You can use only those demos that are compiled for multiboot mode. Most of those will have a file name suffix ".mb" or ".mb.gba". You can rename .mb files to .mb.gba files so that the GBAMP menu will recognize them.

thx,, it is possible to make the demos to a Multiboot mode??

because the most has no mb...

in the FAQ i found this:

How do I build a ROM image that will be multiboot (MBV2,etc) compatible?

#define MULTIBOOT const int __gba_multiboot;
Then use it like this: MULTIBOOT
(Putting the MULTIBOOT in your main project file, close to the top, might be useful.)

but what mean this? the files are all in *.gba

please can u help me,

very Thanks to you ;-)

That's only for when compiling your own code.
You could only really ask the authors to (if possible) either compile a multiboot version or give you the source. And where source code is already available, just stick in what you've got in the previous post.

Those instructions are for DevKit Advance, which is considered obsolete. If the program uses the newer devkitARM, then change the -specs=gba.specs to -specs=gba_mb.specs in the command line that produces the .elf file.
