Game Boy Advance
On a completist scale, Nintendo's Game Boꦗy Advance is a fairly recent addition to the 16-bit ranks. Nevertheless it brought with it a number of choice gems that weren’t just depressingly iꦬnevitable remakes of old SNES titles, earning it a place in our hearts. In fact, the GBA has the finest back catalog of all handhelds.

Get it working

1) It has been quiet on the GBA emu scene for a whil♉e now, partly because there wasn’t ༺a lot of work left to be done. Yer man here is VisualBoyAdvance.

2) Select a resolution from Options > Video,𒀰 a filter from Options > Filter and key/gamepad bindings from Options > Joypad > Configure.

3) If you’re suffering from patchy performance, try increasing the number unde🍬r🐎 the Frameskip menu. If, on the other hand, games are running nauseatingly fast, Frameskip > Throttle should slow it.

4) VBALInk (vbalink.wz.cz) is a basic attempt at emulating the GBA's linꦰk cable and wireless features.

Essential games

Advance Wars
In a fallow period for the PC R🌞TS, this stood proud. Turn- and grid-based but incredibly awesome with it - probably the GBA’s finest hour.

Wario Ware
💜Too many♏ sequels have dulled this mini-game collection’s cleverness, but it’s refreshingly ridiculous and totally gamey.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
An inventive action-RPG that brings an awful lot of depth to the Mario-verse.
