Unable to save certain games [VBA, 128k Flash needed]

[timbru31]

Hey,

I'm having issues to save games. E.g. a patched Pokémon version (Ultra Violet) tells me that "The 1M sub-circuit board is not installed"

If I try to save now a "Save Error" appears.

The original VBA had a toggle to increase the memory to 128k. I'm missing this option in OpenEmu... Option in VBA: Options > Emulator > Save Type

Is there any possibility to add this feature? Or at least a way I can mod the VBA Core with this setting?

Cheers

Sorry, can't add anything like this to the UI.

What you'd want to do is add an entry for this game to the core (assuming it has its own unique ID you can reference) like so https://github.com/OpenEmu/VisualBoyAdvance-Core/blob/master/vbanext/libsnes/libsnes.cpp#L251 and then recompile.

If others might find this via Google: Hex Editing the rom back to BPRE (Fire Red USA) from PUVV works, too.

I have same problem with timbru31, but I don't get it to fixed it. When I play Fire Red is okay, but I want to tried pokemon Advantures Red Chapter and I got same problem like timbru31. Can you help me to fix it? I'm using Openemu VBA too

@God1212 use e.g. Hex-Editor MX or HexEdit, open the file search for (text not hexadecimal) PUVV and replace it with BPRE, save the file & play :smile:

I am sorry man but still not working (probably something I do wrong though) If I send you the file do you think you could it ? I have tried all day, and now I am just pissed at my computer ;)

The game is in this link: [link removed]

Thanks man

@God1212 Please don't share links to ROM downloads.

@God1212 sorry, you have to figure it out yourself.

[God1212]

Yeah I guess I have

Thanks anyway
