Now back to your problems regarding Pokemon games on the GBA, I really wanted to point you in the direction of this here guide by yours truly...

http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=6326.msg58352#msg58352

..that I wrote up six years ago, unfortunately the most important link of all which is the one on the now defunct Mega Upload site that the great loonylion uploaded himself back then containing the GBA BIOS file no longer works. Heck even the pictures I had for this thread no longer works too. Damn you Friendster~!

At least the thread is still a good read because it also talks about a few GBA games that need special fixes

 

I still don't have a clue about how to fix the games i use. the folders arent empty anymore, but both games just give me a blank screen.. What am i supposed to do now, im not really getting all those technical terms.. Sorry for being dense/stupid.

 

OK:

Step 1. Get VBA-M here ---> http://vba-m.com/

You need to register an account on there to download the emulator but don't worry registration is free.

Step 2. Go on Google and do a Google search for GBA BIOS.

Step 3. Find the result that has the word "Paradise" in it (psst~! It's the first one on the very top usually) unless it's second or third on the list.

Step 4. Download the GBA BIOS file.

Once you have everything post a screenshot here of what you got and wait for further instructions.

 

Ok after a goodnights sleep from a bad day yesterday, i remember a few things about pokemon games. first of all, visualboy has a few minor issues with background in foggy/myst caves where you can not see the floor well unless you tweak the settings. this is only for ruby, sapphire, and emerald. no$gba doesnt have these issues so you can use that to play it. Also for red team, make sure your save type is set to 128k or it will NOT save.

Also i was testing out VBAM without gba.bios. it did play both games Without it just fine. If you having troubles with it. you might be required to update your DirectX and get the latest microsoft framework if you have windows. also windows 8.1 has issues with some emulators, well few people do and there are some forum topics that might help. all in all i hope get playing games soon.

*edit Also forgot to mention no$gba allows you to trade your 3rd gen pokemons between all 5 games. GOTTA CATCH THEM ALL.

 

Okay, I'm busy today, so I'll let you guys know if this worked
Post Merge: [time]1418236681[/time]

so you advice me to dowload directX? and maybe get another pokemon game?

 

Ok ill put in the following steps

If the program doesnt start, or when you load a game and get a white screen then
2. Go to microsoft website and download the latest copy of Directx(if you get whitescreen), and Framework(most applications need this to run programs)
Should after that it still fails to start, which it shouldnt, then you going to have to use google to search for help on the matter. according to vba site it should be windows 8.1 compatible, and for no normal reason why it wont start. BUT if so, you can either try
3.worldwideweb[dot]problemkaputt[dot]de or search google for "no$gba", or even search these forums for it. some post have a downloadable copy of it around here.

Now if the unlikely but possible event where you still cant get it to play.
4. go find the smartest nerd you know, drag him/her to your house, make them fix it for you, thank them, and enjoy play games from a distant era. This is the best option of them all, but the most haphazard one. cause if they cant fix it, NO ONE CAN.

 

4 would involve social skills XD
also, i updated Drive.. I'll get framework in a bit
Post Merge: [time]1418290015[/time]

Update! I cant find if framework is enabled on my pc and the game is still not working. I'm gonna look for no$gba
Post Merge: [time]1418312487[/time]

Framework is on and fully updated, but pokemon emerald is still not working. is it possible to keep VBA, or do i need no$gba instead?
Post Merge: [time]1418312617[/time]
Other games are running fine.
Post Merge: [time]1418327433[/time]
i tried every step in this topic (http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?topic=6326.0), AND ITS STILL NOT WORKING!

 

ok do me a favor so i know what the issue is. take a screenshot(via printscreen while running vba or no$gba) of three things ill show by example.

also make sure you click file cause if not the printscreen will only copy the no$gba screen for the 3rd pict
need to see what i am working with so to say.

 

GUYS!!! appearantly no$GBA can run my pokemon file! THANKS. Guess ill just use No$Gba for pokemon and VBA for the rest

 

glad to hear. best of luck catching all what was it 376 pokemons i think. also you can import 3rd gen pokemon to 4th gen games via desmume to keep up the collecting. but just a heads up, no$gba saves are different type than other emulators saves. to play it on VBA or import you will have to convert them. lucky there is a site that will do it for free. should you want to.

 

As far as I know no$gba uses .sav extension for saves and that's the most common extension for save files.

 

To get all Gen 3 pokemon easily without dealing with trading and the event only stuff, I suggest getting this fabulous hack:

http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1156/

Gameplay footage:

No$gba uses a compressed sav type unlike the traditional sav type. Its possible to use the more traditional sav that vba uses on no$gba, but to go from no$gba to vba or others requires converting. lucky the online converter at shunyweb is free and easy to use.

 

You love that website don't you?

 

I'm just gonna look for a cheat that fills my pokedex tho.

 

There isnt one, you have to manually catch them one by one....BUT there are cheats that let all random pokemon become target pokemon of your choice. Though if you do use it, it only works once and only one time. to bypass this, you can create several saves with pokemon you are looking for and then trade them via no$gba to your main file. FYI dont forget to make several backups just incase. also mew and deoxys cant be controlled if you catch them in the wild sorry to say.

 

Yeah right

Also fix your grammar DAMN IT~!

You've been here for so long (so you say) and you still fail to use proper capitalization and punctuation.

If moderasian (a.k.a. Born2killx) was still around, he'd have beaten you to a bloody pulp with his Grammar Nazi stick by now

There are such codes here:

Unfortunately these can corrupt your game save data, which is why it's still better to catch them all yourself. And as I said, this ROM Hack...

... let's you do just that. All you need to do is apply the patch onto a fresh copy of Pokemon Fire Red and you're done
