I'm looking for a gameboy advance emulator, that's really about it. There are only a few DS games that interest me at the moment, so I want to go back to my classic favorites.

How does no$gba run GBA roms compared to VBA or VBA-m? I've played around with VBA and no$gba (only for a few minutes each), and no$gba seems to run a bit more smoothly, and I love the built in gamepad support. I haven't had a shot to try VBA-M yet. Can anyone give me some feedback?

Explain, "smoothly"

VBA-M has far more options in regards to frame control.

I played through the first two levels of MegaMan Zero on both. VBA had some choppy frames during both of the bosses attacks, while no$gba ran perfectly fine, and didn't chop once.

if you have an older computer (p3 era), no$gba should run more smoothly.

Running on a brand new MacBook Pro, using Windows7 via Boot Camp.

you shouldn't have any choppiness at all in any program. any pentium m should be able to run VBA full speed, let alone a state of the art (i presume) core 2 duo.

hmmm.... that game shouldn't have any issues on anything over a P3.....

All right then. I'll give VBA some more play time. Does anyone have a emulator they would recommend over another for GBA emulation?

 

[Lex_Light]

These are many emulators of GBA, but there are none like VBA.

VBA-M stays the recommended emulator for GBA emulation, if nothing else it's certainly more user-friendly (and thus convenient) to use than no$gba.
