For years now I've wanted people to make a load of SNES/Megadrive type games, but due to the "3d revolution" no one has. The GBA is such a great machine as it has graphical capabilities in excess of a PSX for 2d graphics and is home to so many great games- Advance Wars, Castlevania, Wario 4, Manic Miner, Metal Slug, Streetfighter Turbo X Revival, Mario Kart, Mario World, Yoshi's Island, F-Zero To name just a few. I thoroughly recommend them to people, not just as something to play due to its portability, but at home in place of one of the next gen consoles (that includes the Dreamcast!) for when you want an new "old school" challenge. |

Yeah, I love GBA... I play GBA roms more than PS2 or Gamecube. Pronco... hook me up with that Metroid! How'd you get it?!?! And does anyone have the Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance rom? Circle of the Moon is the only video game (other than MGS2) that I've taken the time to beat in the last couple years. I'm hoping Metroid Prime and Fusion will hook me... and Zelda... oooh, I'm so busy, no time for games. :_-( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

hey ophecks, i have circle of moon and harmony. im still stuck in circle of moon damnit! so i have played hardly any harmony. ive hardly played mario lately either or stafox, animal crossing or eternal darkness for that matter. this weekend im gonna get farther in all of them hopefully. i already reserved metroid prime\fusion and I hope to get resident evil 0 and medal of honor eventually. |

I'm downloading Harmony off of Soulseek right now... I'm giddy like a schoolgirl. *teehee Where are you in Circle of the Moon? How, in this day and age, could you get stuck in a video game with GAMEFAQS around? :-) Ahh, cheating... I'm going to force myself to beat Starfox... I've been at 44% for two fucking weeks... I need to beat it before starting on Metroid. |

its one of those things where I know what to do but I cant actually pull it off. im stuck on a boss, the that sends the flying skulls out and shoots the blue things at you, know who im talking about? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it's this guy? I copied and pasted this from Gamefaqs. 4. Adremelech (level 20+) ************* A. By the time you get to this boss, have the Jupiter + Golem combination (you get 4x invinciblitiy when your hit), otherwise my guide to this guy won't do you much good. What you do is turn that on, and that way when you get hit with the flying skulls or the fireballs, your invincible through the rest of the group, then, after you get hit, whip crucifixes at his head, and whip him. Do this as much as you can until he's dead. Keep in mind that if your life is getting low, use potions or meats before you die! B. I thought this guy was pretty tough in Magician Mode. What I did, is turned on the Uranus + Thunderbird combo. Then, I would whip crucifixes at him until he started one of his attacks, and then did the thunderbird summon. If you gettin low on life, turn on the Uranus + White Unicorn combination to gain life. Keep on throwing crucifixes and doing the thunderbird summon until he's dead. C. Ok, for this one, you'll just need to take alot of damage. Make sure you have the crucifix, and a nice supply of hearts. Enter the battle, and whip him and throw crucifixes. Try to jump the skulls, and dodge the fire he shools at you. Also, make sure that you destroy the little bubbles that pop up from the ground. Don't worry too much about getting hit unless your life is really, REALLY low. |

I got Metriod Fusion from another messageboard... can't rememeber which one exactly. I'll give it to you thru soulseek if you still want it. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Hoooly shit, it actually works... I was skeptical... thanks man! But the sound isn't working right on my emulator, I just get static... is it working right for you, or is this a natural downfall of getting games illegally before they're released? :-) ''NO SOUND FOR YOU, FILTHY PIRATE!!!'' |

| |||||||||
|

**ophecks** you need the gba.bios to play metroid.. i have not tried to run it with out it but i think that is your problem. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, thats right! sound runs with that bios running... And Ophecks, I emailed that bios to your hotmail account. Disgused as spam-mail. ;-) Just let me know if you need some help getting it going, etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks again, now help me one more time, my servant of darkness... I feel stupid, but... what the FUCK do I do with this bios thing? Turns out I don't know what to do, what a shock... |
||||||||

I was actually quite disapointed in gameboy advance. I stopped buying games for it. sonic wasn't even fun. finding the emeralds was a painful chore and the emerald levels themselves suffered from a flawed 3d perspective that made you miss the rings. advance wars was ok but there are better games. golden sun sucked. I waas more impressed with the the oracle of ages or whatever it's called (new zelda for gameboy color) than any of these games. |
||||||||

|

| |||||||||
|
|
Well.. I is running VisualBoyAdvance 1.1, And I go OPTIONS-EMULATOR, then "Select Bios File..." best of luck.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The sound effects sound alright, but the music is a mass of noise, really messed up... but I'll have to make do... the game is frickin' awesome so far, I've been waiting almost 9 years for this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Really? Hmmmm..... well, do you have "Use Bios File" ticked in the OPTIONS-EMULATOR menu/bit? Cause it's working fine on my end! :) My internets stopped working, I'm on a laptop on dialup here! :-/ 1st time in months.. I forgot how slow it was. |

I hate GBA so much except for Tony Hawk 2 |

Duke Nukem Advance is very impressive for a handheld. F-Zero is a true classic and Kuru Kuru Kururin represents great value for money at £8 :) Pogo: Why on earth did you sell your GBA? Best console for 2d/retro stuff at the moment :) I still can't find Metroid Fusion anywhere online... That thing with the bios file, does anyone know if it affects the cart when you copy it to a real gba? |

Dan, I tried that site... couldn't download the ROMS, have you had that problem? |
||||||||

GBA is the best handheld console...but thats as far as it goes. You can't beat a proper console |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

im not rating console games cos i dont give it so much importance although i love my gamecube and loved my gba (now its getting dirt in a closet...) im such a stupid guy...i only baught it for sonic and now im bored...next time ill buy myself a brain! |
||||||||
|

the bios is just the title screen that says "gamboy" "nintendo(R)" when you turn on your gba with or without a cart inserted. as far as i know the bios file is just a boot check.. the rom checks to see if it is present before it boots.. the bios does not need to be copied to a cart, coz the bios is inside your gba.. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
ophecks. nope. i can always get them. perhaps some of the earlier ones are gone. the site has been up for ages. the newer ones (i.e the ones with higher numbers) are fine. |
