VisualBoyAdvance (commonly abbreviated as
VBA) is a free
emulator of the
Game Boy,
Game Boy Color, and
Game Boy Advance handheld game consoles as well as of
Super Game Boy and
Super Game Boy 2.
Besides the
DirectX version for the Windows platform, there is also one that is based on the free
platform independent graphics library SDL. This is available for a variety of operating systems including
Linux,
BSD,
Mac OS X,
and
BeOS. VisualBoyAdvance has also been ported to
AmigaOS 4,
GameCube,
Wii,
webOS, and
Zune HD.
VisualBoyAdvance-M, or simply
VBA-M is an improved fork from the inactive VisualBoyAdvance project. The
M in VisualBoyAdvance-M stands for
Merge, due to its implementation of features from other
forked versions of VisualBoyAdvance.
Another independent version is called
VBA-ReRecording, which is the preferred emulator for tool-assisted playthroughs.
The VisualBoyAdvance project was started by
Forgotten.
When this person left the development of the emulator, the project was handed over to a team named
VBA Team, led by
Forgotten's brother. Development on the original VisualBoyAdvance stopped in 2004 with version 1.8.0 beta 3, and a number of
forked versions were made by various developers in the years since then, such as
VisualBoyAdvance-M.
