I am a Mac user running a 2011 model mac. I am looking for a way to revisit gameboy games I have (legally purchased) from my childhood. I am wondering what your opinion is on the best way to go about running these games. There is a (workingish) version of VBA that runs on Lion, however it crashes when I try and hex edit, and the custom controls don't work.

I tried VBA, and another fork varient of VBA, (both on the ubuntu software center), running in Linux in a VM. However, the sound was messed up and it was difficult to operate.

Ethics and other issues aside, what is the best method for getting the highest quality GBA playing experience on OSX Lion?

- Only looking for opinions, I can settle with the version of VBA that I have. It would be nice to find an updated emu that runs better though. Most of them have been outdated since last decade.

Love,
F401

(PS. Not sure if this belongs In tech, media, or troubleshooting. So I put it in tech.)

What's your objection to an online one? That's a serious question; I'm not trying to criticize you for wanting a downloadable one.

I solved it. Somehow No$gba wouldn't run the first time, but reinstalling worked out.


I don't want to rely on a third party, especially for an activity with questionable legality. + no cheats online,

I personally prefer http://romsharing.com/gboy/ because the interface to me is cleaner and they have a good selection of games.
