===Comparisons===
;[[mGBA]]:Aims for accuracy, speed, and features. For its accuracy, it's gradually becoming the best at that. It's actively developed and has features VBA-M lacks such as a Tilt Sensor, and more recently Game Boy Camera support. Performance is still a problem, as it lacks support for the fast Direct3D and DirectSound APIs.;[[VisualBoy Advance|Visual Boy Advance (VBA)]]:The original GBA emulator. Discovered to have an <abbr title="Arbitrary Code Execution">ACE </abbr> vulnerability detailed below.:;[[VisualBoy Advance#VBA-M|Visual Boy Advance-M (VBA-M)]]:A fork with additional improvements. The SVN1507 build It is the only recommended one, as it is perfectly stable behind in terms of accuracy and is the best GBA emulator performance compared to date. VBA-M after the 2.0 releases became riddled with stability and performance problemsmGBA.
::;VBA-Next:A [[RetroArch]] fork from an older revision of VBA-M with added speedhacks and tweaks, making it useful for lower-end devices. A bit less accurate in some respects, but fixes a few games such as Advance Wars 2.
;[[gpSP]]:Its last official version was 0.9. There are, however, two forks of interest: [http://dl.qj.net/psp/emulators/gpsp-mod-20090720.html gpSPmod], and [http://filetrip.net/psp-downloads/homebrew/download-gpsp-j-12-06-16-f29570.htmlgpSP-J gpSP-J]. gpSP-J has superior compatibility, while gpSPmod has more options for customization (full screen, cheats, etc). Both are superior to Kai.
* '''VGA Mode (poppy bright):''' No desaturation
'''VBA-MmGBA:''': Only applies to Windows. Under Options Tools > Settings > GameboyShaders, you will find the options:three customizable '''Desaturation''' parameters.
'''higan:''' Under Settings > Video Filter, you will find the "Color Emulation" checkbox.
