VisualBoyAdvance is a Game Boy/Game Boy Color/Game Boy Advance emulator for Mac OS X. In order to run GameBoy Advance rom images, VisualBoyAdvance needs the GameBoy Advance bios image. You can dump this image from your real GameBoy Advance. Please do not ask me where to find this file. Do not ask me for rom images, I will be forced to forward those emails to the proper authorities.

VisualBoyAdvance (commonly abbreviated as VBA) is a free emulator of the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advancehandheld game consoles[1] as well as of Super Game Boy and Super Game Boy 2.
Besides the DirectX version for the Windows platform, there is also one that is based on the free platform independentgraphics librarySDL. This is available for a variety of operating systems including Linux,[2]BSD, Mac OS X,[3] and BeOS. VisualBoyAdvance has also been ported to AmigaOS 4, AROS, GameCube, Wii, webOS, and Zune HD.[4]
History
The VisualBoyAdvance project was started by 'Forgotten'.[5] When this person left the development of the emulator, the project was handed over to a team named 'VBA Team', led by Forgotten's brother. Development on the original VisualBoyAdvance stopped in 2004 with version 1.8.0 beta 3, and a number of forked versions were made by various developers in the years since then, such as VisualBoyAdvance-M.
VisualBoyAdvance-M
Visual Boy Advance 1 7 4 Release
VisualBoyAdvance-M, or simply VBA-M, is an improved fork from the inactive VisualBoyAdvance project, adding several features as well as maintaining an up-to-date codebase. After VisualBoyAdvance became inactive in 2004, several forks began to appear such as VBALink, which allowed users to emulate the linking of two Game Boy devices. Amazon music for mac. Eventually, VBA-M was created, which merged several of the forks into one codebase. Thus, the M in VBA-M stands for Merge.[citation needed] There is also a RetroArch/Libretro port of VBA-M's GBA emulation core (without the GB, GBC and SGB cores)[6] as well as a modified version called VBA-Next.[7]
