First beta of the universal binary for those who really need it (Great for Mother 3):

I'd recommend trying Boycott Advance first before using this. It's very glitchy seeing as how it's a beta. It's the only thing that'll run Mother 3 for me, though.

VISUALBOY ADVANCE IS AWESOME!!! All the other reviews I posted that said VBA was crappy, those are FAKE! I finally realized it that using both Visualboy Advance and Boycott Advance, you can emulate all GBA games. Also, one other user convinced me that VBA 1.7.3 is the best version to have on Mac OS X because all of the ROM crashing problems have all been wiped out. Thank you to whoever posted that review about VBA 1.7.3. My default GBA emulator will always be VBA, but I will always use Boycott Advance whenever necessary.

I love Visualboy Advance. At first, I thought Boycott Advance was better, but then I realized that VBA is much, much better. On my old G3 iMac (I now have a G4 eMac), one day, my pokemon silver battery file vanished. That was when I thought VBA was crappy. I then realized that VBA is much better, because if you open and close a game a lot, the battery file will vansih, thus that's how I came across Boycott Advance & KiGB.

Anyway, VBA rocks. I'll give it 5 stars any day.

Why? Why is it that, on even a rudimentary, slow, old PC running the worst OS ever (any version of Windows), Visual Boy works fine, everything is great, and you can play the games you want? But, under OS X-- which is superior in every way-- using a dual G4 machine which should be ample to emulate the GBA, everything works like bloody stool, you can't save your game, there aren't many options for customizing the performance, and there are repeated glitches, crashes, etc, and clearly no multiprocessor support? It makes me very angry. No updates for years, what's up with this? I thought OS X was a great development platform? And the only other GBA emulator that I've found is, at least, just as bad, but with different problems (and that guy expects you to cough up $30 if you want to use a gamepad and have dodgy fullscreen support, even though his app barely struggles to kind of work, and he is very defensive, telling you that if there are problems, he doesn't care. It is enough to make you want to freak out. It is verging on a form of abuse, in my mind. I'd gladly pay to have GBA games running on my computer in a form that is useable. I want them on a large screen, and not on a little one. What is the problem? Why doesn't anyone care? How come, though I must use OS X because I can't possibly stand Windows even for a second, OS X gamers are treated like a used bit of toilet tissue?

i downloaded it and stuff but everytime i click it, it says i have to choose an application which one do i choose?

I have a problem... The problem is when I go to start Final Fantasy IV or FF I & II, the game does not play when I press return or enter at the "new game" screen. It works before that screen but not sure why it doesn't work at that screen. Is there something I need to do or do I need to add something or configure something? They aren't the only games where I've had that same similar problem either. Please help me get this working. (BTW, i have the same problem with Boycott so it can't be the emulator itself nor the rom) Weird...

I use both a Power Mac G4 running at 533mhz and an iMac G3 that's much slower if that helps any.

works great, apart from one thing. when pressing escape to switch to fullscreen, it switches, then switches back, then crashes unexpectedly. im on a gigahert tibook, 512mb ram, and on 10.2.6.
