Just to make sure, you are sure you put the roms in the apropiate folder, and that the roms file type is the correct one?

Shaddonai

And did you put the bios needed for mgba?

ferkberger747

They are in the GBC folder and are .7z files. The bios are there. The emu works great with GBA and orignal GB. Only GBC is having issues. Thanks for the response.

@ferkberger747 No problem, maybe you could try with Ir-gambatte ?

ferkberger747

It may be worth mentioning that this is set up identically to my last build which didn't have this issue.

@ferkberger747 In this case maybe you saved a core override for the core and the settings are overwritten. If you change the ROM type from the RGUI options menu, then you use the 'Reset Content' (Select + B), does the ROM works as GBC ?

ferkberger747

That's a good idea. If I can figure out how to change this I will give it a try. Still fairly new to this.

@ferkberger747 You said in your first post you're changing the GB style from the RetroArch's menu - I assume you already did this.

ferkberger747

Yes. When I back out it exits the rom and doesn't save. Even after I try to use Save on Exit and override configuration. I did just get 1 rom to work but creating a game options file but it only works for that one rom and not the system as a whole.

mitu

@ferkberger747 Looks like a permissions problem. Don't use 'Save On Exit', it will make a bigger mess out of the settings. The core options are automatically saved if you set them through the RGUI - so there's no need for explicit save.

Can you check what are the permissions on the /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg file ?

I got it working with gambatte. This will work for me. Thank you for your help folks! I appreciate it!
