- nds/3d: soft-accuracy: raised div_w resolution from 40000000h/w to FFFFFFFFh/w
- nds/3d/help: corrected alpha_test_ref (hide if below-or-equal) (instead below)

Note: As i can't test it out, can anyone test it and see how much better it got from the v2.6a.
Edit: Not sure if this the right place to post it, or else anyone have posted it already or not (i couldn't find a topic relating to it though).

Oh My God! Is this for real?!!

No$gba v2.7 various gba/nds/cpu/gui improvements and details

Oh WOW! It is real!!

Yes, this is real.I ask that no one shares the link, or uploads 2.7 to another file host after they have bought it.
If Martin needs the donations, he will, and that is final.~ Xen

2008 - 2013.... Nice update! :DBut... no download??? :(And one more important, make sure SAVE STATE or SNAPSHOT is now working for this version! If not, waiting for next version or later before 3DS emulator is out soon. :)

Replying to #4

It's a small donation.
I bought it, and all I paid was $2.00

Yeah! Just donation only....Some update news from EmuForums website! This version can't run with No$Zoomer..... :(

Replying to #6

Well that's false.

Grate news ;)Just to (Note) Some AV programs maybe a little over bord in mailware .Win32:MilOb-ID[Cryp]

Replying to #8

I see we have Sunman on this here thread....As for why AVs such as Avast! thinking this build is a virus.... It is because the build isn't finalized yet. I also get this behavior with Avast! whenever I test out the interim builds for FCEUX.

Cool people already uploaded it on varius sites :3
Not that i ever use it, i rather play ds games if i do on my phone.

Then dont use avast
I suppose its always better then AVG

Replying to #10

All AVs are subject to false positives. some just have far too many (e.g mcafee)

Thanks guys ^^ .I could add / report it as false possitve , are is that not a good idea ?PS: yes it dose work without AV turn on, removes it if on ;DEDIT: (Note) Sine no$gba v2.7 cannot use no$zoomer - backup copy of gamez and Encrypt the ROM, this way it will run from firmware / GBA BIOS (Nintendo Logo) without crashing .

if its a final version (i.e not alpha or beta) then yes reporting it is a good idea.

Sadly some games that don't run on 2.6a, still doesn't work on 2.7 without encryption or AR codes or patching.

Can anyone provide a link of no$gba 2.7? i want to try it :)

There's a link in the first post.

You have to donate something to get the download link.

Donate Only O.o, i dont have paypal unfortunetly but would be nice post on here as downloable link as mediafire or in other way.Cheers ;) Arshes91

necr0 · #3I ask that no one shares the link, or uploads 2.7 to another file host after they have bought it.

I would agree to Xenirina.
There might be a good reason, why it's only available after donation.

Hence quote: "Edit: I provide for you a link il found in a site somewhere"Arshes91 Most likely got the old fake v2.7 that was going a round for some time !xdl ^^ ;D

I'll have to try in time ;)I wonder if PM B/W2 will not freeze at summry screen , although untill no$zoomer is fixed for v2.7 , Encryption of rom will be needed to play it through BIOS / biosnds7.rom , biosnds9.rom and firmware.binAs we know no$zoomer uses UseCrypt=1 that auto encrypt's the rom.

Replying to #19

Sorry but it look fake for you? here the my proof i also checked in about fileI dont really care about Xenirina said i provide to myself as free link and this would get the emulator i mean is only an emulator.Would be nice the 2.7 will share for free but this doesn't not mean to stop for donate but support the developer is great thing.
