XBoyAdvance - GBA/GBC/GB/SGB/SGB2 Emulator for XBox v18

What's new :

 - Updated to v1.8.0b sources
 - GUI brought up to date with any missing features
 - Much more robust mp3 playlist features
 - People who cannot display 480i should be able to see something now
 - 480p, 720p  should work fine now
 - Previously, all save state files, config files, sram files were stored in one
   directory.  Now each game gets its own directory.  This will allow for 4096
   games.  4096 is the maximum number of files/subdirectories that can exist in one
   directory on the XBox.  Existing files are moved automatically.
 - Fixed bug with ISO9660 DVD images where information could not be read past the first
   2GB of data on the disc.  The directory would be displayed fine, but when you
   selected a game that existed past the first half of the disc, it would fail.
 - Video lines shifted up to fix problem with lines getting cut off on the bottom.
 - Fixed white strip in upper left corner when emulator plays first game.
 - New option to autoload the last game you played upon launching the emulator
   Find it on the second page of Configuration->General
 - When you change the save type for GBA, the SRAM file will automatically be deleted.
   Previously, if you did not delete the save file if one was already created,
   it would get read in which caused problems.  This is useful for when you select the
   wrong initial SRAM type for certain games (like Dragon Ball Z).
 - Added locked-aspect-ratio mode when resizing the game screen
 - Implemented a few misc GBA bugfixes from various other sources


Enjoy!

Thanks for the awesome update. I don't post that much anymore unless it's either to thank someone personally, or help when help's needed.


again, thanks! I've been checking xbox-scene.com's web/forums daily (Refreshing quite a bit as well) to see if this update had been released (I remember from another post you said an update was coming soon, So You got me excited about the scene again). Many thanks on this one!

That was a moronic question. You are missing the whole purpose of emulation. Why should we not play GBA games on a television?

Well I for one hate the tiny screens on handheld systems.

Mobility means nothing to me. A great game is always that much greater on a big-arsed TV.  tongue.gif


Thankies XPort. happy.gif

I second that.

I will agree out that some games do not always look too hot when blown up onto a big screen tv, but some come off looking just as nice as a SNES game.

The whole reason I started playing GBA on the TV was for advance wars 1 and 2. Why would i want to play it on my small GBA screen when i can have it blown up on a 47 inch screen, with much better audio to boot?

The ability to use save states/ HD resolutions and all the other options are great too.
