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.
