So sue me lol I was working late on that. trying to balance a full time job and working on vba-m isn't easy.

But yeah, because of said job I didn't have much time to build a binary yet, I was working on updating my toolchain and making sure it was ready. I should have a windows binary available soon and Caelum should have a MacOs binary available soon.

Solus already has a build in their repositories (beat archlinux to the punch [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/tongue.png[/img]/emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />)

Anyways I'm getting off work now, it'll be an hour (as of said message.) Before I can post the binary.

• remove the default F11 keybinding for save state

 

• document how to provice symbolic backtraces

You meant 'provide' right? c --> d lol [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink.png[/img]/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

• added executable extension for sdl binary

COOL!

 

• minor code cleanup

always a good thing.. [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink.png[/img]/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

This update is great but I want make a question. Is it possible that the red letters that come out when loading the ROM and when you take a screenshot do not appear? Thanks for your work.

[hooddy]

Please create an Win32 build. There is x64 build only.

[ZachBacon]

At this point, 64bit is the new norm. I don't see any real reason to have a 32bit build, most modern computers have a 64bit enabled chip that is capable of running a 64bit OS. That is just my feelings in the matter

[thievesking]

Why when you press LT or RT key on xbox360 controller, VBA-M interpret each button as two different?

[thievesking]

How can I enable Xaudio2 in the las vba-m version? I have low noise. Some one can help me?

 

Regards.

Is there any way to keep the emulator configuration within the folder itself or is it stuck writing to appdata now?

[Dbfan4life]

Just tried this version and golden sun the lost age has become an all around bug/glitchfest. Sticking with the older version till this is fixed.

[fRikimaru]

Every year I come back here searching for a new version of the best emulator looking for a gamma, bright option, but never comes. The emulator has been enhanced almost to perfection but still has the bright issue, i wonder if someday it is going to be fixed.
