VisualBoyAdvance – Game Boy Advance emulator

Last Updated on November 14, 2021

VisualBoyAdvance is a Game Boy Advance emulator that works with many ROMs that are publically available. It emulates GBA, GBC, SGB, and GBA roms.

It features save states (like those that are available in ZSNES), full screen support, joystick support, the all-important ‘speedup emulation’ key for impatient gamers, and a lot more.

It also contains many useful tools for Game Boy Advance developers, such as powerful GDB and gprof integration.

Also worth checking out is VBA Express, a front-end for the VisualBoyAdvance Game Boy emulator. You can easily configure the emulator and start your games by clicking on some icons (rather than using a command line).

• Full screen support.
• Screen capture (through menu or configured key).
