what's the best emulator out there for GBA?

[realworksuks]

I use Virtual boy advance, but I dunno, graphics could be better I think.

Better, how? You can't get them any better than what the GBA graphics are or what the different (included graphics filters, such as 2XSai or HQxx) can give.

In other words, there is really nothing wrong with the graphics.

VBA Link is currently the best emulator in terms of game compatibility and features (including linking). The recommended version for most roms is 1.7.3, although you may need to use version 1.8.0b0 for certain roms.

Whoa dude, HQXX? Sweet, which emulator has this? I must have an old version of visual boy advance if it now provides HQxx, what emulator or version has that filter???

kode54's latest build has it. Only HQ2x though.

Which are/is the fastest GBA emulator(s)? I've always used VBA but have difficulty running some games (high CPU usage or even 100%)

try no$gba emulator. its written in assembly language (i think), so its suppose to consume less cpu usage. but my cpu is always at 100% with whatever emulator i use.

one advantage of no$gba is that the colors show up exactly as how they should. it makes the graphics look so much better and clearer than visualboy. another advantage over visualboy is that no$gba maps the analog stick of my xbox 360 ontroller as well as the + controls.

I'm kinda skeptical about that. I have tried no$gba few times and it already got me stressed. :S So I just stick up with VBA.

Really ? That's odd because I used both VBA and no$gba and I am very happy with both. The reason I used the both because no$gba emulated gba/GBC/GB and NDS and VBA emulated GBA/GBC and GBC. I do not have the preference since both authors are doing a great jobs. That's why I used the both at any time I want to play with a new games..mostly GBA and NDS.

I'm using various builds including Spacy's VBA Build, VbaSmooth and nocashgba for various games.I don't think there is a simple 'the best' emu there for gba.

I personity like vba because of it interface and speed. I only go to 50% so I assuming that it isn't multithread. Does anyone know any multithread emulators for 4 player support on a computer.

 

[spotanjo3]

I personally liked VBA and no$gba..no preference here. I used both for the differents reasons, that's all.

well hi! I found a site 3roms.com with VisualBoyAdvance-1.8.0-beta2. It has 2 brilliant filters like hq2x andiq2x the graphics are a lot better with these filters. but these filters work in 2x or 3x windows of GBA

 

[Doomulation]

Oh Goodness, don't post links to rom sites that works! You don't need to specify where you got it.

 

[smcd]

It doesn't work, you have to copy & paste! Saw it earlier but couldn't be arsed to say "no no, that'll get you banned!"

Umm...the latest Visualboy Advance is 1.8.0b3 not b2. :|

 

[Agozer]

The latest "official" version of VisualBoy Advance is 1.7.2. AFAIK, Forgotten hasn't worked on it since.
