No$GBA

[dlevere]

That's right, hell has frozen over. After a long time, a new update of No$GBA (the famous GBA/NDS emulator) has been released.

Too bad a donation is required to obtain it. I might donate one of these days when he adds more features or if he cleans up his change log since it's pretty vague.

There are so many fake No$GBA 2.7 downloads floating around the web... but they are either version 2.6a or they contain malware. If anyone does find a real version 2.7, let me know.

I thought you only played retro consoles.

Anyway, a small donation of possibly $1 could probably get you 2.7.

I've donated a few times recently but not sure I saved the url for the "paid" versions.

I just donated and received my copy a few minutes ago. I hope he updates the debugger version as well.

As for as emulation goes... I guess the GBA is the latest I go up to.

I play the following systems:

• Atari 2600
• Nintendo Entertainment System
• Super Nintendo
• Sega Genesis/Sega 32X
• TurboGrafx-16
• Arcade (MAME)

I dabble in the following systems:

• Sega CD
• TurboGrafx-CD
• Game Boy
• Game Boy Color
• Game Boy Advance
• Sega Master System

("Dabble" as in I'll play some of the classics for those systems... games that are what the system are known for. But I don't get deep into their libraries)

No download.... sad....

Anyway, I hope this version can fix SAVE STATES or SNAPSHOTS from random crashes! Plus, here the changelog!

- dos: fixed destroyed ebx register in memory handle resizing function
- dos: fixed missing nds_color_xlat re-initialization on dos video mode changes

- internal: uses new overlay engine for help.pak, xmit-nds.pak, pockclon.pak
- removed bg_gif feature (no$gmb relict that was probably never used in no$gba)

- a22i: recognizes thumb add/sub rx,ry as short-form for add/sub rx,rx,ry
- a22i: recognizes thumb labels starting with "b" (were treated as "b{cond}")
- a22i: accepts thumb ldr/str rd,[sp] with omitted zero-immediate offset
- pockstat: emulates sony pocketstation (uses arm cpu too, otherwise offtopic)
- debug: added new emu-detection and string/character-output (via port 4FFFAxxh)

- nds/wifi: emulates aid_low and aid_full masking, stats masking, stats auto_res

Cool, I may have to get it to check out the PocketStation support.

Look likes newest No$gba version 2.7 cannot combined with No$Zoomer anymore.....

[Demonic722]

Damn, it didn't take them too long before they leaked it.

[AsPika2219]

@dlevere, that 2 files give me virus, malware etc by Avira..... Better I ignore that and continue download it.....

Meanwhile, Avast was detected No$gba as... Win32:MilOb-ID[Cryp]... which is FALSE POSITIVE!!!

[OldSchoolGamer]

I've read so many people reporting they got a virus from a No$GBA 2.7 download. So I'm nervous to download those links. How do you know for sure it's a false positive?
