Includes Link cable emulation between two GBA gamepacks, and as of v0956, Joylink GCGCN/GBA emulation, which saw a huge compatibility overhaul in early 2015 (fixing notably Navi Trackers and Wind Waker). e-Reader emulation is being slowly added too (none of the emulators so far emulate all three types of e-Reader connectivity - e-Reader only, e-Reader/GBA cartridge, and e-Reader/GameCube). Still doesn't emulate special cartridge features like solar gyroscopic sensor. VBA-M is available for Windows, Linux, macOS, BeOS, [[GameCube emulators|GameCube]] and gyroscopic sensors[[Wii emulators|Wii]].
Is It is the only version of the emulator to support solar sensor emulation (Boktai series) and gyroscopic sensors (WarioWare Twisted, Yoshi's Universal Gravitation) as well as the tilt sensors for Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, but requires clean ROMs of these as their emulation ROM patches break their proper functionality here. They are controlled using the Wiimote. As for the solar sensor games, pointing the Wiimote skyward charges the Gun deSol while pointing it to the ground blocks sunlight. Has other optional motion-based Wiimote controls for other notable games.

==Versions==
===VBA===
VisualBoyAdvance 1.8.0 is the latest version of the original emulator. While still very useful and functional, and including emulation for tilt controls in Kirby Tilt'n Tumble (GBC), it doesn't emulate some features of special cartridges with solar or gyroscopic controls (those need ROM patches to function for that version), and doesn't include Link cable emulation (VBA-M originally was a multiplayer branch) or e-Reader emulation (earlier mods for 1.7 and 1.6 versions tried to, but only covered standalone e-Card emulation, not linked e-Card/GBA game or linked e-Card/GC game).

===VBA-M===
===VBA-Next===
VBA-Next is an optimized version of an older revision of VBA-M with speedhacks and is available as a [[libretro ]] core for [[RetroArch]], making it recommended for Wii (over VBA-GX, from a speed perspective) and [[Android emulators|Android]]. There is also a libretro version of the latest VBA-M, which is slower but has less fewer compatibility issues and regressions.
===VBA-GX===
Wii-exclusive VBA-M optimized port (though less optimized than the VBA-Next core of RetroArch). Supports the various Wii controllersand also offers [https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Visual_Boy_Advance_GX/Match_Wii_Controls special Wii controls].
===VBA-M JS===
Javascript port for playing on computer web browsers. Available Used to be available [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20328726/vbamjs/index.html here], but the link is now 404 Not Found.
