Summary:

1. After opening something, Open GBA greyed out. Have to restart emu to fix.

2. Close greyed out. You can open 2 or 3 demos, one after the other, the next causes a crash.

3. Several demos still have the screens swapped around.

4. The touchscreen does not work on any BIN file; works on most NDS files.

5. The X/Y key modification works perfectly

6. The "unscramble" option works perfectly.

7. In the Configuration screen, the new unscramble option has a typo (cosole), and isn't lined up with the options above.

 

Now for some GBA testing in my next post.

Over 4 hours testing all that stuff!

4 Hours, wow that's a lot of time. Many thanks for the test results It's much appreciated. It's good to see some progress being made with more demo's working and hopefully the next release will have even more.
