GBARunner2
GBARunner2 is a hypervisor that runs GBA games on DS/DSi/3DS in DS mode.
Usage Notes
- If you have a gba folder on the root of your sd, this folder will be opened by default
- Games generally don't need to be SRAM patched unless stated in the compatibility list (see below). If it is needed, you can use gbata.
- If you are using GBARunner2 with TWiLightMenu on a DSi or 3DS with the SD card, make sure you use the dldi on ARM7 build
- The settings are accessed by pressing R on the rom selection menu. Settings are saved when leaving the settings menu
GBARunner2 has the open source bios of Normmatt integrated, with some small modifications. A GBA bios is thus optional, but can be used to improve compatibility with some games. Always try with a valid GBA bios before reporting that something doesn't work! Compatibility testing should as such also be done with a bios. You can put the bios in one of the following places: /bios.bin, /gba/bios.bin or /_gba/bios.bin.
Bios checksums
A valid bios should have the following checksums:
- CRC32:
81977335 - MD5:
a860e8c0b6d573d191e4ec7db1b1e4f6 - SHA1:
300c20df6731a33952ded8c436f7f186d25d3492 - SHA256:
