Can the emulator launch ROMs through the command line? I've tried opkrun /path/to/emulator /path/to/rom but it doesn't seem to work.

I've finished Shadowgate Classic with Ohboy, How nostalgic!

.

I love the "Alt menu combo", I think more emulators should have it, it's a fabulous option

By the way, could you add a L+R combo?

hi-ban · « **Reply #162 on:** November 10, 2014, 02:39:45 pm »

L and R are bindable to other functions, including save/load state, so they would interfere. Select+Start already does the job.

Here is a new build, 20141110:

- Now there are separate "Main Settings" and "Video Settings" subsections.
- Added "System" option to force DMG mode (monochrome GB) or enable "GBA Enhanced" features in some GBC games.
- Added ROM browser remembering the last selected position in the romlist.
- Fixed graphical menu issue in which you could select a non-selectable field when selection-looping.

Download in the first post of this thread.

thanks for the update

i like the idea of ROM browser remembering the last selected position. though with this latest build 20141110 for me it goes back to the gmenu when selecting 'Load ROM'. it happens whenever i go from one game to the next. also a few times it wasn't saving the settings such as rom path and video settings though haven't noticed any further similar issues since

I don't have any of those issues.

When you change the settings, be sure to select "Apply & Save". If you just select "Apply", it will apply the settings only for the current game session, but it wont save them.

Also, this new build now saves the Main and video settings in separate config files. So everyone should go into each (Main and Video) menu and save the settings at least once, for the new files to be created. Once you do that, you shouldn't have any problems.

Which is your exact rom path?

Xaijiqq · « **Reply #165 on:** November 11, 2014, 02:21:16 pm »

well i remember experiencing minor same-like issues when you did the exit/menu update months back. yep, did "Apply & Save" for each setting in the Main and Video

however i did recently get external memory the path is sdcard/Games/Gameboy

not sure whats causing the crashes back to the gmenu but it still happens

hi-ban · « **Reply #166 on:** November 11, 2014, 03:12:47 pm »

I haven't changed any code of the rom browser, so if it didn't happen before, there's no reason why it should happen now.
Try re-selecting the rom path and saving it again.

indeed it is the damnedest thing. was messing with it for a while today even transferring files back to internal memory and also re-installing everything, nothing improved. for some reason its not saving properly which ends up resulting in the menu crash. although an older build 'Ohboy_20140907' works fine

Has anyone else had an issue where under video settings if you select Hadware Fullscreen the games don't actually fill the screen? This is with the current version 11-10-2014. Software Fullscreen has the games fill the screen though, I've tested this with a few different Gameboy and Gameboy color games.

If you are running the latest firmware (8-20-2014), this is probably because the hardware scaler is now supported and has two different modes: Keep-Aspect-Ratio and Stretch-to-Screen: Press Power-Slider + A and it will switch between the two modes, as described under "Button Combinations" here in the quick-start guide: http://wiki.surkow.com/Quick_Start_Guide

Some programs/emulators give you the option of saving this selection as a setting, others make you press Power+A each the time video mode changes.

I figured that the issue is with the file lastselected.rc
On my system if contains of one byte

Code: [Select]

opendingux:/media/data/local/home/.ohboy # hexdump lastselected.rc
0000000 0035
0000001
opendingux:/media/data/local/home/.ohboy # cat lastselected.rc
5opendingux:/media/data/local/home/.ohboy #

The byte changes when I go up in dirs tree (the only way I can go =) )

If I remove it it's being creating again. If I replace it with a symlink to /dev/null everything works fine!

Nebuleon · « **Reply #174 on:** November 27, 2014, 03:12:13 am »

So OhBoy's last-file-saving code stores an integer corresponding to the number of the file among the directory's sorted file names. That's great $:-\$

Downloaded the newest version but it doesn't work. It keeps crashing every time I try to load a game.

Is there anywhere I can download the previous version that worked?

Did you update your GCW Zero to the latest firmware (2014-08-20)?

AskaLangly · « **Reply #177 on:** December 15, 2014, 12:08:36 am »

I felt like turning on the SELECT+START Menu access, but whenever I do this, the games recognize the keystrokes.
For example, after I save on Mario DX, you know how the cursor goes back to Continue, correct? (It goes Continue, Save, End. Saving was complete, so it become un-selectable.) I press Sel+St, and it ends the game (Select places the cursor at End, Start chooses the option). I dislike the use of the Power slider to operate the menu, and I saw in previous releases that it used to be L+R. Well, all I get for Alternate Menu Combo is said Sel+St and No. Please add L+R back!

Meganubis · « **Reply #178 on:** December 18, 2014, 12:36:36 am »

Ive been out of the loop for a while, but did GCW add rumble support?? If so any chance of adding it to Ohboy for pokemon rumble?

Yes the firmware is up to date with the 2014-08-20 release. And I've read that if you load the games from the internal memory instead of the SD card it will work correctly. Unfortunately, this did not work.
