Add info about save type and VBA-M libretro
The original VBA emulator is ancient and has ceased development in 2004. VBA-M is a continuation of VBA, as it is regularly updated.
VBA-Next is an optimized version of an older revision of VBA -M with speedhacks and is available as a libretro core for [http://emulation-general.wikia.com/wiki/RetroArch RetroArch]. There is also a libretro version of the latest VBA-M, which is slower but has less compatibility issues and regressions.
For the Wii, it's better to use the VBA-Next core of RetroArch than to use VBA-GX. However, VBA-GX supports using the Wiimote as a gyrometer (required for a few GBA games), whereas VBA-Next does not.
Be sure you have "vba-over.ini" in the same folder as VBA to avoid save type issues. Current VBA-M builds come with this by default. libretro versions of VBA have this baked into the binary, but also output a different save format that needs to be converted with a tool to be used with standalone VBA.
