GBA Games dont work [SOLVED]
Running through my list of games making sure the roms i got work and i noticed literally NONE of my GBA games work. They all work on my main computer utilizing VisualBoyAdvance so i'm not sure if somehow every single one of my GBA roms just simply arent compadible for the Retropie engine or if theres some setting/code im missing i need for some reason. Far as i know they never worked, GBA games arent usually my go-to for oldschool gaming so i never even tried to play them before now.
Retropie is updated to most recent version and my raspberry is the PIZero w/o wifi.
Anybody got any ideas on how to fix this?

any if so, have you put it in the bios folder (easily accessed via network on your PC/laptop)
if you dont have a bios file google it, its out there.....

Read this page, all is explained

The bios version is very important also (read above)

Re: GBA Games dont work
Had no idea there was an extra step for that one. Thanks!
I have a Pi3 on my TV and it played N64 games with nothing more than just flashing the retropie image and giving it some games so i didnt think anything remotely "high tech" needed additional work to function at all.

Yes you need, same applies to NeoGeo. Maybe other systems too but i do not use them (classic 16bit don’t need a separate bios)

Saw it mentioned Playstation1 as well but of course the piezero probably cant handle that anyway (neither do i have L2/R2 and analog sticks installed)

Hi guys!
If you don't have a bios file, look it up on the internet...
