GBA 2player core, video issue

Unread post by gamesfan »

Is anyone else having an issue with this new core? I downloaded both 2player and 2player 2nd monitor RBF files and they both do the same thing.
Once I load the core my TV (Mister digital over HDMI) loses video and I have to recycle power on the MISTER.. All other cores are fine even the reguular GBA core.
Running at 720p .. is this only for the ones with the analog hat?

Are you sure you downloaded the RBF and not some empty html file?
It happens quiet often....please check the file size.

Be sure to go here and click the download button: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/GBA_MiS ... 210623.rbf

The splitscreen 2 player core does only work via HDMI, so your setup should not have any problem.

Had a similar issue with all three RBFs for GBA2P. When I removed the official bios files (that work fine for the regular GBA core) it started working fine for me.

Well still no joy, redownloaded a few times, made sure I had a folder in games called “gba2p” .. it was my mistake thinking it would just use the gba folder..
I even removed the bios as suggested.. still doesn’t work no matter what I do.
However I can get the Gameboy2 player working just fine..

Idk what is going on with this one.

You can try changing resolution for GBA2P or use vsync_adjust=2.

Other than that it's difficult for me to give any advice, as it's working here even in vsync_adjust=0 and with different resolutions.
Sorry.

Ok so I tried it again after redownloading and now it’s working.
I suspect it was user error . The RBF file size was not what it should have been.

Thank you all for your time.
