GBARunner2

GBARunner2 is a hypervisor that runs GBA games on DS/DSi/3DS in DS mode.

Usage Notes

If you have a gba folder on the root of your sd, this folder will be opened by default
Games generally don't need to be SRAM patched unless stated in the compatibility list (see below). If it is needed, you can use gbata.
If you are using GBARunner2 with TWiLightMenu on a DSi or 3DS with the SD card, make sure you use the dldi on ARM7 build
The settings are accessed by pressing R on the rom selection menu. Settings are saved when leaving the settings menu

GBARunner2 has the open source bios of Normmatt integrated, with some small modifications. A GBA bios is thus optional, but can be used to improve compatibility with some games. Always try with a valid GBA bios before reporting that something doesn't work! Compatibility testing should as such also be done with a bios. You can put the bios in one of the following places: /bios.bin, /gba/bios.bin or /_gba/bios.bin.

Bios checksums

A valid bios should have the following checksums:

CRC32: 81977335
MD5: a860e8c0b6d573d191e4ec7db1b1e4f6
SHA1: 300c20df6731a33952ded8c436f7f186d25d3492
SHA256: fd2547724b505f487e6dcb29ec2ecff3af35a841a77ab2e85fd87350abd36570
