Special Cartridges: found out this cool thing about mGBA
==Special Hardware==
===Special Cartridges===
These Most of these were never emulated as of yet. There used to be patches to be applied to GBA ROMS with an utility like LunarIPS, but they're for the most part lost to time nowadays. Your best bet is to use Action Replay to emulate those.
====Solar Sensor==== =====Emulation=====This feature has been emulated in both mGBA and no$gba 2.6 onwards:* mGBA: Under '''Emulation/Solar Sensor'''. You can fine tune brightness levels as you wish, either increasing or decreasing it by in-game increments, or setting it at either maxima levels.* no$GBA:Under '''Options/Emulation Setup''', you can find the Solar Sensor Level option. You are given the choice between only three brightness levels though: Darkness, 100 Watts, and Bright Sunlight.=====ROM Patches=====Fixes applied directly to the ROM by various scene release groups to make it compatible with any emulator/flashcard, making the in-game brightness level controllable with L+Left/Right. It's argued this makes for a better experience actually, but sadly not all releases are covered.* ''' Boktai 1 (Fix: ''' [http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=1567 JP], [http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=1145 US], <s>EU</s>), .* '''Boktai 2 (Fix: ''' [http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=1567 JP], <s>US</s>, [http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=1992 EU]), . * '''Boktai 3 (:''' [http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=2048 JP Fix]).* Combinations of Boktai 4 JP with earlier solar sensors to get solar sensor bonuses aren't emulated yet in any DS emulator. ====Motion Control=========Emulation=====* VBA '''doesn't'''emulate this feature, and its "Motion Control:'" option (with keys mapped to each tilt direction) covers the GBC title Kirby Tilt'n Tumble.* mGBA supposedly includes this feature but key remapping for tilt sensors is not present in the latest builds.=====ROM Patches=====Fixes applied directly to the ROM by various scene release groups to make it compatible with any emulator/flashcard. D-Pad controls substituting motion controls don' t work as well here as they tilt it "too much" at times to be very playable.* Yoshi Topsy Turvy/Universal Gravitation (Fix: [http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=1799 JP], [http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=1947 EU], [http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=2001 US]), * Warioware Twisted! (Patch: [http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=1682 JP], [http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=1979 US]) ====Others====
* '''Variable Rumble Speed''': Drill Dozer. Can still be emulated.
* '''Figurine Add-on:''' Legendz: Isle Of Trials, Legendz: Sign Of Necromu, Plaston Gate ([http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=1020 Fix]), Plaston Gate DX ([http://www.advanscene.com/html/Releases/dbreleases.php?id=2006 Fix]). The add-on is essentially Skylanders before it became popular.
