Can't load zipped GB rom and slow turbo

Post by jjforums »

Hello!

 

I'm moving from VBA 1.8 to VBA-M and I'm facing these problems:

 

First, I can't load zipped GB rom, I have to extract it to load:

And when I press turbo button I get 30006000% of speed, in VBA I got 10000% constant speed acceleration.

 

Another thing, this is a suggestion, is to put only one option to load games and not separate by console like (Open GBA, Open GBC, Open GB) just one (Open rom).

 

THanks, and congratulations about the project, very good emulator, the old VBA filters don't work anymore.


Can't load even GBA roms if it is zipped... Why?

our version of FEX only supports ZIP using DEFLATE

So zips using deflate64, bzip, ppmd or lzma will fail

 

 

And when I press turbo button I get 30006000% of speed, in VBA I got 10000% constant speed acceleration.

 

VBA does alot of things wrong,

Luckily that 10,000 - 6000 difference doesn't mean its 40% slower in real emulation.

 

Another thing, this is a suggestion, is to put only one option to load games and not separate by console like (Open GBA, Open GBC, Open GB) just one (Open rom).

 

I'm going to deny that suggestion, i prefer my roms in individual folders.

-And it was commonly requested early on in vba-m development.

Thanks for you answer.

 

How do I use DEFLATE (I don't even know what it means) in Windows 7 x64? How do I solve this problem using Windows 7 x64? I just want to load zipped roms, it's easier and roms are smaller when zipped.

 

It's ok this way too...

what are you zipping the files with?

 

the legacy compression in winzip is deflate

7z offers all the various types, but i think defaults to deflate.
