Improved version of VisualBoyAdvance that can emulate Game Boy Advance (GBA) titles or old school Game Boy ROM files.
If you're a fan of Game Boy games and in particular, Game Boy Advance games, then VisualBoyAdvance-M is a great little Game Boy and Game Body Advance emulator that has no issues playing most GBA ROM files.
The program itself is a spin-off (fork) of the popular VisualBoyAdvance project which has been discontinued so there's obviously a lot in common between the two different, but similar emulators.
The setup process of VisualBoyAdvance-M is rather simple and the 32-bit or 64-bit EXE files are portable. You can run them from wherever you extracted them. Once in the program, there are a number of different settings that can be configured: display, audio and importantly, input controls.
VisualBoyAdvance-M supports OpenGL, improved audio sample rate and DirectSound.
By default, VisualBoyAdvance-M can speed up emulation by hitting the space bar; it also provides cheats from the tools menu.
All in all, VisualBoyAdvance-M is a great emulator that can play Game Boy Advance titles without any trouble.
