Play Pokemon Damond and Pearl Roms!

[OmegaGroudon]

Other game like Digimon World DS and Jump Ultimate star, when I save it says no...cannot save at all!

[Shiny_Latios]

just make sure that if you have patched your rom to use the real firmware

just make sure that if you have patched your rom to use the real firmware

How? Using the same patch?

Can anyone help me? I've been using Diamond for almost a week and had no problems. Then today, I tried to play and an error message came up saying something along the lines of the .sav file being fatal. Anyone know what I can do to get that file working again?

[Guzv4]

I dont know if anyone said this but when i try to load my pokemon Diamond and Pearl in english and japanise i ogt a black screen and the game freezes. Please help....

[legolasidkarlo]

i'm still having problems with the drained hp problem i always freeze that's why i'm stuck on the choosing part of pokemon diamond wher ei have to choose one pokemon out of 3 pokeballs haha because everytime i kill starly the game freezes

[jobsta]

its because you need to switch the sound settings to the middle one then back

[Pachel]

why does the game slowly chrashes by bebe's box

when you go to deposit it freeze's and by move pokemon it slowly freezes

[Krobelus]

Hmmm... I don't know about you guys, but it works for me. Just super slow.

Inside-30-45%
Outside-15-25% (ugh)

So, that's my only problem, I think I'll wait until I get a real copy, or for the next update on No$GBA.

[legolasidkarlo]

thank you for some help i am able to solved my problems

when i turned off the sounds the game freezes after i drained a pokemon's hp... problem solved ^_^

[Pkmn_knight]

for battles to end you need music on or it freezes

[peirau]

Hey guys,
http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/9392/gbabv2.pngChange youre emulation options into this,and it wil be fast if you play Pokemon Ranger on no$GBA it wil be very fast with this emulation options.
Pearl:about 60%.
Diamond:I think same as Pearl.
Ranger:70% or 65% and sometimes 75%.

[Shiv]

okay, use Unlimited Disaster at 10%. NDS Cart backup media should be FLASH 256kb.

Now if you really want it to be superfast but are ready to lose sound quality then do the following:-

Sound Output Mode to Digital Mono.
Sound Desired Sample Rate to Low.
Multiboot Normal/Burst Delays to Fast/Fast.

Enjoy! It works at like 1000% for me in places reaching a minimum of like 70%.

[YourNobody]

This (see post for URL) should explain, Nintendo finds nothing wrong with having a second copy via a rom if the one you own crashes.

I had a problem occur, on the way to Celestic, the screen became blank, I was wondering if anyone else had this trouble?
You are half-right. You must not have read the whole thing, but I'll post it here for you.

There is a good deal of misinformation on the Internet regarding the backup/archival copy exception. It is not a "second copy" rule and is often mistakenly cited for the proposition that if you have one lawful copy of a copyrighted work, you are entitled to have a second copy of the copyrighted work even if that second copy is an infringing copy. The backup/archival copy exception is a very narrow limitation relating to a copy being made by the rightful owner of an authentic game to ensure he or she has one in the event of damage or destruction of the authentic. Therefore, whether you have an authentic game or not, or whether you have possession of a Nintendo ROM for a limited amount of time, i.e. 24 hours, it is illegal to download and play a Nintendo ROM from the Internet.

So, yes, you can replace a damaged game with a ROM; however, I'm guessing 99% of the ROM downloaders do not get them for that reason. Your argument is true, but flawed once logic is introduced. Nice try. Also, I think if you have a rebuttal, this should be split off into another topic, or we need to continue it in PM. It's become it's own separate topic inside this one. It might be a bit distracting.

[rocky_lifter]

Does anyone know if there's anyway to recover my save file when it says it is "fatal"?

[YourNobody]

Anytime something says "fatal" in generally means beyond hope. Just start a new game. The emulation isn't perfect at this point, so some errors are bound to happen. That's just how it is.

Anyway, I can't get passed the first fight. It just freezes after I beat the bird Pokémon. Anyone know what's wrong?

Note: I would post an image, but I don't have 15 posts. People should know what I'm talking about, though.

Edit: Nevermind. I found out it was because I didn't have sound on.

[Piplup]

something wierd happens when i go to deposite a pokemon in athe box, the game freezes someone please help

[Prodigy]

Q: When I try to deposit, the game freezes.
A: It seems that when you have an important number of pokemons, you won't be able to access your PC anymore, so catch only what you need and really want.

I finally know how it works and my rom runs perfectly, but how do I load my game, cause when I save and quit the game and later choose continue, it stays at a black screen, now I tried to save state, but whenever I load the state, the rom crashes... So my saved games can never be loaded. :(

Well before you save you need to apply this IPS patch to the rom: http://www.sor-gts.de/files/lgc-pkmd.ips

[Piplup]

I found te solution to the "deposit prob" just use move pokemon to move ure pkmn to different boxes and use withdraw pkmn to release the unneaded 1s

[~Daisuke~]

Did I do somethin wrong cause I tried saving but I can't load it back.I used that patch Blazichu what happened?

Set your NDS backup to FLASH 512K.

Unless someone said something already how do you get the game up to speed on the oustide areas?And also can someone help me find some cheats for it on the emulator.

[fallinroxas]

Does this method work with all ds roms?

[Amarillo Del Bosque Verde]

Does this method work with all ds roms?

It worked for me, only problem is even though i changed the save type some DS games stil cant find the save game stuff and ask you to turn it off...and i wanted to play new super mario bros bad too...:disappoin

[cynthia]

Unless someone said something already how do you get the game up to speed on the oustide areas?And also can someone help me find some cheats for it on the emulator.

I'm pretty sure the 'cheats' part of No$GBA doesn't work yet...however: it takes some fooling around with to get it right but yes, you can cheat. You need to find the Freeware - No$GBA > VBA Battery Converter and Pokemon Save Editor (English version I'm guessin). Paste this link into your URL address and it gives you a step-by-step process. Happy hacking! The bolded parts you'll have to replace with http/ and com

-link removed-

[Shiny_Latios]

nice guide really works thanks

[Semele]

cynthia, linking to other forums is against the rules. You could just quote that post here.

Okay, I figured this out.

1. Go to your NO$GBA BATTERY folder and copy your save file somewhere else in order to back it up in case you mess up.

2. Open NO$GBA.ini in notepad, scroll down to the line:
SAV/SNA File Format == Compressed
and change it to:
SAV/SNA File Format == Uncompressed

3. Open No$GBA (make sure your save type in NO$GBA is FLASH 512 kbytes) and continue your game. Save the game, and then quit NO$GBA. Check the size of your save file in the BATTERY folder. It should be over 500kb.

3. Use the follow program to convert your save file, it will remove the first 76 bytes of your save:
Freeware - No$GBA > VBA Battery Converter (http://www.angelfire.com/games6/battery/) | KermEd@Gmail.com
To use it, click the "Configure" button and set the directory to where your new big save file is. In the empty text box named "New .sav File" enter a name for the new file you will make. Now select your Pokemon save and press convert file. It will create a new save file with the name you typed in.

4. Download the Pokemon save editor:
RapidShare: 1-Click Webhosting (http://rapidshare.com/files/27882633/pokesav_038b_english_translation_0.3.exe.html)
Open your new converted save file (the one you made in step 3) with it, and when you are done cheating your ass off, click save. Now take the new save file you just cheated with, and put it in your NO$GBA save folder. Now name it the same name of your original pokemon save, so that NO$GBA will load it when you play the game. That's all. Now I shall enjoy my 99 of every TM, and I had a sex change just for the hell of it.

Lastly, once you use your hacked save in NO$GBA and save, you will not be able to hack it again right away. Once you have used your hacked save in NO$GBA and saved, you must use the NO$GBA>VBA converter, then hack.

[jonicito]

I got a new cpu chip (2000+), inside was 100-90 and outside is 100-60. The old chip (800mhz), inside is 60-40 and outside is 30-10. the lake next to route 201 is so slow.

[Shiny_Latios]

i am gettng 100% outsideow a it slower with events and with dialga the bit i thought wuldn;t show did but omething else didn't

[Red]

This is pretty cool. With a partially working emulator, we can at least see how the game is working. I wonder if it can be hacked now... Because previously we couldn't hack it because we wouldn't be able to see what was changing, so there was no point, but now we can see.

[zspot9]

so i have everything working pretty well, but everytime i KO a pokemon, it freezes. and the "turn the sound on" thing doesn't work.

i turn the setting on, but it remains frozen. do you have to actually be able to hear the sound, because the sound on my computer has not worked in months. could that be the problem?

[Shiny_Latios]

it might need your soundcard to be working

I doubt the you actually have to here the sound (because I always mute the volume on my speaker when I play) are you sure all of the settings are the same as on the first post.

[Pkmn_knight]

you have to have sound on before it kos and same for every battle

Hey I've searched around everywhere trying to solve this problem but to no avail and I was hoping someone round here could help me out like I'm sure one or two of you have in the past. When I go to the pc I can't deposit my pokemon. I know that the problem is that I have too many pokemon in my box so I followed advice on another website and tried to withdraw/move pokemon but unfortunately the screen still freezed. I really don't know what to do and I don't want to have to start again.
Thanks In advance,
~Davie~

[Shiny_Latios]

I move my pokemon and it seems fine for me so sorry unless someone has had the same problem i cannot help

[jonicito]

I think I found a problem, the player is a little slower than in the nds. The player walk up like 0.85 sec and the player in the nds walk up like 0.25 sec. My computer is not slow. it's AMD athlon 2000+ 1.67 Ghz, 512 of ram. I hope the next verson has normal walk speed.

[Shiny_Latios]

we all know this but it is a problem with the emulator so wehave to live with it

[Swimmer♂]

Has anyone managed to get the wi-fi working for D/P yet? This would be a really awesome acheivement. I can access wi-fi, but it says there are no access points? I don't have a clue.....

EDIT i know this question has been asked before, but there was no real answer, is there any way to stop the game freezing when you access the PC?

[Ninja Monkey]

That's not even close to be considered a fast computer, it's pretty slow by today's standards.

Hey, I had the exact same problem. There really is no way to fix it entirely, the best thing you can do is fill up the box that has too many pokemon in it, so that when you catch a pokemon it automatically goes to the next box; then you can access the new box and it won't freeze, and you'll be able to move your pokemon; however you won't be able to access the old box. I hope you didn't put anything important in that box. I deposited my trained Buizel and never got it back :(.

[Django0]

i can't battle pokemon when i defeat them the game crashes the i need to change a setting and its running again is there a fix for it cause i dont wanne change settings each time i battle

[Shiny_Latios]

as has been answered many times before use sound to save crashign in battles it has been posted many times before so next time look around a bit and search the thread

[prophet789]

Has anybody tried this with the new releases of the other two DS emulators. It is up for downloads on emulator-zone.
I wish i could download it but it doesn't work at all on my computer?

my emu is annoying me, its sooooooo slow lol

[Shiny_Latios]

I have tried ideas and it is slow and buggy the sound sucks at least on NO$GBA it sounds reasonable and when you are in your house there is only the floor and a warp for the stairs and no saving

[Swimmer♂]

Hmmmm....any advancements with no$gba wifi yet? I punched in my IP, subnet mask and whatever other computer crazy stuff it asked for, but it still says there is no access point! One of my friends at school said his brother managed to get the wifi working for no$gba, just wondering if anyone else had managed this yet?

ALSO

What about the cheats for no$gba? I put an action replay code in the cheat box, ticked action replay v3 (left raw unchecked) and clicked ok, i then selected my cheat and clicked ok. I followed the instructions for the cheat from the cheat thread, but nothing happened. Have i done something wrong, or has no$gba got a different cheat system?

[Shiny_Latios]

for the cheats look a page back i think to wat christos quoted a link from cynthia

[Swimmer♂]

@Shiny_latios, thanks for the help, i already know how to hack my save file, i was just wondering if no$gba had working cheat devices...

ALSO

Sorry if its been asked before, but i really didn't know what to search for.... Is it possible to emulate a gba and a ds game at the same time on No$gba? I really want to use the pal park, but have no idea if its possible....

[Tetsu]

This may not belong here, and if it doesn't please move it. I don't intend any infractions.

Anyway, I read at DGEmu that if you have a certain number of pokemon, and try to access your PC, the game will freeze. Unfortunatly, it doesn't list what the actual number is. If anyone knows could they tell me? I've just started emulating Pearl on No$GBA and want an idea of when I should stop catching.

To read it for yourself, go here:
-forum link removed-
Go down to the FAQs. It's around there in the first post.

[jonicito]

I have a big problem, I got a patched dp rom, and copy it to the cd and give to my best friend, Stephen on his computer and when he loads a games it says the same error even giving patched rom to him. and he can't patched it his self because he has no internet. is because mines and stephen firmware is different? Oh yea, DP roms work in ideas to. His sys is pentium 4 cpu 2,66 ghz 512 of ram. and in underground I caught a fire on me and I can't get out.

[poopoo]

Whenever I open no$gba, the screen turns white and says "(Not Responding)" in the bar at the top. This is strange, because my Emulator worked nearly perfectly before. Anyone experience this?

I think I posted earlier in this thread about this. I don't know the exact number, but I'm almost positive you don't have to stop catching. What you do is, once you get a few Pokemon in a box (I'd stop before you get halfway full because you never know, but it would be interesting to test...) use the 'Move' option to distribute them evenly throughout other boxes. What I found is that you can have a ton of Pokemon as long as there aren't too many per box. I beat my game so I won't be testing the limitations on this soon, but I hope that helped.

I believe Pal Park does not work yet, you could just open up two No$Gba emulators and try that.

Make sure your Firmwire is 256KB; in Ideas no sprites are shown and houses don't appear.

Whenever I open no$gba, the screen turns white and says "(Not Responding)" in the bar at the top. This is strange, because my Emulator worked nearly perfectly before. Anyone experience this?

Make sure you have all you files right and make sure your NDS emulator backup data is set to Flash 512K and have a decent speed. Also if this continues move your No$Gba files to a different folder.

[jonicito]

Make sure your Firmwire is 256KB; in Ideas no sprites are shown and houses don't appear.

My firmware is 256 kbs but stephen is 2 kbs. The next visit we have, I'll put an english firmware with 256 kbs. His computer is korean. In ideas, the sound don't sound right than No$gba. I know that the texture has bad graphics in ideas.

[Beertje111]

Ok, my pearl rom works fine. Its 90-100% outside and 100%-200% inside but when I beat the 2 commanders before Palkia the game slows down to 50% and I left my computer on for 4 hours and still Palkia just stands there in the middle of the screen.
Does it takes that long for everyone else, 'cause some say they beat the game already.

Try clicking "A" at some parts, I think it talks to you(somehow :P).

[Beertje111]

No, didn't work.
after you beat the commanders the camera turns to palkia but you don't run at him. It's just a scene I think but it takes a very long time.

[BlackDragonite]

Hey, what Firmware?
I seached in google, but it says "this firmware and that firmware", but not a file like DSfirmware or smth...

[Django0]

how can i make it faster outside is around 50-60% inside 200-300% and thats without sound with sound inside 90-100% outside 20-30% and i already did that unlimetid diaster 10%

[YourNobody]

Hey, what Firmware?

Don't even ask. It's against the rules, so no one will answer. It's illegal, so don't ask. We can't even clarify what to search for. Figure it out, best I can say.

how can i make it faster outside is around 50-60% inside 200-300% and thats without sound with sound inside 90-100% outside 20-30% and i already did that unlimetid diaster 10%
You can't. The current version of No$gba isn't very fast or stable. Wait for the next version.

[UnitRico]

I have some things about this emulator.
If some of you still play D/P on this emulator in Japanese and dont understand it, I got an english version (patched ONLY to save) for 3 weeks and i got 8 badges and training for the Pokémon League. Here's my team:
Pengu-lvl 52 Empoleon
Hatcrow-lvl 53 Honchkrow
Firerunner-lvl 52 Rapidash
Luxor-lvl 53 Luxray
Luc-lvl 52 Lucario
Hippomud-lvl 52 Hippowdon

And I also got a problem with the AR codes. The codes I found on the thread on the D/P forum dont work with me. I posted there and they said i had to ask it here. So does some1 know how I can make them work?

AR codes don't work for DS emulators yet, read a few pages back on how to hack your save state, it is probably better than AR codes.

Ok, i'll check that out Blazichu, ty for the info, but when i click on cheats, you can put in cheats, so why won't they work?

[jonicito]

My diamond is unplayable because my cpu chip broke and now I have AMD duron(tm) 800mhz (slow computer) and still 512 of ram. For Stephen is playable, His speed is still 2,66 ghz and still 512 of ram. The next 2 weeks, I'm having 3000+ but way faster.

Mine's working too slow, any ideas?

[Inu]

Pretty interesting.
4th gen hackers, great XD

[Ninja Monkey]

Mine's working too slow, any ideas?
Well like it has been said so many times already, wait for the next version of no$gba.

[AJUST]

My game runs faster with the 'unlimited mhz disaster 50%' setting than 10% or 100%. Maybe my pc can't handle the 10% setting. No$ says 60% but in most buildings, it feels very close to 100. Feels alot faster outside too. With this speed the game is playable, except for the fact i cant save. :P

Are the bios and/or firmware even necessary? I only have no$ and it runs well. except for the saving.

[jonicito]

The new 2.4b has problems, when you select load game, the screen is black. Now pkmd is unplayable. I'll download 2.4a from somewhere.

[Blazichu]

Yes, I also had that problem, might have to wait for another future version or continue playing the 2.4a.

[thoplosion]

The new 2.4b has problems, when you select load game, the screen is black. Now pkmd is unplayable. I'll download 2.4a from somewhere.


Yes it is still playable, it is because the new version don't require patched roms, so you can save and load just of your original rom

Just download the rom again unrar it with the same name as you're patched version and you van load your game

[Team Poison]

Yes I finally found a working version of NO$GBA to play Pearl & Diamond but one thing that needs sorting is the outside going at a low FPS coz it is like slow but one thing is a can load the saves!

[BlackDragonite]

I love Diamond (but it´s not as good as red and blue)
Just one question: Do I have to go and check out every house to get everything I need (like HMs and such)?
Because I really don´t want to do that, cause it´s soooooo slow.

[Team Poison]

Well if you want to complete the game you'll have to search all houses because as I say if you don't ask you don't get!

[jonicito]

I used Ideas 1.0.1.6 and play diamond and you see your spites but the graphics has bad background. I got pkmn diamond without a patch even a endrypts patch. The save game work including load.

[athrun5]

i found a much faster ds emulator e.x if u have 256ram it will go about normal speed and if u got 2gb u will run as fast as if u are holding down the speed bot ten down on a vba if u want it email me at anthony_go1@hotmail.com it also comes with a rom so thats y i cant say it her and u will have to start over

[Shiny_Latios]

Does create a new zip folder with the emulator then it will be fine

[Marc12]

Ok. I've been readin all 14 pages tryin to see if I can get No$GBA to go any faster haha. I have a 2.8 Ghz Processor, 2GB of ram, and a 256MB GeForce graphics card.. and the emulator still lags quite a bit. So I'm guessin that you have to have one hell of a computer to run this at normal playable speed at this stage of emulation?

[jonicito]

My computer is good as new now. Inside is alaways 100 and outside is 80-100 but mostly 100. my system is AMD athlon 64 3000+ 1.80, 512 of ram, and a All-in-wonder 32mb of video ram. the first lake is the slowest mines was 40-80.

[BlackDragonite]

Yo, I´m in Eternal City now (haven´t got the 2nd Badge)
but everytime I battle a Pokémon and I´m near to victory (last attack), let´s say I use Pursuit, it says --- used Pursuit, and then it freezes.HELP!!! please...

[Kyaru-san]

okay okay
the real question on everyone mind is does any1 knows how to make the game faster
The save I will look @ Blazichu to see if it work
other than I will wait for the new version of no$gba.

I got a new ideas for any of the numbers, 1 and 5 are the fastest.

1. You need a fast cpu and a lot of memory.
2. Wait for the next verson for a better speed.
3. Using a bike or unlimted disater 10% (if you has fast computer) helps since the player walks slow.
4. Scan your pc if there any of the virus.
5. If you have a bad video card, get a good video card if you want.

[UnitRico]

Yo, I´m in Eternal City now (haven´t got the 2nd Badge)
but everytime I battle a Pokémon and I´m near to victory (last attack), let´s say I use Pursuit, it says --- used Pursuit, and then it freezes.HELP!!! please...

I first had that problem too, here's the solution:
Turn on the emulators sound! Cos if it doesnt hear the pokemons cry when it faints, it wont continue until he hears it!

[BlackDragonite]

Thanks, it works again^^
But another question: Is it possible to link over the internet? (Wi-Fi-Connection)
I want to battle other people, is it possible or not?

[Cyrusman]

Wi fi would be realy good... imagine.. mmm pc gamers vs ds kids

[YourNobody]

Okay, for those saying that if you have a fast computer, that's enough, you're wrong. My computer is too fast. It's so fast that it makes the emulator slow. In other words, the emulator can't keep up with my computer's speed or something.

...My friend explained it to me, but I don't really get it myself.

Specs:
Windows XP Media Center Edition, SP 2
Intel Core2 CPU 6300 @ 2GHz; 2GHz, 2GHz of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS, 256 MB

[SDODC13]

For some reason my emulator will not regester touch screen T_T Can anyone help?

[Kioshi]

For all who had/has problems with saving the game here is a tip:
NO$GBA
Go to Options/Emulation and set the NDS Cartridge Backup Media to Flash 256KBytes than you can save and reload. But remember: You have to save this options!!!

[Medieval]

You can't load the save 'cause it is the PURE file. You must have the PATCHED file to load save games.

I have them, but I will not tell you where I got them... ;)

[Kioshi]

That's not wright! I have the .nds file and startet to play. After a few hours I have saved it normally. I know about that what i am writing okay! And my way is true.

[Shiny_Latios]

The new 2.4b has problems, when you select load game, the screen is black. Now pkmd is unplayable. I'll download 2.4a from somewhere.
You don't need the patched rom anymore to save we almost have Wi-fi with 2.4b i tried it and both the DS and emulator see have full signal but they can't recognise each other

[bobpickle]

Diamond and Pearl are playable for me and I am enjoying it very much thanks to all the helpful members here :)

Has anyone figured out how to modify wild pokemon in the game. I know of the save edit way but id really like to change wild pokemon battles does anyone know how to do that?

[Kioshi]

Can anybody post me or PM me a D/P Savegame which is fully completed? (I mean you got through the Pokéleague not all Pokés!)

[Glistle]

while using the no$gba 2.4b does it still go slow and choppy while using the lowest settings?

[Fellest Revolution]

I have a feeling that I know the answer to this, but I'm going to ask anyway:

Wi-fi's over the internet, right? If it is, can you still trade Pokemon with a computer version of the two games, or is it restricted to the proper, Nintendo DS only?

[nrox653]

Wi-fi's over the internet, right? If it is, can you still trade Pokemon with a computer version of the two games, or is it restricted to the proper, Nintendo DS only?

Well, no, since it's designed to run on the DS, it has to detect a component in the DS and use it. Since this is an emulator, it just doesn't have that certain component, and so Wi-Fi Connection in-game cannot be used. I'm hoping someone can develop a plugin or something so you're able to use your internet connection to connect, but until then, you need to use a flash card and play it on your real DS.

[Fellest Revolution]

I was affraid of that... Thanks anyway.

[ioncehadabrain]

Okay, I've looked everywhere and have seen everyones problems except for mine. XD So apparently I'm the only one with the computer restarting deal. I get to play alittle bit, usually to where you first meet the professor by the lake then whole computer restarts. At first I thought it was just the computer so I tried another one and it still does it. Oh and I've replaced everything thinking it was a bad emulator or rom and such. Still does it... :S I've tried both P/D and same thing, but Blue Rescue Team works, and Pokemon Ranger works perfectly. Just not these. I thought it had something to do with the bios but not sure how all that works. :/ So if anyones has any ideas I'm pretty much desperate now, so I'd be much appreciated. Thanks

[M.I.A]

its way to hard to get a working pearl or diamond game,many are fakes just to get some viruses or piss you off.

[ioncehadabrain]

Ya it seems that way. The screen before it restarts says; the program/hardware you were running was not installed properly or something like that. Its the whole blue screen deal, I have a feeling its just my Windows XP. -_- It hates me so very much.

[ioncehadabrain]

But its only just P/D is the crazy thing about it. The emulator runs every other rom perfect. It's ofcourse the two I was looking forward to trying out. XD (Sorry forgot this)

[woody_ardman]

ive got pokemon dimond working on my DS emulator but it always crashes at the bit were your pick your pokemon and beat that bird.... ive tried the english and japanese version and there both the same.... any suggestions?

[от_Ian]

oi, I'm thinking with the proper amount of effort they could probably overcome the wireless internet drawback easily. I mean if they could figure out how to play Goldeneye N64 over the internet with other people, then I'm thinking a patch like this is just going to take time.

[Neo-Dragon]

Could someone please post a complete save file please?

[Shinji_]

Can someone tell me why that when I open the emulator with the rom my emulator always freezes <_< it used to work before although it was extremely slow but now im thinking of not caring about the slow and now it just freezes help =x

[poopoo]

Where do you put .SAV files?

[Decadence]

Your're all gonna think I'm uber-retarded, or something, but I've got the emulator working all nicely (and slowly) and I decided to have a look at my Trainer Card. But now I can't work out how to close it, and I don't know whether it's cos I'm poking the wrong buttons, or if it's just my rom being a pain in the butt. Anyone know which button should close it?

[PKMN Nick]

I've downloaded the No$gba Emulator 2.4a and a Diamond ROM, but it says, The Data Cannot Be Read. Please turn off and reinsert the DS Game Cartridge.

I'm sorry to cause any problems, and make you guys angry but could you help?

[poopoo]

When you give the Secretpotion to the group of psyducks and head north a bit the game freezes. Anyone gotten past this?

[Corona]

Does the Nintendo DS Emulator work with Wifi and will D/P's pal park work? and if so how?

[Blazichu]

When you give the Secretpotion to the group of psyducks and head north a bit the game freezes. Anyone gotten past this?

The game doesn't freeze it goes blank because of the fog graphics errors so use Defog to get rid of the blank screen...

[King Boo]

I might add that the D/P Emulation is far from flawless yet, which results in missing graphics and very slow emulation of the actual games.

http://i15.tinypic.com/4fwphm1.pnghttp://i16.tinypic.com/2ptng3k.png
http://i16.tinypic.com/303ek2q.pnghttp://i18.tinypic.com/3yc9kib.png

And before anyone asks, eNDryptS, the DS Bios/Firmware, and of course the D/P ROMs are illegal, which is why you will not get a link to them here.
If you ask for either of them, you will receive an instant Warning.

I have download both on No$Gba Emulator!
But it is REALY SLOW!
My oppion is that untill a faster or under emulator has come out, no will pass diamound or pearl on roms anytime soon!

[poopoo]

The game doesn't freeze it goes blank because of the fog graphics errors so use Defog to get rid of the blank screen...

Ahh I didn't even think of that. Thanks.

[moody_cow_]

I would just like to say that there's another DS emulator (other than no$GBA or whatever it was called) that works too. It's called iDeaS and you don't have to do any crazy stuff for it like you do the other one. Just download the application and ROMs and open the ROMs using the emulator and it works fine. It's still pretty slow but simpler if you ask me. I'm not sure about saving using the emulator though. But anyways, I'm just letting you know about this option as it's what I did since I could get the other emulator to play the ROMs properly.

Toodles!

I might check it ou.

I don't no know how to save on the No$gba emulators?
Anyone know?

[PKMN Nick]

I don't no know how to save on the No$gba emulators?
Anyone know?

Open the menu and click save. That's how I save on mine.

Question, why when I get into battles it freezes up? Is there a solution? Also, is there a program to download to make it run faster?

[King Boo]

Thankz.

Nahh currnetly the Emulater is very laggy and is slow on everuy bodys computer there is no porgram to make it faster.

[pokeplayer]

i got really fast 900% no stuff ups yay and i didnt update just download and go

I don't believe the iDeaS loads the graphics correctly, when I played it sprites and tiles didn't load correctly and the DeSmume doesn't load the rom yet.

NOTE! To ones that lag!
People who have a No$Gba and it goes really slow...Make sure you have the settings right, if that is not the problem then it is the RAM speed on your computer that is, if you have slow RAM then you will have a slow emulator. Just wait for future versions of the No$Gba.

[King Boo]

I guess we have to keep ohn witing then.

[moody_cow_]

I don't believe the iDeaS loads the graphics correctly, when I played it sprites and tiles didn't load correctly and the DeSmume doesn't load the rom yet.

Really?? That's weird, I haven't had any problems with it at all. Only that battery saves don't work, but save states work and that's just as good. I haven't had any problems with the graphics or sprites or anything, just that it's pretty slow, 'course I'm using a slow computer in the first place so that could be it. But anyways, the graphics on sprites might be messing up on mine too, I just haven't noticed because I'm so excited so be playing the game! Lol! =D

[King Boo]

Basicly the only problesmm are its Laggyness,slowness and sve porblems.

[bxela1]

Unfortunately for most people, most DS games lag around the main parts of the game.

Pokemon Diamond - in towns
Advance wars dual strike - the battles
Trauma center - the operations

Just to name a few i've tried.

Just gonna have to wait for the next update. It's version 5 I think.

Until then I might just buy some of these...

BTW: I was regarding to NO$GBA. Not IDeaS.

[wabsta]

I think one of the only roms that is fun to play, and works on NO$GBA is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue team.
It works perfect :D

[King Boo]

Sweet.
Where can you download it?

[bxela1]

Sweet.
Where can you download it?

I don't think you're aloud to post for links to illegal (unless you own the game) material.

[Rageman]

I found a VERY fast alternative. It runs 80-100% outside and requires no bios or firmware.

[PKMN Nick]

Nah, Harvest Moon DS Can go really fast. I just wish I knew how to save it, cause I got really far.

[Rageman]

What's the name of the Emulator. Don't post a link to it, just the name please.

It's No$GBA with:
16.78 RealTime Auto OR Unlimited MHz- Disaster 100%
Start Cartridge Directly
24 Bit Colour
VGA (Poppy Bright)
Eeprom 8k bytes
Eeprom 60k bytes
Bright Sunlight
Digital Mono (Fast) OR None (fastest)
Low (10k hz)(fastest)
None/Disabled
Fast/Fast (best)
1
Master Only
None

You still can't save, but it is faster.

[bxela1]

On my real copy of diamond, at that part, the 3 recently released pokemon (uxie and the others) form a trio and the time warp stops, so maybe the emulator can't handle it.

[Smarties-chan]

The emulator can handle it, I've played through the whole game on No$Gba and it has worked fine. The screen does go black for quite a while in the scene on Mt.Coronet, though.

[MouseSlasher]

But when i tried it said the the rom-imaged has crashed.. and i need BiosNds 7 & 9 where do i get that :\

[Smarties-chan]

Just Google Biosnds. Asking for illegal files is against the rules here.

Srry i didn't know :( Plzz forgive me i am new

[bxela1]

Just found out that Final Fantasy 3 runs really well on NO$GBA. Only the short movies and the after battle celebration run slow.

I really recommend it :)

[alx_masher]

Guys, I have Pokeon Diamond ROM. I patched it using an IPS file I downloaded in the net. When I have played it, The game works fine(although speed is really low) and it saves. However, when I have chosen my starter and beaten Starly(the first battle) the game froze up but the emulator is still working. How come? Is the IPS file the problem?

BTW: I am using NO$GBA 2.4a freeware version but I have firmware and BIOS.

Thanks!
-alx_masher

[English_King]

Okay! I actually managed to play a bit of this. I had to stop playing because when you go outside your house, it just gets way too slow!

I can't wait for the next version of NO$GBA. Maybe there will be some progress with the speed.

Put the emulator settings as what the other guy said. It is actually really fast for an emulator. trust me its goodd!!!

Just to make sure, do you have sound enabled? I've heard the game freezes after battle if you don't have sound enabled. I have no idea whether or not it's true, though, as I've always played with sound.

[Rageman]

Yes. Sound has to be on during battles.
Anyways, I'm the best.
I've got 100-120% OUTSIDE now, and 100-120% Indside. :-D

Mine runs fast because I have a new computer, but anyway.

Is it possible to do Wifi stuff on the emulator?

[Hazman]

hey im new here, i was playin my pokemon pearl rom on the no$gba, im at the point were i have to go mt coronet near the end of the game, and everytime i try to go onto the ingame computer and switch my pokemon it freezes, and i cant change any of my pokemon, what can i do about that?

[alx_masher]

@Smarties-kun:
After almost a week of experimenting and playing with the nocash options, I traced the problem. I haven't replied early beacause i had to go to school. I found out that sounds must be on when playing juz like you said. Thanks!

I also found a way to increase the speed of the ROM but just a lil bit. Increase the resolution size of your computer to the highest (i think its increase since you are increasing the size of the graphics). Emulation will increase by 10%-20%. in my computer (which is slow) i had a 50%-90% emulation outside. Hope i helped.

@Rageman:
How did you emulate the game at 100%?

[exedissolve]

@everyone with a slow emulator.

look you can change all the options you want but the big thing that makes it so slow is your computer. on my old pc, it ran at bout 70%-90%. if i was lucky. even worse when i put Vista on.(NO VISTA) now that i upgraded, it run at bout 300%-350%. still NO VISTA.

[boon]

Erm... sombody here want D/P in English?

[SkullsY]

Thanks, gonna try this and see how smooth I can run it. Nice find.

[alx_masher]

i hav another problem guys, i am currently en route to celestic town and i need a pokemon that defogs. i want to withdraw my zubat but i hav 6 pokemon already. i went to a pc in solaceon town and when i chose deposit, the screen turns black and it freezes but the sounds still play. i tried it on every city but it still freezes. how come?

tnx

[Team Poison]

I've just downloaded the UK Pal version of Pokémon Pearl and I have noticed it is a bit faster than the JAP and US versions and also it is moderately at a good speed outside but and I am using version 2.3c of no$gba which is good but one thing I think NoCash should figure out in the next version is a way of using cheats for example Codebreaker and ActionReplay. Using cheats Ma Bad!

[Blazichu]

People can hack their save states and that is better than cheating xD

A few pages back explains how to do it....just search :P

[BlueLucario]

I think at this point everyone knows how to get a pokemon diamond/pearl rom. The problem is it doesnt use wifi, so your better off getting a real DS if you crave for online play.


I confess, i play D/P on an emulator, i didnt want to get yelled at for using an emulator.

[PiplupGHacker]

Note this from the No$ site:

No$gba v2.4b basic DS Wifi emulation (*), and full GBA e-Reader emulation
No$gba v2.4c some final details (mainly GUI and e-Reader related)
(*) no$gba/wifi can send/receive packets, commercial programs are still getting stuck somewhere in transmission. For example, with pictochat, slave machine(s) are realizing when a master machine is creating a chat room, but the slaves aren't sending response packets to the master. Probably due to some still undiscovered status/control bits. I've added a bunch of new info about wifi hardware in no$gba help text (debug version). Additional info on the missing bits and bytes would be very welcome!

So, Soon enough, we will be able to emulate wifi(2.4d or 2.5)

[alx_masher]

Guys, how 'bout my problem? How can i fix the PC bug? How can i deposit and withdraw once again?

[seanmorely]

Rather than doing the entire setup myself I found myself a complete package, with the 2 patched ROMs and the working emulator. You need to know where to find, indeed ;)

Anyway, I'm playing on my laptop and without the whole Mhz-10% I'm running at 85-100% outside and 100-120% in battle/buildings. Even saving works perfect, I'm one happy guy right now.

EDIT: one small question. How can I make the screens bigger? The traditional windows ways aren't working for me.

[alx_masher]

I'm sorry sean, you cannot increase the window size of the No$GBA in ds mode.

[♠εx]

I have a problem with my emulator, when I open Diamond everything works fine until the point where you VS the Starly, when I kill it when it say's Chimchar used Scratch, it freezes and does nothing. What have I done wrong?

I couldn't find the stuff to patch and so on so I didn't, maybe that affected it?

[salmjak]

Isthere anyway toincrease emulation speed by any program or something? I run in 15-20% and it's like impossible to move....I've tried a bunch of things to make it emulate faster bu nothing will work :(

[seanmorely]

Is your sound enabled? If it isn't your game will ALWAYS crash after a battle.

The main thing to do if you want to speed up things is turn the sound to Low (11kHz) and emulation speed to Ultimate Mhz Disaster - 10%. 20% is very little thought, no idea if it will help a lot. My 2yo laptop can play with high setting around 100% so a powerful computer should work excellent.

[alx_masher]

@Brane: Please read previous posts.
@salmjak: the problem is in your computer. i fyou have a slow one, it will be slow no matter what you do. in my old computer i emulate at 80% speed outside but in my new computer i can emulate for up to 200% outside. unbelievable? he he he.

for my previous problem, i have already solved it. when your emulator freezes when using the pc, just open the move pokemon option and change box. the deposit option should probably be running normally now.

[salmjak]

Yeah my computer is very old :P Not as powerfull as laptops are now. Getting a new computer in a couple of weeks hope it will be better so I can play :)

[BlueSonic]

I'm guessing you can hack the Diamond roms, how is this done?

[alx_masher]

Yeah my computer is very old :P Not as powerfull as laptops are now. Getting a new computer in a couple of weeks hope it will be better so I can play :)

If you are going to buy a new computer or laptop, i suggest buy a real nintendo DS rather than keep emulating AND it's legal.

[bxela1]

How did you get saving to work? I'm really sick of restarting Phoenix Wright every time I want a break.

[alx_masher]

How did you get saving to work? I'm really sick of restarting Phoenix Wright every time I want a break.

it's in the ROM. find a fixed version in the net. or patch it with an IPS file. Google for one.

[bxela1]

Do you mean snapshotting or saving within the game?

[alx_masher]

Do you mean snapshotting or saving within the game?

It's saving within the game. there are tons of patch files out there. try each and every one if you like. that snapshotting you are talking about is savestates right? i don't know if savestates work in NO$GBA 2.4c

[BlueSonic]

I'm guessing you can hack the Diamond roms, how is this done?
Yeah, please can someone awnser?

[Nytkoi]

wow!finally DP !is this a hack system or a game?

[jonicito]

Would the tiles be missing by using "ATI rage pro" card. If you using an old video card, would it has error like bad directx on 3dfx voodoo bashenne and blending errorb on Matrox G200 and G400.

[shadowboy166]

Yeah, please can someone awnser?

No, just a small question from my side. Can you link with Diamond with Pearl (VBA Link style) to obtain version exclusive pokemons (glameow and stuff) and trade pokemons (steelix, alakazam)? I really doubt this is possible, but I'm hoping we can :D

You can link using NO$GBA however, I am not sure if you can link between two games. I have tried linking with a Diamond and Pearl ROM but I only get to use one ROM at a time. You can't link using the VBALink style. Simply Right-click on the games screen and choose link. A new emulator will be attached to the emulator and you can now use the two of them. It goes VERY SLOOOOW when linking two DS ROMs. If anyone knows how to link between two games in the NO$GBA, please tell.

[If U Seek Amy]

Does Anyone Know When Next Version of No$Gba is gonna come out? I Can't Stand Playing DP in Slow Motion :P

[nrox653]

Well version 2.4e of NO$GBA just released, and I'm seeing a BIG speed increase on my computer using the new update. Not sure about everyone else, but this increase in speed actually allows me to play my Diamond ROM without having outdoors roaming having to take forever or giving up because of laggy gameplay.

[TSPhoenix]

In 2.4e for me the intro runs fine (albeit at 85%, but thats faster than it used to run, and it easily goes full speed for all the non-psuedo 3D bits.

The only problem is that the game freezes when I select to continue my saved game. If I rename/delete the savegame or set it to Flash 256K it lets me play the game. Anyone know what I need to do to fix this problem?

It's a bit faster... but still not good enough. Guess I'll have to wait a bit more. 10x anywayss

The only problem is that the game freezes when I select to continue my saved game. If I rename/delete the savegame or set it to Flash 256K it lets me play the game. Anyone know what I need to do to fix this problem?

It's a bit faster... but still not good enough. Guess I'll have to wait a bit more. 10x anywayss

same problem as 2 post above. version 2.e faster but continue don't work also with patched roms. what's the problem?

EDIT: ok, version 2.4e fast and all, but no way to save!!!! HEEEEELP :'( :'( ç_ç

If your emulator laggs. Go to emulator settings and make sure your NDS Cartridge memory is 512K. Go to Emulation speed, If you want put it to Unlimited 10%MHZ. Or Realtime.(doesnt make much of a difference anyways.) Anyways, Close the options box and save setting. not only these are ways to solve the lagg problem. It also solves the save problem.

If this still doesnt work, Close some programs that you arent using, or Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE. That's winodws task manager. You can only gain acess to that on a computer's administrators user account. Go to windows Task Manager, see if there are any programs that says NOT RESPONDING. Close those programs. Then click process. Scroll to the left to find memory usage Press the button twice. to see The highest number is on top.
Close the programs that is taking up the most memory on your computer unless the username says system or network.

That should work. If your still getting lag problems. you need a new computer, because your computer does not have enough memory for the emulator to run properly. (512MB is reccomended) Or go play at a library or grandmas house. No$GBA uses ALOT of memory. 80,00K at the very least. Don't run too many programs while playing on your emulator.
That's it.

By the way, does any1 have any information on the Wi-Fi feature? because im dying to play competitively. and It's impossible to complete the pokedex without online communication.

[Team Poison]

on the no$gba site it says you can use AR and CB codes for the DS games on version 2e, if so which games can you use cheat codes with!

[If U Seek Amy]

BlueLucario I think 512MB of ram is a bit low for a system requirement, cause that's what I have. In the beginning the game runs pretty fast... a bit too fast :P But once I'm in my room the speed drops down dramatically to 50-60% and outside it's about 40%. It's very frustrating. All I have running is Norton Internet Security, do you think that's the problem?

I also noticed that No$Gba needs a lot of CPU power. Am I right?

Yes, you are right. No$Gba needs aLOT of RAM. Go to windows task manager. Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE(That is if you are on a computer administrator account.Some computers will open this feature by pressing the button) Click on Process tab.Then scroll to the Right and click memory usage click on it twice. so the program with the highest memory usage goes on top of the list. If norton uses the most memory usage( Anti-Virus/Secutiy Software tend to hog all memory.) Then close it. It's not reccomended. So if your going to shut down norton, I recommend Disconnecting from the internet so you wont get any registry files(aka Spyware/Adware) Which will slow down the computer even more the point where it crashes. Spyware can still get into your computer even if you are not downloading anything.

Did you say that when you started the game the game lags when you start off in your room? Did you save? and kept your save file or do you have to start a new game? did you change the setting of your emulator? Go to NDS Cartridge memory(Can't remember the name) Select 512KB. And make sure your emulation speed is either Realtime or unlimited 10%MHz. If that doent work you need to patch the game.

Hope this helps.

[Corona]

Everytime I load my game it gets to the first message of the making your name thing then all the buttons stop working

Its not frozen because the sound still works and the blicking thing that means for you to press A(1) still blinks

[TSPhoenix]

Freeing RAM and CPU is not really going to help. NO$GBA never uses any more than 90MB of RAM when playing DP, and maybe another 80MB of swap.

On top of that the fastest I can get it to go (no sound, monochrome, everything unneeded disabled) is 90% when in a 3D part, otherwise it can go about 900%. My computer is reasonable fast (3.2Ghz) and when NO$GBA is running only about 60% of my CPU cycles are being used.

What this means is that no matter how hard you try, its not going to run full speed. To put it simply the emulator is still not optimised enough to do it no matter how fast your computer is, as its not using 100% CPU anyway. Until a newer version don't expect to get it running full speed.

[If U Seek Amy]

TSPhoenix Ya I kinda figured that out eventually :D Well I'd rather wait than play it this slow..

*******waiting... :D:P hehe

[Obito.]

wow, i give up. this firmware thing is like impossible to find.

[cε׀׀]

Yep its real hard........
Even i tried for hours

[TSPhoenix]

They run exactly the same.

In 2.4f it seems to be sitting around 90% speed, which is not overly frustrating to play at.

[PKMN Nick]

Okay, when playing the game, the game stops and freezes when I'm trying to access my computer and store Pokemon. The second I click store and the boxes appear, it freezes. What to do? I'm playing Pearl.

Go move into another box. Get the pokemon you want from the box that makes your freeze to an empty box. Besure you MOVE not withdraw or deposit.

[Houndoomed]

When I load it, it always says:

The data could not be read
Please turn off the power, then remove and reinsert the DS Game Card.

You need to change the emulator settings

Go to emulation-----> Emulation settings

I'll give you the settings i made for the emulator.


Emulation Speed-----> 16.78MHz Realtime, Auto

Reset/Startup Entry point--------> Start Cartridge Directly

Video Output--------> 24bit True Color

GBA mode-----> VGA (poppy bright)

GBA Cartridge backup media-------> Auto

NDS Cartridge backup media---------> FLASH 512KBytes(Do this or the game wont save)

Solar sensor level------> Bright Sunlight.

Sound Output level------> Digital Mono(fast)

sound Desired Sample rate-------> High (44kHz)(Best)

multiboot port----> None/disabled

Multiboot Normal/Burst Delays------> Medium/Medium(stable)

Number of Emulated Gameboys.------> 1

Link Gamepaks------> Gamepacks in all GBAs


Link cable type-------> automatic


Those are the settings I made with my emulator. I reccomend you change these settings and KEEP IT THAT WAY. If you play around with the emulation settings too much you'll mess up the game. And rollback your save data.

[Houndoomed]

Thank you very much, it works ^^

[PiplupGHacker]

Hey guys, I have those exact settings, no$gba 2.4f and it already generated no$gba config, no$gba.INP, a slot folder, and a battery folder. There is a pkm2.SAV (the name of y rom) in the battery folder. but when I load it it just goes black after I hit continue. What am I doing wrong??

Thanks.

EDIT: I just patched it with all pokemon catchable ad got really far. I'm scared this will happen again. It is patched, but I'm still not sure what to do.

[Houndoomed]

I have another 2 questions. How do you make it go faster? It's super slow when you go outside. And how do you save?

[PiplupGHacker]

to make it go faster change it to %10 in emulator speed. It'll go lke in the 80's outsid and %130 inside

[BlueLucario]

Thank you very much, it works ^^

Glad to help ^_^

If your concerned about the save Data. Don't play around with the emulations settings. If you do your save data will get roll backed. meaning you claimed to have beaten roark then saved, but when you load your save file you end up where you last saved, like before you got your starter. before saving with roark even if you saved after that. It's less likely to crash.

I have another 2 questions. How do you make it go faster? It's super slow when you go outside. And how do you save?

Simple, Do either realtime. or unlimited 10% on your emulations speed. If that still doesnt work the problem is the programs running on your computer. Close all the programs, internet explorer usually. takes up the most memory. If you think you have no programs running and you're still lagging. Go to windows task mamager. (press ctrl+alt+delete) or right click your task bar, and select task manager. Click on the Process Tab. Scroll to the right and click, memory usage column twice, so the program using the most memory is on top. Go to the bottom of the task manager and see your CPU Usage. If it's high than 75% (75% usually goes to 100)you need to close some programs. Find the program with the most memory usage(That does NOT Have the name SYSTEM.) Right click that program, and click End Process tree. You will see a Warning Dialog Box. Click Yes.

OR

Find NO$GBA.EXE right click it. Find Priority, and set it to High. (And I mean HISH, nothing higher than that.)

to make it go faster change it to %10 in emulator speed. It'll go lke in the 80's outsid and %130 inside

From time to time it will still lag. but usually it's


If you have any memory hogging programs on the task manager, process tab that says SYSTEM. I wouldnt reccomend Closing it. but try it anyway, if your really too freaked out to do it, give me the name of the program thats using too much memory. then I will tell you whether or not to close it.

[PiplupGHacker]

I saved twice, and it still won't work when I reopen the emulator, even though it generated a sav file, it just sits on the black screen

[BlueLucario]

LOL, Funny. I had that problem last night. It's very simple to fix it. If you had No$GBA 2.4f, this shouldnt be much of a problem to fix. All you need to do is encrypt the rom. Not patch it, you need to encrypt it.

I'm probsbly not allowed to link you directly, but I suggest you google. And Look up EnDryptS. . thw website should be green. Scroll down to look for the program. Download the zip file, and unzip the compressed file. Then unzip the compressed file in the folder you unzipped. Then Extract the EnDryptS zip sile to the same folder the rom is located. Execute the program, then it will automatically search for a rom in it's folder. Then you will have the option of encrypting it. Encrypt the rom. Open the emulator up again and SET IT TO REALTIME EMULATION SPEED. If you don't you'll just see a black screen.

If you have a compressed version of the rom, I suggest you extract the rom somewhere and encrypt that rom, Another copy of the rom won't really affect the save file, as long as the save file and the rom names are the same.

Oh you also need. If you have just downloaded the emulator.

ndsbios7/ndsbios9 firmware.bin(Don't move it or copy/paste it it won;t work. Just as soon as you open the rom look for an extension eith the name NO$GBA.(I forgot the extension name. and rename it to firmware.bin.)

I 4got to mention that your NDS memory settings are 512KB. nothing else

[OMNIPOTENT]

it happened to me when i updated the no$ to a new version after saving with an old one. if u did, your previous save file won't work on a different emulator. know this.

[Vincent11998]

This is just cool but I don't know where to get eNDryptS.

[OMNIPOTENT]

google for it. if u fail, google for it more deeply ^^

[~cpuDuDe08~]

Guys,

Why don't you use iDeaS?
It's fast, it saves(w/ wifi 1.0.0.1 plugun),and you don't need a firmware or BIOS i havn't had any problems with it!

Try it but wikipedia search it(google dosn't have it):shocked:

did YOU try it? cause i think that Diamond And Pearl can only be (fully) emulated with No$Gba. hehe I'm too lazy to check it out so can anyone confirm this?

I tries iDeaS, it sucks, when you open the D/P rom or any rom for that matter the program crashes and so does my computer.

[OMNIPOTENT]

same as above. i tried ideas with pokemon and it didn't work properly. well, it didn't work at all, it crashes and close all. THAT'S why we don't use ideas...

and for guys who need the additional filez, don't try only google. try youtube too ;) (mine were found there)

[KIRA-DIABLO]

When do you first know about that?
NO$GBA 2.4f can play that and also DSEMUME0.6 ok?

[BlueLucario]

when i first used them, I also I used DSmuME emulator. THast one didnt work either.

NO$GBA 2.4F works fine with pokemon D/P you just need to encrypt the rom.

[NekoRobin]

um, if you have NDS why play on emulators?
And if you don't have NDS then why not get one?

[Dan123412]

I try to change the "Reset/Startup Entry Point" from "Start Cartridge directly" to "GBA BIOS (Nintendo Logo)" When I reset the emulator. I get this message saying "The ROM image has crashed." I can't fix that...

[rocky_lifter]

I have a problem using the pc storage system. I try using the "move" option and can move the stored pokemon from box to box but can't move any of my party pokemon into the box. Any tips on how to fix this?

[PiplupGHacker]

I suggest you redownload the newest version. It works completey fine unless you have Windows 90 or something. Even with win98 it works

This meaning everyone at least try iDeaS

[rocky_lifter]

Ok, I downloaded both the newest update of no$gba (which i have been using) and IDeaS. Here's the problems I got from those: the new no$gba only goes to the load game screen. When I hit A to load the game, it goes black, like it is loading it and then nothing happens. THe IDeaS won't allow me to open my saved game from no$gba, a game I've been playing for months now. Any ideas to remedy these?

The new No$gba version won't load our saved games properly. only sometimes.

[YourNobody]

It seems like that save files either don't work or become unstable when you update No$gba. Your best bet is to start a new game.

Pokemon D/P plays well for me

Does anyone know what settings I can toggle to fix this problem, or can it even be fixed?

Thanks

well this problem is solved in the latest version of No$gba. Pokemon Ranger is now officially fully playable, no more transparent pokemon and characters, works great at normal speed :) Hard to play with a mouse, but still playable :D
Wish I could say the same about Diamond and Pearl :( *Still too slow to play :( *

[Wataru123]

then something must b wrong with yr emulator

[okaakshay]

In my emulator folder i have :-

the rom is in another folder and is patched with IPS win and also encrypted with "endrypts anvanced" .
i have no$gba settings as suggested in earlier posts

still i get communication error whenever i try to load my pokemon pearl

Someone PLZZ help me !!

~ Got it.


But now...

I saved the game.
Now i want to play again i click continu

Both screens are black and stay black..

How do is solve this?

[XNeofX]

Nobody knows how to save it?

[MR. MR. MR. ATOM.]

When that's done, go back to Options>Save Options. Now, save your game then go File>Reset Cartridge. The game will load up, and if you did it right, your saved game should load.

NOTE: FOR THIS TO WORK YOU HAVE TO START A WHOLE NEW GAME.

Enjoi!

[XNeofX]

If i put it on Unlimited MHz-Disaster, 10%
The game goes 2 as fast as normal

The music goes superspeed you walk superspeed everything...
Is that a must?

OK
I did all the options
Saved my game with Options -> Save
Then i did File> Reset cartridge
Game wont load, just again new game

[Asday]

It appears that this thread is unnecessary. If you have no$GBA 2.5c+, then you can run DP from the off.

Go to emulator-zone dot com and grab the version of no$ that is there.

The only setting I had to change was save type, or something of the like, and I changed it to the largest value. (The one with 512 at the end)

Reset the cart, and you're good to go.

Remember, no$ can't run from .zips, like VBA, so unzip all your DPage first.

Did you start your game over? You might also have to delete your old .SAV file, so I suggest you do that. THEN try again.

MAJOR UPDATE: No$gba v2.6 is released!
No$gba now with 3d rendering!
I downloaded the latest version and it's faster now...

Unfortunately, No$gba is no longer freeware.. you have to donate in order to obtain it now.
visit http://nocash.emubase.de/gba.htm for more information.
Once a newer version is available, the old version becomes freeware..

SUPPORT THE POOR GUY... WE OWE HIM THAT MUCH...

[Drai]

I chose those above settings and saved the options and reset the game cartridge and I've still had no luck with loading my game.

Just be to clear, I do go to file, and then save snapshot correct? When I try and load the snapshot it says the rom-image has crashed.

Anyway, if somebody could help me out that would be great.

Edit: I never even thought to save from the in-game options menu, brilliant, it works now. However, if there's a way to increase the speed (although from what I've gathered it's not possible yet) then please let me know. With the exception of battles (which run around 200-300%) everything is about 3/4 speed.

[Molineux]

I'm operating at like 46% speed at the moment :O this is shocking

[Innocent Light]

Why don't you try No$GBA 2.5??? It's much better and more faster. That's the one I'm using. And to let it save, I remembered a tut in Youtube in No$GBA to make it save in D/P..... Btw, Au Revoir...

[Molineux]

I'm using 2.6 and it's fine now.

I also found my tut on youtube (sorry if this is giving hints).

[0m3ga_S1nn3r]

[Sephiroth-Kun]

Okay, I'm having some problems with No$GBA. I downloaded v2.5 and got it to where it will run really fast, but won't let me write a snapshot or make an ingame save. 2.6 WILL let me save, but it runs at about 40%-50%. Any ideas on how to help me out?

[Team Poison]

When I save then reset the emulator to continue I get this message:

[zaayid]

I just needed NO$GBA and the Pokémon Pearl ROM to make it work. No bios or firmware or whatever. It's really slow tho,

[Mrchewy]

No$GBA 2.6 comes with a brand new 3D renderer. It's allows you to play D/P at a full 100%, but it is quite glitchy:

http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/8682/deletesw6.png

In 2.6 you can switch between the two, so you just have to decide whether you want smooth gameplay or smooth graphics.
