/libXinerama.so.1 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXinerama.a

because debian has no such lib ;)

Is this project dead? The site on the link is not found.

I was going to giving up kvba, so I was trying to see how was kvisualboyadvance going.

Does this work on FreeBSD? i'm pretty new to using freebsd but i have it set to accept linux binaries.

I tend to believe that it does not... unless somebody will port it to BSD also...

Im pretty new to linux, will this app work on Gentoo?

Yes it will, write "# emerge kvisualboyadvance" in the command line and emerge will install it ;-)

I made an ebuild for KVisualBoyAdvance.

Can be downloaded along with other ebuilds at http://flameeyes.web.ctonet.it/

I'd been wanting something like this, since dealing with the command line anytime I want to load a rom is a bit ridiculous.

I think the textboxes for path and game directory should be editable, since it's just silly not to. Also, I want to run VBA through artsdsp, but the loader isn't accepting that as a valid command even when I manually put it in the configuration file.

Other things that would be nice are more of VBA's options, especially things like BIOS file and controller settings.

external BIOS now can be configured and used from the GUI... :-)

:-)

Would be nice, if you posted the controls here (or on the website), as they aren't described in the README.

pistooli

will be corrected... until that:

# Left - Left Arrow
# Right - Right Arrow
# Up - Up Arrow
# Down - Down Arrow
# A - Z
# B - X
# L - A
# R - S
# Start - ENTER
# Select - BACKSPACE
# Speed up - SPACE

cheers - pistooli

hi,

you should think about using layout handlers since the text doesn't fit into the window on my system. this can be seen on these screenshots:

anyway, thanks for this application.

ciao,
Michael.

When I do the make it give me an error:

...
Making all in src

There is a version for QT 3.1? I'm using Mandrake 9.2 with KDE 3.1.3 and QT 3.1.2

well as it says the version of uic you are using is older than mine... which is strange... this program even compiles on a Lindows 4.5 machine which has KDE 3.0.x version only, so its QT must be older than yours.
are you just doing ./configure, make, make install?

cheers - peter
