How To Use A BIOS File To Run Games

Somewhat disappointed by how VBA-M had been handling updates and attempts to fix the link I decided that I should try to revive the branch Sega Genesis (Megadrive) Bios and see if I could get it working well. Much to my surprise many of the issues that had plagued it previously just seemed to have resolved in the meantime, pointing to the issues being Dolphin-side and not mGBA-side. I’ll test on mine this weekend but wouldn’t have thought so.

• There’s thousands of games in the database, but not every game has known cheats for it.
• If you want to play GBA games on Android, you need to download the BIOS file, which has configurable controls and top-notch performance.

I have received quite the number of comments about emulating the Game Boy on modern hardware and all the work that is going into it. I learned so much about the extensive community around emulating Game Boy games and the technology, research and absolute passion that goes into it.

If you run into any bugs or compatibility issues, it’s recommended that you re-test with the original BIOS for now, until the open source one is tweaked further. Simply download GBA.BIOS, rename it boot.rom and save it in the GBA games folder you created. That’s it, nothing else; The core will see that file and automatically use it instead of the open source BIOS.

This allows you to boot the GBA from any other computer or console, even if there is no cartridge. GBA software can use maths, initialization, compression, and other functions.
