:What makes mGBA good? Without proof, that edit is useless. Oh right tilt sensors or whatever, literally no fucks are given about such a feature. Have any of you actually tried this emulator? Because it's shit in almost every way, it has what, less ram usage, again literally no fucks as it's 20 fucking 15.

: http://i.imgur.com/debxmZ1.png vs. http://i.imgur.com/2XDhLEV.png  http://i.imgur.com/wEvOhPP.png vs. http://i.imgur.com/44Tbsmd.png -- See that frame rate, yeah and it fucking sounds terrible because of it too, and say what you will about the filter being used (eat me) but xBRZ4x should tax the emulator more no? And it still runs at 100%, mGBA with defaults can't even hit 50fps.

How you can turn your tiny NDS handheld into an emulation device. NDS is underpowered compared to PSP, but here's what you can take out of it. Compatibility information isn't accurate on here as of now.

::no$GBA can't even get the software rendered 3D GBA games right (even though it does GBA/GBA link cable and Boktai somewhat good). IDeaS, higan and MESS are so rudimentary it's not even funny. THOSE are emulators deserving the "not recommended" tag.

::mGBA and VBA-M are functional (both accuracy and speed, and mGBA has an even higher compatibility and a better cheat manager than VBA-M, but lacks customized hardware renders and those debug viewers for romhacking purposes -but if we started to care about those no$gba would be the best by far, huh?- so we can't say in absolute terms mGBA isn't recommended with a straight face). They both deserve the "recommended" tag, period.

:Compared to mGBA, it's less accurate, less compatible, slower, and doesn't really offer any more features.

:::MY 2 cents: VBA-M has improved a lot, is still active developed and they are adding missing feature that mGBA supports. https://github.com/visualboyadvance-m/visualboyadvance-m/releases. Personal opinions: compared to higan gives a lot less headache with GBA emulation (frame sync vs audio sync) and a lot better performance. It may not accurate as mGBA and as higan, but for the avarage user, it may be the best alternative to mGBA. --[[Special:Contributions/212.216.160.13|212.216.160.13]] 08:30, 17 November 2018 (EST)

Virtual Boy Advance is unreleased GB/C, VB, GBA, NDS, and 3DS emulator. Virtual Boy Advance is the unreleased mix of Gambatte, VBjin, VBA-M libretro, DeSmuME, No$GBA, VBA Link e-Reader and Citra.

Hi, I noticed that Visual Boy Advance is referred to as "The original GBA emulator." on this page. Is VBA the same emulator as GBAEmu which released in September 2000 before the GBA came out? https://www.zophar.net/gba/gbaemu.html [[Special:Contributions/108.162.241.29|108.162.241.29]] 23:37, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

:No, [[VisualBoyAdvance#Versions|VBA was forked several times]], so calling it "the original" was meant to distinguish it from VBA-M, which is actively maintained. -[[User:FosterHaven|FosterHaven]] ([[User talk:FosterHaven|talk]]) 02:19, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

I heard that mGBA is faster and more accurate than VBA-M. Also, the "best" version of VBA-M has a broken link so is no longer avaliable for download. Explain why it was more superior to the latest version.
