This seems to eliminate those transparent problems in games.

Damn yo, this is rockin'.
He's been releasing so fast lately it's hard to keep up with it all.

Nice to see a 2D/general display speedup in there too. Damn, I wish my computer wasn't broken at the moment...

conquerall691 · Nov 21, 2007

Holy ****, martin's fast. Only 2 weeks and 3 days for a NEW version!

Gladiator@ · Nov 21, 2007

Man, what a great new.
No more transparency - Confirmed.
There are some bugs, where there was transparency (at least for Pokemon Ranger) seems like the graphics aren't perfect but it's A LOT better - we can see everything now! =)

Good job Martin.

EDIT: With other games, there are no graphic problems where, until this version, there was transparency.

Can someone please test ZX Advent?

bobrocks95 · Nov 21, 2007

Man, now I've got to retest all the games I have on my compatibility list again.

KoolKat19 · Nov 21, 2007

Aw man, that sucks. And I'm guessing ZX Advent has a similar problem? Well, for now I'll just stick with 2.5b to play ZX, I guess.

spotanjo3 · Nov 21, 2007

No, Megaman ZX Advent do not have a problems and transparency have been fixed so everything's fine.

Megaman ZX is perfectly as well expect just discoloration on the intro and in the background at some levels that's all.

OK, but it still seems to make sense to play ZX with 2.5b, and ZX Advent with 2.5c, based on what I've heard...right? Are there any actual advantages to playing ZX with 2.5c?

conquerall691 · Nov 21, 2007

Absolutely. The transparency problem for the intro boss and the character when you are in a bright background is fixed

pearhk · Nov 21, 2007

The bug still exists in 2.5c

hahahaha I have been watching the progress between NO$GBA and IdeaS and I gotta say NO$GBA is progressing the nicest almost all NDS games play perfect on my system.

Cobalt · Nov 21, 2007

I didnt test 2.5B, and already (c) version is out! :O

goten007 · Nov 21, 2007

play4fun · Nov 21, 2007

thanks in advance

goten007 · Nov 21, 2007

MMSF-Dragon/Leo/Pegasus dont work well.
Still cant see the mobs and the gane have color bug in some places.
and it since the newest version

yay!! the Pokemon-Ranger really does work well now.

blazinglkh · Nov 21, 2007

Well.. i really hope martin could read this,

If can, how about making NDS Cartridge Backup Media with a "Auto" selection.
I was able to save MMZX by selecting EEPROM 8K Bytes but other games need Flash 512K Bytes..
If there is really a way to change please tell me, thanksss.

play4fun · Nov 21, 2007
