I'm want to download a GBA emulator, which are the better ones around? Advantages an disadvantages of them? Where can I download them?

[Lachp30]

A google search for GBA emulators will find the emulator for you, but as for the best..well I always like VisualBoyAdvance due to it's high compatability:)

[Doomulation]

visualboy advance
&
boycott advance

...visualboy is slow, though. But high compability.

[Anchel]

VisualBooy slow?
What are you talking about? It works fine!
For me it works great at frameskip: 0
And it worked that fast when I had my Nvidia TNT2 too!
How can it be slow?

[Doomulation]

I must use frameskip: 1 to keep the speed in games. Especially golden sun.

[BTM]

Doom : that's wird: goes at 99% on my machine with frameskipp 0 ( last played : Lunar Legends )

[cooliscool]

I use a frameskip of 2 to get good speed in VBA, but BA is much faster anyhow.

Slow as in it needs a very fast machine. <_<

Thanks, I'm staying with VisualBoyAdvance :)

Am I the only person on this board who thinks Boycott 0wnZ? ^_^

[BTM]

Boycott - fast
VBA - more compatible , fast on high end PC's

[CKemu]

VBA is the best IMO, great compatibility, good speed, and I guess that does it, but I am concerned, even on my older machine (1.2Ghz 256MB Ram GeForce 2 GTS), it needs for some games frameskip 1 or 2, all that power, for what is effectivly a snes, is that bad programming, or is it pure interpriter, I mean for heavens sake ePSXe runs at stupidly fast FPS :D and a PS1 is far more complex than a GBA :P

But VBA is still the best, and running my machine I have no problems with it (specs in my sig).

[noctrun]

vba runs around 400% (gb/gbc) and 180% (gba) on my old duron 800 with frameskip 0, btw snes emulation is a hell of a lot more complex than psx, cds have no extra hardware, a lot snes cartridges have

Err, i never really used it ;)
I had begun playing in vba so i didn't bother to switch and i've never used it since, lol.

[same]

I use both NO$GBA & Boycott Advance. Visual Boy is too slow for full screen playing.

[snesmaster40]

Stop bumping old topics...

[†kYo†]

Boycott is quite buggy for some machines I recommend VBA

hy, but I agree that visualboy is slow, not all the time, but sometimes it decreases speed even when the speed display is at 100% , i saw it in castlevania circle of the moon, metroid fusion and zero mission, dk 2, and others, so it means that the visualboy is not perfect. so if someone know where to find a faster emulator please tell me, THX!
my specification

windows xp visualboy advance 8.0 beta 3
athlon xp 2.4 Ghz
Ddr 512 Mb 400 Mhz
Ati Radeon 9600 XT
Hd Sata 80 Gb 7200 RPM

[Clements]

VBA worked fullspeed on my old machine with everything maxed out and 1 frameskip, and on my new machines, 0 frameskip. If you want a faster emulator but sacrifice compatibility and features then use No$GBA, but it's more likely that your machine requires better maintenance or has improper VBA settings.

[WhiteX]

I agree, i even installed VBA into some K6-2 of friends and it is the fastest emulator for GBA, for such machines, speed is quite awful and frameskip is to be used, but for my machine i can even use some filters with no hassle.

[Ragemanchoo]

Do VisualBoyAdvance or Boycott Advance have a 'rapid-fire' feature? ... I am currently using BGB and it does not have this feature.

Also, either of those two emulators play Gameboy, Gameboy Color and Gameboy Advance games?

Thanks,
Ryan

[snesmaster40]

VBA has rapid fire, and can play all 3 types of games as you mentioned

[theredmage]

yeah, visualboyadvance rules! But for some reason, my brother's laptop runs it more smoothly than my desktop, and his is years older than mine.:huh: But since I install that video card, everything is going smoothly.

[WhiteX]

put your specs in your profile so ppl can help you with that. :)

[raksmey1309]

Yes VBA is the best it can run GBA games at full speed even on older hardware.

[phil-csf]

I used to use GBA for everything... now nothing beats using a Flash Cart... I mean, perfect emulation, playing the games on the hardware they're meant to be played on.

Owning an actual licensed and legal cart is far better, nothing beats the real thing. Plus, you get the warm fuzzy feeling of supporting the developers.

[WhiteX]

I have a flash cart because here the prices of games are prohibitive...but once in a while i get a PC original to help it to keep running. :D

[kent666]

that would be vbalink.. a modification of VisuaBoyAdvance can link up to 4 players on a LAN.. great emulator i would say...

[Darkfox]

VBA runs at top speed on my PC. Have no problem with it personally.
