XBoyAdvance - GBA/GBC/GB/SGB/SGB2 Emulator for XBox v4
what's New : - Fixed support for long filenames (some games would load, e.g. off CD media, but save games would not save. Or some games wouldn't load from network share at all.) - Bugfixed screenshot display from favorites listing - Other bugfixes/UI/Skin changes to bring it up to date with other emu releases

Yeah, I can't wait to try this one. I'll give that DBZ game one more try I think, if it doesn't work this time, I'll buy my little brother a GBA with the game, and that can be his Christmas present
Not that I'm rich or anything mind you, but I just like to see him happy
But just to make sure, this Emu does support .zips, doesn't it ?
And if I change the name on the zipped rom , does that matter if the name inside the zip is different ?

Xport,
A lot of my regular GB Roms are gzipped, and the emu seems to have a problem with that. Normally, I'd just accept it and go on with it, but my NES Roms are as well, and FCEU seems to have no problems with it. I have no idea how much effort it would take, and it's admittedly a small piddling problem, but if it wouldn't take too much effort and you're up to it, that would be amazing of you.

I have a question or 2 re: skinning
I've been making an Xboyadvance skin tonight and i'm having troubles aligning my text in the popup menu, whenever I move the text the picture (popup pic) moves with it putting it out of wack again. it's really frustrating and I can't get it right (this happened with my neogenesis skin too).
Also I (think) I done what the readme said and selected the overwrite to D:\ etc but it didn't create a settings.ini for me and it didn't overwrite any of the others.
anyway my skin looks nice IMO, gotta hit the sack now so i'll finish it tomorrow and post it at allxboxskins.com I'll d/l the latest Xboyadvance too, maybe it'll make skinning a bit easier. check my screens anyway, hope you like klonoa-

jizzlobber - For popup configuration, set the text horiz/vert alignment both to centered and leave the X/Y offsets at 0.

no that hasn't fixed it... I should say I have a pretty short popup box, maybe that isn't helping. I mean it's shory and wide like the front of the xbox.
i'll try making another one.

This just isn't happening for me, there's something stuffing things up. I can save me settings but next time I boot Xboy it won't use my skin... I've tried using the default skin (threw all my skin files in there) and it doesn't work although I think it's using my settings.ini
I tried setting Xboy to search D drive (edited the ini) for skins but it still looks in F, I deleted both ini files in the saves folder.
is there anything else saving my old unwanted settings? I can't complete my skin with this going on, I can only hope to get someone to finish it for me if I can't work out why Xboy is being funky.

Make your popup bkg 350 pixels wide x 250 pixels high. The "border width" setting specifies how wide your popup bkg border is (in pixels.) (This is the width of your *border* - not the width of the entire bkg image.) Fiddle with that to make sure text fits in the popup box.
When you make changes to the INI files on your D: drive, are you remembering to "force reload" from the configuration menu? Have you done a "select skin" from the main menu to load your skin?
Sounds like you're making things more complicated for yourself than need be. As the instructions say, all you have to do is create a new directory in the emuskins directory and put your media files in there. Then load up the emu, choose "select skin" and select that new directory. Then go to "skin configuration" and set things up how you want. As a last step, select "overwrite D:\ *.ini...." and it will write a "settings.ini" file into the skin directory that you last selected from "select skin" (which should be the new directory you created.)
Note - if you're running the emu from DVD-R or CDRW media, you obviously cannot expect the "overwrite D:\*.ini files" selection to work....

ok thanks for that, the force reload thing helped.
yeah the popup screen is the ONLY problem, the rest went smooth, kinda- I remember selecting my other screens and they were shifted over to the left, the only way I could get them right was to load a different skin first, THEN my skin. I think that's what is happening here because the popup menu is shifted a bit to the left.
anyway i'll get back into it, see if i can get it
thanks for the help.

Just unzip them and re-zip them with romzipper!
