3DS bios detection #2814

Open FIFFY-Fede opened 1 year ago

FIFFY-Fede commented 1 year ago

I want to load my bios from a folder in mGBA on the new 3ds XL i'm using the latest release, when i select "choose GBA bios path" simply doesn't show anything in the folder where the bios is in. The bios i'm using is original and named "gba_bios.bin" tried even just "bios.bin" but nothing. The folder i'm using is the same of my gba roms, i tried change it or create one in the same folder where the confi.ini is located with zero results. Am i doing something wrong?

I'm on the same boat :(

EDIT

OK, just tried something. This seems to be broken for the nightly build, the stable release can find any bin file, regardless of the name, and the daily builds cannot find any bin, regardless of the name. I guess it is a bug.

EDIT 2

More info:

My device is a New 3DS XL, if it helps. The builds tried are stable 0.10.2 and nightly 2023-05-02-8096. On the stable release, .bin files are found. My files has the "bios" word in them and are all lowercase. On the other hand, on the nightly release no .bin files are found, even if the file is named "bios.bin" or "gba_bios.bin".

EDIT 3

More data, tried a Wii beta build and the same thing happens, so now I think something is broken in the nightlies in general.
