Emulator for GBA

Ah, Swordcraft Story. Yeah, those are pretty good. I like the first one better than the second game. Third one is good, but they never did finish a translation patch for it. The DS game sucks though, or at least I thought so. *shrugs*

*eyeroll*
I work all night with files like those, only natural it makes me facepalm at ignorance >.>

Regardless, does it work?

Fine. Anyway yea it works. Playing Golden Sun, download all those suggestions.

Good, have fun alright? Make it worth my 5 min search for the Tactical facepalm :) (crap internet, 50 reloads before it shows half the page)

Ill make it worth it alright. Any other recommendations? RPGs plz

Lufia: ruins of lore

Golden sun The lost age(ignore this if you already downloaded and don't play this if you haven't finished golden sun)

Breath of Fire

Lunar Legend

Final Fantasy IV

Final fantasy V

Final Fantasy VI

Ive beat the Golden Sun series buddy. Im replaying it to help me remember everything

FF6 is on GBA? Nice

Riviera and Yggdra Union.

you are a fucking idiot, this reminds me of all the idiots in my class who barely knows what extracting a file is, supposedly they have to play pokemon at school on their laptops, consequently they bug me with their stupidity 24/7, its FUCKING common sense, it has nothing to do with knowledge, its just common fucking sense..

If a person doesn't have any experience with the type of a file you can't expect them to know how to work with it. I was having problems with undisker at first too, but I learned as did Hokuto. Also not everybody has the same common sense, for instance when someone wearing a mask pops up right in front of your face, you may scream, but other people might punch the masked person.

P.S. Yaggdra union was awesome yet a little hard at the same time.

touhoumon (hack of pokemon fire red)
mother 3 (there's an english patch for that)
Final Fantasy tactics advance
Mario and luigi superstar saga
megaman battle network series
Lunar Legend
Breath of fire 2
tales of phantasia

This will certainly keep you enterained.

Which button is select on the keyboard?

By default right shift, but you can remap the controls to however you want. Just go to "options" on the emulator. Oh yeah keep in mind you can use pc controller as well.

For some reason when i press right shift it doesnt work o-o
and it has multiple things for options

Try changing it to backspace o-o
That's what I use it as, it's useful.

"options"
l_ "JoyPad"
l_ "Configure"
l_"1..."
There will be the settings for button mapping along with 3 extra buttons.
Speed, Capture, and GS Button.
Speed will boost the game's running speed till you let go of the button.
Capture will take a pic of your gameplay and the "GS
button" is the Gameshark Button. That button is essentially useless.

To save you trouble, if you have any questions regarding this or other game emulation feel free to ask me.

It was set on backspace lol not shift
Ill make sure I ask you if i have anymore questions

If you're still looking for an SNES emulator the best two at the moment are ZSNES and SNES9x. For me ZSNES is a bit more user friendly, but that may be just because I used it first.

As far as the best place to find ROMs, Emuparadise is my preferred site most of the time, although there's a few games I've had to go to CoolROM for.
Emuparadise is nice because unless you want to download the torrented versions of the ROMs and ISOs there's no need to sign up, and they have (almost) every GBA, GBC and SNES ROM, as well as ROMs and ISOs for many other systems, as well as some instruction manuals and professional strategy guides (Prima Games, Brady Games, etc.). Just make sure you have a good adblocker... if you're using Firefox "Adblock Plus" is recommended by everyone (or damn near at least).

Also, with VBA some games won't run, or at least won't run correctly, without a special .ini file, which can also be found on Emuparadise, among other places I'm sure. Just a couple games off the top of my head would be the various GBA Pokemon games, including the Mystery Dungeon one.

In terms of suggested games... well everyone else has suggested the best of the RPGs for the GBA already, except for Shining Soul 2, which similar to Diablo and other dungeon crawlers. VBA will also run games for the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color so if you don't mind 8-bit graphics there's a lot more worthwhile games. Azure Dreams for example is a Mystery Dungeon type game with monster training. Every time you enter the Tower you revert to level 1, while your monsters are able to retain their levels so you have to rely heavily on them to reach the top of the tower. And there's always the beginning to the Seiken Densetsu series: Final Fantasy Adventure, an action RPG for the Game Boy. I'm too tired to be able to describe it, so hopefully someone else here has played it and can explain it for you.

As far as the SNES goes I've listed a few games I've been enjoying these last couple of months in my Hidden Gems on the SNES thread, which was sadly ignored for the most part. More of you sons of bitches need to go back to the classic 8-bit and 16-bit games and see what real gameplay is like.

Other more popular SNES RPGs include:
Earthbound (The graphics can be imposing at first, but once you get past the beginning you'll see that they actually fit the game quite well. But I will, grudgingly, admit that even I had to try the game on three separate occasions before actually accepting the graphics for what they were, and I grew up playing these games.)

Final Fantasy IV (Which is my favorite of the Final Fantasy games, although you may wish to play the European version of the GBA remake, or the DS remake instead.) (Also, this was renamed Final Fantasy II for the US release of the SNES version.)

Final Fantasy VI (Renamed Final Fantasy III for the US release of the SNES version.)

Lufia & The Tower of Doom (Which I unfortunately have never been able to really get into.)

Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals

Secret of Mana (The second game of the Seiken Densetsu series, and quite possibly my favorite Action RPG for the SNES.)

Seiken Densetsu III (You'll need an English translation patch unless you can read Japanese, if you need help with the patch let us know.)

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (The predecessor to the GBA and DS Mario & Luigi RPGs.)

Tales of Phantasia (From what I've heard the SNES version is far superior to the GBA remake, although just like SD3 you'll need to find a translation patch if you can't read Japanese.)

Shin Megami Tensei II (A First-Person turn-based RPG with a unique [for the time] combat system in which each human character can equip a melee weapon and a gun as well as different types of ammunition, as well as various spells and the ability to talk to the demons in an attempt to: recruit them, make them run away, or extort items from them.

Terranigma (An Action RPG from a small developer named Quintet, it is the final game in a thematic trilogy. That is they have similar storylines but no actual, official, connection to each other. Regardless of all that, it's a great game and definitely worth a try. Another worthwhile note is that it was never released in the US, just grab the European version.)

If you're looking for more than RPGs leave a message, I have a much larger list for other SNES/GB(C)/GBA games haha.

This was a message from a lover of classic games, and to all you "hardcore gamers" that refuse to play games that aren't 3D and shiny, FUCK YOU. The same goes to those of you who think random battles in RPGs is "too hard" or "outdated". Grow a set. I'm not saying games like Earthbound where you can see all the monsters ahead of time are bad, but there's no reason to change the formula of a long running game series just because some people are going to fucking cry about the way that every game of the series has been since the series fucking started. I'm looking at you Square Enix and the way you changed Dragon Quest IX... it's almost enough to make me not want the game. I still wish that Squaresoft and Enix hadn't merged. (I forget which company bought the other... Square bought Enix right?)

Also, it works to your advantage to get a gamepad if you're going to get serious about emulating games. If you're interested in my opinion... get yourself an SNES controller, preferably an original Nintendo brand one and a Super Smartjoy or similar SNES to USB converter. It makes it feel so much more like you're playing an actual SNES, and if you get an original Nintendo brand SNES controller it will last you forever. I've had mine for sixteen years and still works perfectly. ZSNES, SNES9x and VBA all support them and it's unbelievably comfortable, Microsoft, Sony, Logitech and Nintendo (and all other companies that make game controllers) could all learn a lesson from it. Although if you're going to get into Dreamcast, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn, and PSX emulation you will need another gamepad with analog sticks and more buttons, but until then, an SNES controller is going to be heavenly.

Wow thats alot. Imma have to check it out

Thats a good site. But emuasylum is a bit better. It has the emulators and roms plus translated versions of japanese only games like star ocean. It has snes games of various animes.
