I'm sorry, what? Posts: 202 Group: Member Member #139 Joined: 25 January 2009 Gender Male Country United States	I'm trying to find a good Game Boy/GBA Emulator. I've been using VisualBoyAdvance and I'm finding it a major pain in the ass to use, mainly because it keeps lagging and chopping up gameplay for me, making things rather annoying. I'm not asking where I can find them, I'll gladly search for them myself. I'm just wondering which is the best out there and what you guys use when you emulate Game Boy roms.

	Version 4. Coming Soon... I will be gone from YouTube again on January 2010. Don't worry, my account will remain open for my permanent departure.

Because I use VBA and even though my processor (Intel Core 2 Duo E4300) is slow, my computer's not experiencing slowdown or things like that during use of VBA (even if it forces my computer to switch to Windows 7 Basic's scheme until I close the program).

Posts: 202 Group: Member Member #139 Joined: 25 January 2009 Gender Male Country United States	Yeah, for some reason the sound gets fucked up and choppy every so often whenever I use VBA. The video works just fine, though. VBA-M, huh? I'll give it a shot. Edited by SkieTheKitsune, 15 Oct 2009, 02:53 AM.

First, go to Options -> Frame Skip -> Throttle and make sure "No throttle" is checked. That might help some. One way to speed up VBA is to go to Options -> Priority -> Above Normal (or even Highest if Above Normal is not fast enough... though my computer is kinda slow and Above Normal is fine for mine).

E4300 is NOT that slow (only compared to today's stuff). I have the same. Edit: I can throttle with no problems... D: Edited by SpaceNinja, 15 Oct 2009, 07:06 AM.
