How To get a Game Boy Advance Emulator on Droid.AVI

[theangusbugg]

Too bad that it doesn't play hacked games =( I can't play any of the hacked Fire Emblem games =( Everytime I get them into my SD card I try to open with the gameboid but they NEVER load. And when I check the file it says it's 0.00k IDK what that means =(

[Ashaneen43]

@theangusbugg

If your file says 0.00kb then it's not complete. Did you verify that it works on a GBA emulator on the PC before putting it on the phone?

I play tons of hacked ROMs on my Emu's.

[theangusbugg]

@Ashaneen43 Actually, It was my fault. I managed to fix it after removing some large files from my SD card. I just needed more room is all.

[AshsukeTaylor]

Is downloading the bios thing free?

[jabbedia]

[PASSPORT29]

you've helped me so much! Thanks! I had to use some other websites because this video is so old.. but, with my evo design 4g I was able to get leaf green pokemon to work.

[atterebm9]

@PASSPORT29 What website did you use to get your rom? i have a droid razar and doperom and coolrom both dont work

[IMusicRecordsify]

hey thanks man this was a big help and i apreciate it alot cool tutarial

[SuperRmck]

Gameboid doesn't seem to be on the market anymore :< Which fucking sucks because all the guides to emulate GBA are for Gameboid.

[IMusicRecordsify]

@SuperRmck go to slideme.com its there promise you

[SuperRmck]

@IMusicRecordsify Thanks dude! Will try this.

[MrFistik91]

[stupidkid629]

Would this work for galaxy 2?

[clarktrey59]

[88SOLOMAN]

I'm having the same problem other ppl are having

I click on the Rom I downloaded and it looks like it wants to load but goes back to my file manager. Suggesgions?

[decoder91]

i have a Samsung prevail could i be able to download gba emulator?

[TheDeathrow93]

does both gameboid and linda manager have to be saved on your sd card?

plz respond

[Ashaneen43]

@TheDeathrow93 No. It should work from either. You should really just download ROMs (.zip) with a computer and use a cable to transfer the ROMs. (leave .zipped)

[sjjtoysjdub00]

After I upgraded my incredible to 2.3 I click on the Rom I want to play and then the screen goes black for a sec and then returns to the list of my roms, please help me

[Obesedragons]

[KHASLOOSE]

[GaaraOfTheDesert212]

Anyone needing help on finding ROMs or gba.bios.bin or even the GBA emulator(also the n64 one), check my video out! You can do it all from your phone, no computer necessary.

[streetchaos135]

[jaybar1991]

@Ashaneen43 hey mans how do i change the controls..its so wierd how they have it

[mvp4721]

[HockeyTPS3]

Will doing this void my warranty?

[DannyV1991]

nice phone

[Ashaneen43]

Note: This emulator has been removed from the android Market, but is still available for download at slideme(dot)com

[ReiMidorikawa]

Do the games have to be for a GBA or can you also get colour games?



[Ashaneen43]

Respond to this video... 

[MrJoekick4ss]

@ReiMidorikawa no. You need the gameboy color app for the color games.the GBC app is free right now.

[legowizard12]

I don't have the a and b buttons on my touchscreen how do I get these on my touchscreen!? Please HelP!

[fayalobbie]

the best way to do it, is just connect your phone to your PC and manually put the right files in the folder

[Tillinskies]

do it for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jailbroken4life]

Tiger GBA works 10x better than gameboid. it also tells you all of the instructions inside the app.

[Ashaneen43]

@Hepwolfx

(send a message...) ??

FU (you selfish a-hole)

-----search for ROMs at----

Romfind (.com)

[Connorpei]

Whenever I click on Bios Bin it doesnt say browse for rom it just starts the gameboy just like how it would if you turned on a real one. I can see the controls and everything but Once i get to that point it wont let me do anything. What do I do

[nique50323]

[Ashaneen43]

@nique50323 doperoms or coolroms (.com)

[MrQwsxza123]

LOL AWESOME DUDE YOU ROCK !! :D

[SuperShawnbell]

Why does mine keep saying Load Rom Failed . Please Try Another File ? Help Please . I Really Wanna Play : )

[Ashaneen43]

@SuperShawnbell

bad ROM, get a different one

[SuperShawnbell]

Everytime I Download It , It Says " Cannot Download. The Content Is Not Supported On This Phone " . ? Help Please . I Need To Play Pkemon BADDDD!

[Ashaneen43]

@SuperShawnbell

You need to install a file manager app [with download plugin (on)] to download roms directly to your phone. Linda file manager works.

[DragonUpload]

wow ima follow this tut imidiatly when im @ home

[Jihad2560]

[because12345654]

Please get back to me on this. I NEED to play pokemon

[because12345654]

I followed the steps exactly like you. When i tried to download mario from the same website it just says: Download unsuccessful, cannot download. The content is not supported on the phone.

[because12345654]

What does the linda thing do?

[Ashaneen43]

@because12345654 You can not download ROMs to your phone without a download manager plugin (Linda has one). This is why you are getting "download not sucessful".

[ShadyElements]

Running it on an Droid X, noticed a lot of framerate drops when running some of the ROMs pokemon Emerald, Need for Speed. The saga gensis emulator was running a little better.

[urb0246]

i have an htc intruder and i downloaded the gameboid and gba file etc .. & i downloaded the pokemon red game app and everytime i clicc on the gameboid everything pops up such as the controls and what not .. but i think it freezes or it just stays there idk whats wrong can someone please Help me ! ?

[skateboarding175]

can you do this with ovi phones



[tarheelbball081]

thanks a shit ton man, I never thought of actually downloading the file on my phone instead of transferring it from my computer

[HyuugaSempai]

....

I LOVE YOU

24 hours of non-stop free Pokemon games,

here I come.

[Livetolift14]

Everytime I download a pokemon ROM it downloads and then I click on it and it says "cannot dowload. Content is not supported on this phone" Its also not there when I go into gameboid. What should I do?

[Ashaneen43]

@Livetolift14

You need a file manager app (with download plugin) to download ROMs to the phone. or...

Just download them on the computer and put them on the phone's SD card with a cable. Simple.

[TheKingOfTheLlama]

@Ashaneen43 Hey when I try and run my bios it just starts up gameboy? Iv searched through all the setting trying to work it out but I can't do anything :( Iv also tried installing the bios from different sites and still does the same thing and doesn't say browse for rom can you help please?

[faceplant527]

I have the same problem as kougra2009. I downloaded it and when i go into downloads and click gba_bios.bin it just opens up the gameboy screen. Do I need to hook it up to the computer??

[Rodrigo3141]

@faceplant527 the gba_bios just lets you play games u download the roms im not sure how to make them gba files though

[Hudpitcher33]

what do i do when the controls pop up but i cant search for roms?

[sfront1551]

You need to get the emulator and gameboid app seperate

[GShockKiiD]

hey can someone please help when i download the gameboid thing then the bios thing pops up i search for bios_ect.. then i click on it and when its downloaded it doesnt come up in the gameboid downloads ??help

[Ljlysongtseng]

[awkwardemperor]

For those that the gameboy shows up...wat u have to do is press ur menu or option button then press the little bug thing beside the search engine then download it then find a game and then access it on the bios file hope this helps :)

[slappy1992]

[kougra2009]

[Ashaneen43]

@kougra2009 Starts up GBA? And... What screen are you getting? What does it say across the top? Do the controls show up?

[Noteboom4]

@Ashaneen43

same problem here, bios just starts the gameboy but doesnt search for a rom!

pls help

[because12345654]

@Ashaneen43 It starts up what you would see if you were to start up a gameboy advance with no game in the slot. It just says gameboy. The controls for the gameboy are there as well.

[deeandmaliktv]

@kougra2009 mii sht do da sam thng

[perkan93]

I have a problem where i cannot find the mario game i just downloaded.

You know what could be wrong ?

[Ashaneen43]

@perkan93 Maybe you aren't looking in the right place on your card... It should have gone to SDcard/download.

[awol598]

it says when i download the rom that it isnt supported on this phone. (i have droid 2 global) help pleasee! asap thankss!

[Ashaneen43]

@awol598 Well. That's right. The phone itself doesn't know what to do with a ROM file. Gameboid knows what to do with it though... Just have Gameboid open it and you should be playing.

[aswan412]

when i try to download a rom it says there is no application to use this rom do you want to stilll download it?

help............

[Ashaneen43]

@aswan412 So... Download it anyway, and open it with gameboid.

*facepalm

[aswan412]

@Ashaneen43 yeah i figured it out now.. okay but i have another question. i flashed my phone to cyanogen mod 6.0.1 it deleted alll my contacts but i have the backup service from verizon.. but when i go to accounts its not there.. is it cuz i flashed it or am i just missing something

[Livetolift14]

@Ashaneen43 I have the same problem. I download the ROM and it says the content is not supported by this phone, but when I look in the downloads folder when I have the GBA emulator running nothing is there. What could be wrong? help please

[Ashaneen43]

@Livetolift14

If your phone says "content not supported", you need to get a "file manager" app ([any of these work]:: Astro file manager, OI file manager, Adao file manager), and turn the download plugin to "on" on one of those. Your downloads should go onto your SD card (usually SDcard/download) and the first time you run Gameboid, on the "select rom" screen, you have to go to your "SDcard/download" folder to find the ROM(s) you downloaded.

[JAYWALKERS3000]

@Ashaneen43 genius....im subbing. but will this work for HTC arrive 7575?

[Ashaneen43]

@JAYWALKERS3000

Hmm,... The HTC Arrive is a Windows Mobile 7 phone. Not sure about it..

[Ambassadorkenny]

would rom gripper work

[Ashaneen43]

@Ambassadorkenny Yes

[itsOMGmario]

After i downloaded the gba_bios.bin. I go into the Gameboid folder but it doesn't ask me to browse the gba_bios.bin folder.. help would be nice asap thanks.

[Ashaneen43]

@itsOMGmario Well. If you go to 2:05 in the video you will see that when you open the GBA program (not just the folder), it tells you "you must specify a GBA BIOS file before you can play games..."

at this point you click on "browse" and direct GBA to the bios.bin file on your phone. Once it's loaded properly, it asks you to "select ROM". Load a ROM and play.

[TheNitric92]

Followed instructions...Black screen.

[sammykicks1]

1 of the only 1s which actuly makes sence peerfect thanx very much ;)

[exath1]

can i use ASTRO file manager?

[nerdcore25]

I only get a black screen wtf am i doing wrong?

[xxTHdesigns]

I downloaded the file and it starts up like the regular GBA start up. I downloaded a rom and tried to play and all I get is a black screen

[TacticalAce121]

I have been searching for this for so long! For like....weeks and you showed my..FINALLY! You are a genious it was so hard to do this!

[rambilinredrose]

is there a difference between the light and the regular gameboid app?

[Ashaneen43]

@rambilinredrose Yep. The regular one has in-game save states. With the lite one you can not save (in the middle of a level) and resume later like you can on the regular (paid) version.

[626willleon]

Now when I download the game it downloads than I click it and it just goes black than it goes back to the menu

[626willleon]

Man I need help icant download the games on my droid x it says download unsuccessful

[SHADOOjoey]

fuck all mine says is gameboid is running and the like when i touch the gba_bio.bin on the download it starts it starts like a gamboy advance but thats it like it doesnt do anything else any suggestions?

[Ashaneen43]

@SHADOOjoey Download some ROMs and play them. That's my suggestion.

[mountaincokemonkey]

ohhhhhhh.

my plug in wasnt turned on. Shouldnt it be on when you download it? What kinda shit is that.

[aldinss]

if i have a usb cable can i just transfer my downloaded gba files to my

android

with my usb cable ???

[Ashaneen43]

@aldinss Yes. If you do it that way, you don't need a file manager with "download plugin".

It will work fine.

[aldinss]

@Ashaneen43 awsome now i just gotta find a usb cable for my android

lol

[quinndawgs]

i get a message saying 'load BIOS failed. the BIOS file must be specified in settings'

when i click on gba_bios.bin (before downloading any roms

amy suggestions?

[408707801404]

@quinndawgs same here.if u find anything out let me know..

[Ashaneen43]

@quinndawgs Faulty bios.bim file.

Try getting one from a different source / website.

[G1Officialmusic]

@quinndawgs Mind did the same.you close the game in open it back up,click on bios at the top, look were you save it,hit that,then close it again and it should work. thanks

[hellraizr666]

ok not sure what to do at this point, checked the bios and its linked up to gameboid, got the rom located and tried to dl yet it says download unsuccessful. i have the file manager but nothing is working, though i did dl yoshi's island 3 and tried to unzip, but the file manager said it couldnt unzip it...im so lost

[Ashaneen43]

@hellraizr666 Don't unzip the ROMs.

Gamboid lite reads ROMs in the .zip format. No need to unzip, just load them and play.

[jackson121x]

When I download the bios, it jujst says unknown files, it does not chnage to said gba_bois.bin like your did. help me

BTW im on driod x

[Ashaneen43]

@jackson121x I have answered this question at least a dozen times in this thread. Also, at 0:25 (if you pay attention) I say that you need a "download manager" program installed.

Linda file manager, Astro file manager and others work. Just make sure you have the download plugin set to (on), and you should be able to download file types that the Droid normally doesn't recognise (.bin).

Remember, that you can always download it on your computer, and use a cable to put it onto your phone.

[jackson121x]

When I download the bios, it jujst says unknown files, it does not chnage to said gba_bois.bin like your did. help me

[codyack]

Can Gameboid Lite save games? or does by getting the bios bypass that?

[Ashaneen43]

@codyack You can save games just like you would on the regular GBA, but you can't save game "states" (ie: save/resume anywhere in the middle of a level) on the free version. You need the pay version to save game states.

The GBA_bios is required to even have this emulator work on your Droid. Without the bios file, it won't run at all.

[JOSHandSTEVEtv]

does it work with astro file manager



[Ashaneen43]

@JOSHandSTEVEtv I'm not sure.  If Astro has a "download plugin" that can be set to "on", it will work fine.

[Dominator1212]

im on motorola i1 and this works great....thx man

[nicke4real]

will this work on the g2?

[Ashaneen43]

@nicke4real Assuming you are running Android OS 2.2, it should work perfectly fine on the G2.

[dayofquestion]

Do you have any idea if this will work for a Palm Pre Plus?

[Ashaneen43]

@dayofquestion The Palm Pre Plus uses the Palm webOS (Operating System) not the Android Operating System.

AFAIK no emulators have been released for Palm webOS yet.

[callumt45]

thankyouuu you are a god!

[Dominator1212]

i know ur joking...but thats a sort of un godly thing to say....

[Dominator1212]

i know ur joking...but thats a sort of un Godly thing to say....

[erwin9511]

thanks dude helped alot

[LemaTime1]

after downloading gba.bios_bin on my droid it says cannot download this content is not supported on this phone? what do i do?? plz

[Ashaneen43]

@LemaTime1 It works for everybody else when they follow all the steps correctly.

-To help, i need more details:

What application says "cannot download this content"?

What are you trying to download? A ROM (game file)?

Have you installed a file manager? Is the download plugin set to (on)?

[BmothafukinT]

@Ashaneen43 I have the same problem as LemaTime1...I followed all of the video and even got to the mario game that you downloaded, then it said "cannot download this content...not supported on this phone" after choosing to download the file. I have that file manager installed and have the download plugin set to on. Any help would be appreciated.

[BmothafukinT]

@Ashaneen43 Well i did notice that I didn't actually click on the search roms section on the app, i just went to the site. But i tried again, and it DID work. So maybe that was my problem lol thanks for the vid

[Ashaneen43]

@BmothafukinT Glad it worked for ya'.

:-)

[phonej12]

thanks man. your video was so helpfull. every one elses video was so vauge with the bios file. you actually showed step by step thanks agaiin.

[pyrotheria]

ty so much i love u it worked for me!

[ZRipper25]

I keep getting the comment "Load ROM failed. Please try another file." I think it might have to do something with not working with that Linda thingie you had me download. When I download a ROM, the Icon for the ROM was the GameDroid instead of the Linda Icon thingie (3:45). I've tried a lot of different options from choosing different roms, Bios thingies and messing around with some settings. So Mister Pro, do you have any advice for me? :D

[IIxChrIXtinaxII]

I downloaded the gba bios but the "No Rom loaded" window didn't open.. so i just went online and downloaded the rom but I couldn't find it. I plugged in the usb and found the rom next to the gba bios file... i dunno im havin some trouble... please help!

[Ashaneen43]

@IIxChrIXtinaxII I'd like to help, but you haven't stated your problem clearly enough.

You have the bios, you have a ROM, you have the program installed. Seems like you have everything that you need. (>_<)

[noop34]

amaizing!!...thanks brody

[TheKopifyer]

I dont have the 'a' button on my phone... Is it suppose to be like that? I cant create an account on Pokemon... My phone is Samsung Galaxy 3.

[teddyroxpin20]

this worked out really great!! Thank you...I was wondering,is it possible to download pokemon platinum rom? i tried playing on gameboid but it said specify bios...

[MrJenwaY]

I cant download Linda thingy :O it's not on the marked anymore

[Ashaneen43]

@MrJenwaY Don't let that stop you.

Astro File Manager will do the same thing, or any Droid file manager. Just make sure you have the download plugin set to (on) for whatever file manager you are using on your Droid.

[MrJenwaY]

@Ashaneen43 YEAAHH, I got Pokemon Ruby now and Emerald xD, it was actaully just cuz of Pokemon lol. But if there're some more nice games!

[Lonewolf8444]

hay i nid some help.... after i select the bios it doesnt ask me to select a rom or anything, it just goes back to the way it was....

[Ashaneen43]

@Lonewolf8444 Perhaps it's a faulty gba_bios.bin file. Try a different one.

[SEALsixREDCELL]

thank u ur video is an example of fast and easy worked perfect for my droid 2

i didnt know u could downlod right off the droid

droid 1, iphone 0

[TheSlapJoker]

Hello,this worked fine but i would like to know why when i try downloading the Golden Sun :The lost age rom,as soon as it goes to the beginning of the game cut scene,it goes back to the gameboy screen :S, could you tell me what the problem could be and perhaps a working GS:TLA rom?

[Akumashadow]

great dude thnx it helped alot!!! :)

[braunieboi123]

have you had any experience with the samsung galaxy s i have followed every1 of your spot on instructions best tutorial so far but just no luck with this fuckin fone lol

[Cheek01]

@braunieboi123

I just watched this using the same phone as you and it all worked out flawlessly. To play your game open it with Linda and click on the zip file of the game you want to play and bam, it goes right into it.

[dantecable]

thanks alot men your video really helped. after two weeks of trying i finally suceeded watching ur video. Thanks again.

[rmcorona09]

thx man, i got the samsung captivate and works fine.

[yoshinoob]

When i try to launch a rom my screen gets black and nothing happens, whats wrong?
