Hardware > MBV2 Problem

#29162 - Ako - Fri Nov 12, 2004 5:57 pm

Hello,

I am new to GBA development and I have a problem with my MBV2 cable under WIN XPP. I can establish a connection between my GBA and the PC over the parallel port (thanks to the DIRECT IO shareware). But when I try to transfer something with mb.exe, the transfered program/game never starts on the GBA and mb.exe says something like: Return value should be 0! I tried out different sample files from VisualHam, so I assume those files are ok and multiboot ready and should not cause the problem.

The other strange thing about this problem that the Nintendo-Logo that should appear once the transfer starts is there ? but it's kind of scattered into pixels.

Does anyone have experience with a problem like that?
Could the cable be broken or does this look more like software problem?

Thanks in Advance,
Andreas
