- Savestate and Battery save support
YES, this is what has been keeping me from downloading the other GBA/GBC emulator only because I love using save state to save in the middle of a battle when I need to go somewhere and then get straight into it again when I get back.
Thanks so much for your hard work guys much appreciated! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Isn't there already a fully functional GBA Emulator on the 360 or am I missing something.?
Read the readme link. The author explains why he did the port.

Yes there is. I wasn't aware that once something was done it couldn't be attempted by another developer. In any case, the readme explains why I ported it.
In the end the choice is yours on which emulator to play.

Also, if you press 'B' when it asks you to log in, it presents you with the option to 'Exit' and 'Genesis360 Login'... this is not Genesis360
*edit* scaling looks much better with the filter on... so do the gfx in general, actually. Can't wait for the next release!
*edit 2* Can we get an emu that doesn't need to have a user signed in to a profile? I can play any real xbox game without a profile, and I can sign out as soon as I'm playing a game, so really, wtf? What gives on the supposed "forced profile" actions?

I'm using this version over LoveMHZ version simply because it does not crash when using large complete romsets.
My one gripe .....On the menu screen :
Could you implement a option that when you press Right on the D Pad that it jumps to the next letter in the list. Scrolling through 25 GB of Roms to find the game i want to play takes forever but if i could jump alphabetically i could reduce the time spent looking.
Keep up the good work.

Sound is a bit dodgy, & scaling needs some work, too, but great work. I'm lovin' it

Sound in which roms?
As for the profile. Its used to store favorites and settings, so its not going to change. Having said that, source code has been provided so feel free to build your own versions.

left shoulder will also add the selected rom to your favorites list. Then select 'Favorites' from the main menu.

Sorry, I had the wrong emu loaded (blond moment). Everything seems awesome so far in this one! Graphics don't look too shabby in 1080p, either.
There are some issues with sound in terms of slowdown, bad sampling, too perhaps. Tested with Final Fantasy VI

XeBoy has had this since the second, maybe first release

Oh LOL I never downloaded it so I never got a chance to look at the read me. I thought the front page X-S report gave all the features so it never raised any interest
I guess I'll have to try that out too, or read the xbins.org link to the readme. Boy do I feel stupid.I wasn't trying to bash XeBoy, as I hope didn't seem implied, I just didn't know save states where supported
Hope all your other project are going along smoothly, LoveMHz, I see your making great progress on Love364.

Tried Metroid Zero yesterday and it runs smooth as silk so far (some minor slowdown in areas with alot of enemies, but im sure that will be sorted out later!)
A BIG thanks for this port! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/love.gif)

Any chance the scaling issues are gonna be fixed? The Gameboy color and lower games only take up 2/3rd of the screen when scaling is turned off and the GBA games are too big cutting off part of the image.
Also mapping the gameboy dpad to the 360 dpad as well as the 360 left joypad would be nice. Customizable controls would be good too.
But anyways thanks for the good work. Hope you continue to develop this and turn it into a perfect emulator for the 360. Polish it up and fix the scaling issues and also jtag users would be set on getting our gameboy fixin.

I have visual studio 2008 running but when i go to load it tells me that i am missing thelibSDLx360 and that I am missing dependencies for TinyXml and vbam.
If this is not allowed just say so and I will remove it.
Thanks

This port is awesome, great work dev, it runs way better than XeBoy for me... I'd just like one feature added - remapping the gamepad buttons, I always found the B A configuration awkward for games like Super Mario (I'm an old SNES player, and holding Y for running and B for jumping feels way more natural)... So if you could add that to the next release, this emu would be perfect as far as i'm concerned.
I also agree that the Y button makes a better B button than actually 360 B button. Luckily you can change that right now, dont have to wait for the next release.
I did some snooping around the vbam.cfg and you can change it.
Load vbam.cfg in notepad or someother text editor and scroll down a little bit to find:
CODE
Joy0_B=10081
Change the 1 at the end into a 2 so it now reads:
CODE
Joy0_B=10082
Save and exit notepad, then you should be all set.

Thnx man, I'm gonna go play with it now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Still, it would be nice to have an in-emu menu for these settings.

yeah you can adjust the cfg file at least for how to get what you need. Ill look at config options via the menu later on but to be honest its lower priority.
Hey lantus any chance you could let us know what you are going to try to implement/fix for the next version?

scaling issues with gb/gbc roms and more performance tuning. FF IV and FF V for example still slow down in places
Im having scaling issues with the GBA games as well. They are too big for the screen and they are partially cut off around the border. I am using the Component Cables at 1080i maybe its my TV. I am pretty sure that Snes360 scales perfectly on most games for me and Genesis360 as well.
Anyways good to hear, one thing that I was really hoping for in XeBoyAdvnace was full screen GB/GBC games but LoveMHZ got busy with Love364 (which is fine with me
)
