How to use official GBA Bios?

Unread post by the_muteKi »

I have placed the GBA bios in the default GBA games folder (i.e., /games/GBA/) and renamed it boot.rom. However, when I actually try to run a program it appears that the homebrew BIOS (normatt) is used instead as it appears instead of the standard GBA splash screen. Do I need to have boot.rom under /BIOS/GBA/? Am I missing some other step?

I just name the bios file as boot.rom and have in placed in /games/GBA/
Also I have the Homebre Bios set to off in the OSD for the core.
It is my great regret that we live in an age that is proud of machines that think and suspicious of people who try to.

Turns out that just flipping the setting and hitting "reset" in the main menu for the core isn't enough. I have to save settings and reboot the core. It works now!
