VisualBoyAdvance-M

if I had a drum roll I would use it now, but this is as good as it get's

 

Introducing a whole new vba-m release using a brand new interface using WxWidgets, special thanks to darktjm for coding the interface code and donating it to our use, this will allow for a more universal/cross platform interface for all operating systems

 

currently though win32 and linux releases will be made available (not that I personally don't like macs because I do like them, I just don't have one to compile a release for you guys [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/unsure.png[/img]/emoticons/unsure@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />)

 

today though I'll be releasing the first binary for windows users

some stuff worth noting for this first binary is that ffmpeg is statically linked as well as cairo graphics, which will be subject to change in future builds to help reduce executable bloat.

 

to download this release is here

 

also please note, there will be bound to be bugs in this release

some notable is save states both loading and saving will cause the emulator to crash occasionally but saving via games save feature seems to be working.

In short, if you are going to be reporting bugs, be detailed about it, what you were trying to do, operating system, anything less than detailed will be ignored.

Is there any difference in bugfix/features from the Pre-Wx svn1024?

is this svn1025 just a conversion of svn1024 to Wx?

 

btw, this wxvbam 1025 doesn't seems to works for me, it gives alot of "file '', line xxx: '=' expected." errors when i run the exe (where xxx is 1-495 and no file name is mentioned), but the pre-wx 1024 works like a charm for me [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

my system is a cheap chinese netbook with Intel Atom N270 + GMA950, my OS is WinXP Home updated to the latest one including it's .NET(2, 3.5, 4) and all Ms products & redist that's installed in it.

 

When running the downloaded emulator, I get an error about a file and such. Here's the output of it:

Plus, I'm also unable to compile since svn 1016. The next version I got was svn 1022, then 1025, and neither of them back been able to compile for me. I've used the methods originally used to compile from 978 up to 1016, but since then I've been getting errors. I am using Microsoft Visual Studios 2010 Ultimate. What dependancies have changed since 1016 and what will I need to be able to compile this again?

 

And sorry for the long post.

try reading the svn log.

When running the downloaded emulator, I get an error about a file and such. Here's the output of it:

I can compiled the Pre-Wx svn1024 with VS2010 ultimate just fine, all i did was install vs2010, then install OpenAL core sdk and install directx sdk (you can get the sdk links from the Doc\DevInfo.txt)

also don't forget to place the project in a folder that has no space in it because NASM doesn't works properly if the path has space in it.

Tried to build the latest wx version from SVN on ArchLinux and it seems that EXECUTE_PROCESS on the line 31 of the src/wx/CMakeLists.txt lacks the closing bracket that causes CMake error.

 

 

yes I know, I sent a patch but it hasn't been applied to svn yet, one of the downsides of not having svn access on my part

why don't you have svn access? you're one of the users with commit privs.

Wow, that's a huge file size for vba-m. I just started using wxWidgets so forgive my ignorance, but did you link it to a monolithic library? If it was, is there any way to link to several smaller libraries? It might get you a smaller file size.

blame ffmpeg
