VisualBoyAdvance (commonly abbreviated as VBA) is a free emulator of the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance handheld game consoles.[1]
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,[2] BSD, Mac OS X,[3] Xbox,[4] and BeOS. VisualBoyAdvance has also been ported to GameCube, Wii, webOS, and Zune HD.[5]
VisualBoyAdvance was the most popular Game Boy emulator for Unix platforms.[6]
