Modded GBA Problem #7

Open Bizzy-Shz opened 2 months ago

Bizzy-Shz commented 2 months ago

The Games won't start on my GBA with IPS Mod. On the Original GBA SP and NDS Lite are no problems. Im using unmodified GBA Roms. The roms patcht with the SC Software doesn't work at all.

I tried patched Roms, unpatched Roms, unpatched Roms with patch sav sci, with pre patch and without.

The Hardware from SC and GBA is ok. Hope anything from this info helps your progress.

I switched back to the OFW with your OFW.frm and now my modded GBA can play the Games again.

Hope your next update helps, it's a great project

This might be related to the EWRAM overclock since it works on my clone(EXEQ Game Box). I'll be making a build later to test this out.

Edit: Okay, so no differences experienced with disabled/enabled overclock as the same scenario occurs on an AGB-001.

NOTE:

Some ROMs, oddly, do not function on vanilla AGB-001's. It doesn't matter if the AGB-001 is modded or not. Some ROMs don't function on it as I'm able to replicate this on my end.

I've observed better compatibility found on GBA SP models(incl. clones like the EXEQ Game Box SP) as well as the DS/DSL.
