GBA + Mamewah + HDTV = problem!
« on: August 03, 2006, 09:39:39 pm »
I was hoping someone could help me with this weird problem

I have a PC in my living room for console emulation. I use Mamewah to manage all the emulators. When I launch a Gameboy or Gameboy Color game out of Mamewah, it works fine, but when I try to launch a Gameboy Advance game, I get an error on my HDTV saying "Not Supported Mode."

The weird thing is, I can play Gameboy Advance games when I load them from the emulator itself, it only doesn't work when I load them from Mamewah. I use VisualBoyAdvance for my emulator.

Any ideas or advice would be great!!

There must be a setting or ini file or command line option your are using for Visualboyadvance that is telling it to switch resolution when running from Mamewah.

Have a look at what command line options you are using in your mamewah settings.

Basically, Visualboy is using a resolution that is available to windows that your HDTV can't do.
