Nearly all GBA games will work perfect in Full Mode. Some will work in Score Mode.

Many GBA will work perfect in Score Mode but several will have graphic and or sound problems.

The GBA Score Mode sound problems are annoying but can be ignored by muting the sound. The graphic problems will cause some games to be disabled in Score Mode. We will not know which these are until they are added and tested one by one.

Nearly all N64 games will work well in Full Mode. None will work in Score Mode.

Please help by testing the new games, reporting any problems and submitting scores in any games that have scores and reporting any games that need to have saves enabled.

Thank you and Happy Gaming!

Pretty sure Boktai wont work. It has a sensor that detected sunlight.

[D.B. Cooper]

I just donated $25. Would like Mario Kart - Super Circuit to be my bonus game. I've heard good things about the GBA but never played any of the games. Looking forward to checking it out.

Do we want to start a separate thread where we can talk about GBA games?

The first game I played was Activision Anthology - Game Boy Advance. This game has a save feature but because it's a compilation cartridge, it only saves high scores and achievements (Patches). I'm unsure if you want to give a clear for collecting all the Patches or if anything even happens if you collect them all but it's a feature of the game.

Just donated $25. I'd like to see MOTHER 3 added.

[Tails]

Banjo-Kazooie - Grunty's Revenge - Game Boy Advance

Beta Score Mode freezes.

The money raised will be used for improving the emulators for all systems, especially in score mode.

Boktai - The Sun Is in Your Hand Press both shoulder buttons and left or right to chance the sun.
Boktai 2 - Solar Boy Django Press seclect and left r right.

[Krendall]

Score mode for Mario Kart: Super Circuit is extremely slow and the graphics glitch out most of the time. It runs fine on Visual Boy Advance.

Can I donate multiple times?

After you finish uploading the Advance games, could you please add games from the request thread?

In any case, I've just donated $25. I request Mega Man Battle Network (the first one).

Next plan was to work on Neo Geo Pocket and N64. Was there a specific game you were referring to?

Done. Thank you.

[BiggerJ]

There's four that come to mind:

Fix it Felix Jr. (based on the game from Wreck-It Ralph)

Wai Wai World 2 fan translation (Konami crossover game)

And also Pocahontas and Mick and Mack Global Gladiators for Genesis. Sorry if it's any trouble.

@kong

Double Pack - Sonic Advance & ChuChu Rocket!
Double Pack - Sonic Advance & Sonic Battle
Double Pack - Sonic Battle & Sonic Pinball Party

[Kong]

I removed them.

Classic NES Series - Pac-Man wont work it crashes my browser in arcadeOX Full mode
and gets stuck on a black screen on score mode

I don't know if it's just me, but several games I've tried to play were lagging pretty bad (slowing down to as much as 50% of normal speed)
Could you take a look at it Kong?

Score Mode or Full Mode? I've been having the same problems in Score Mode, but Full Mode works just fine.

[nick666101]

Score mode. I always play in score mode, I like submitting scores c:

[Krendall]

For now, that could be the problem. Notice it says Score Mode is still in beta, so it could be awhile before it's working right. I've never tried GBA in MESS before, so I don't know if it's the version used here or if games are always like that with MESS. If it's the latter, there might not be anything that can be done.

At any rate, try playing in Full Mode. If it still runs crappy, then I don't know what else to tell you.

[Tails]

Banjo-Pilot - Game Boy Advance

Graphical glitches in score mode.

dupes of the avatar game, looks to be one english and one another language.

[Krendall]

I futzed around with the normal version of MESS, and I'm sorry to say that these graphical glitches show up there, too. We might not be able to have a score mode for GBA unless someone knows how to get the games working right in MESS or unless we can set up Visual Boy Advance to work as the score mode emulator.

[BiggerJ]

I've just donated another $25. I request Yu-Gi-Oh! - Worldwide Edition - Stairway to the Destined Duel.

Several work in the score mode we have now (MESS 0.141). I am using these donations to motivate myself to upgrade to MAME/MESS 154. Hoping to be finished in September. More GBA games (not all) will work in score mode then.

Also going back and forth working on fixing N64 and upgrading MAME/MESS.

Should probably concentrate on N64 first since it is closer to finished and the live version is effectively broken right now.

[Krendall]

Awesome to hear. Good luck on your work.
