I recently got VisualBoy Advance emulator for the PC, and when I first was playing around with it, it was working amazing. Everything was running perfect. It would say 99 percent, 100 percent.
But now when I use it, the percentage is jumping all over the place, and it's all messed up. I have synchronized checked, so it's not that. I'm not sure whats going on.
Is there a better GBA emulator then VisualBoy Advance?

I use Xboy Adavance for Xbox and it's great, with HDTV support.

Damn, I have it on my XBOX, but for some reason I can't get it to work. Wow, I would love to play it in 720p or 1080i.

Boycott has always worked better for me. It seems to have more sound issues, but gameplay wise I've never had a problem.

Your problem is not VBA, it is something else. Try unzipping the original zip to another folder and testing it (with new config files) and check in the registry for any keys it may have made previously and delete them. I can't remember offhand if it does make keys, but if it does, be careful messing with the reg! If all of that does not work, then something running in the background in Windows is doing it. CTRL-ALT-DEL and check...disable running apps one at a time and test to find the culprit.
All I do know is that VBA is one of the best if not the best. No$GBA is a second runner up. Try that if all else fails, but it only accepts unzipped roms and for full compatibility you will have to hunt down the GBA OS rom that it wants...
