Damn, that's alright though. I understand it's an experimental feature, but will GBARunner2 ever implement 3-4 player linking? Or would GBARunner3 implement it in the future?

Only with games that are fully compatible with the GBA Wireless adapter, not to confuse with Cable Link connection:

I'm trying to get GBARunner3 to run on an R4 card and it doesn't show up in my settings, only Native > GBARunner2. It works for Mother 3 and Kirby but fails when trying to play Trogdor Reburninated (homebrew).

I've put Gbarunner3.nds in /_nds/TWilightMenu/emulators/.

You may be missing some steps to correctly install GBARunner3. Check the instructions as follows:

To have GBARunner3 test builds loading GBA roms in TwilightMenu++ you need:

- TwilightMenu++ 26.1.1 or higher
- GBARunner3.nds inside \_nds\TWiLightMenu\emulators
- GBA bios bios.bin inside \_gba
- Get the configs folder from the repository and copy it inside of the \_gba folder, it should be \_gba\configs
- GBARUNNER3_TEST = 1 text line under the [SRLOADER] section in \_nds\TWiLightMenu\settings.ini

I've done this now but it still only has Native > GBARunner2 and GBARunner2 in my settings.

The error I'm getting when I boot up GBA Homebrew games there are different outcomes on different games:

Guru Meditation Error
White Screen
Booting and going straight into the GBARunner2 game select menu.

Normal GBA games (Warioware Inc.) work.
Patched games work (Rythm Heaven).

It's just the homebrew games.

If GBArunner2 is still booting, that means that you haven't edited "settings.ini" Please copy and paste your file here so we can see what's wrong. BTW nothing related to GBArunner3 will appear on TM++ settings menu yet.

Before entering here would give you a black screen on gbarunner2 on Pokemon fireRed/leafGreen. That's fixed. Thank you, team.

I have GBARunner2 on the 3DS XL and wondering is there a way to quickly scroll through a long list of roms? I can only seem to go through them 1 by 1.
