Just tried on an Anbernic retro handheld and it’s amazing!! can’t wait to spend more time with it.
It’s perfect with Gamesir controller. The only drawdack here is that controller blocks the headphones output on my Sony Xperia phone. BT headphones are fine though.
Yep! It supports GBA to GBA sync among a bunch of other protocols like analog clock sync and MIDI via arduinoboy or the analogue pocket MIDI cable
Running on the rg35xxP, works like a charm. Big up Fors ![]()
Imagine what you could do with the power of the ds, 3ds, vita, switch… switch 2 :)) nonetheless this is very cool.
Happy to hear! Yeah, I need to figure out a way to very clearly convey that this will run on basically ANYTHING haha ![]()
Kinda cool how universal GBA emulators are, makes it very accessible but maybe a little tricky to set up depending. Will make a video or something.
This is definitely amazing app - Plamen Georgiev on Instagram: "Having fun with the fantastic FMS by #lo-bit.club and #fors.fm"
Let’s get everyone to the party!
The only console that isn’t quite working is the 3DS, the clock moves slowly and the sounds are glitched out. Tried updating to the latest mGBA, but that didn’t help.
For now I’ll stick to the DSi XL or the Anbernic, but my 50+ year old eyes would love to see an inverted colour scheme. ![]()
You can change the color scheme on the startup screen :—)
Those are very convincing piano/ep sounds for a 2-op FM! I thought I was hearing samples!
Aha! Now I get it. ![]()
This looks awesome!
Would love to use my old GBA for this, but buying a flash cart is quite expensive, so a GBA emulator on my phone will do for now!
I get a “BANK FULL” message when trying to save on:
- GBA SP (EZ Flash)
- DSi (SD card, modded w/ Twilight Menu)
- DSi XL (SD card, modded w/ Twilight Menu)
On my GBA (Omega Flash) it looks like the slots are being saved, but it’s all gone when I restart. There is a .sav file on the SD card.
Not ruling out user error…
Ha, OMG. Is… is GBA the portable embedded platform none of us knew we needed but it turns out we all deserved?
Time to speedrun gbadev.net.
Really looking forward to the physical cart. Will be great to use my SP for something other than Fire Emblem
Sounds like you might need to change the save type manually - it needs to be 1M/128kb Flash otherwise saving will not work. Some carts don’t detect this properly and rely on a “known save” list. Everdrives detect it out if the box though FWIW
The omega should too - my older EZ flash works fine for comparison. But not sure if there is something you need to do to restore the save? This is often a bit obtuse on the EZ flash stuff.
Haha it almost feels like that! People have been writing me, does it run on x, y, z and the answer has been YES every time ![]()
Also suuuper fun to develop for with a ton of documentation and good tooling
Bought my digital copy but really want a physical release. Will it be a limited run?
Also is there any update (new features/bug fixes) planned for the ROM version?
First run is very small, if it goes quickly we’ll make more.
No planned features for now, I’m sure I’ll get a sense for what people would like etc after some time out in the world ![]()
And of course, any bugs will be smashed ruthlessly :—)
this is beautiful! will definitely purchase this for my Anbernic device!
almost like a software version of model:cycles, no?
