While they were once available separately, this version permits the use of battle e-cards. Project Pokémon made a version of VBA 1.73 that adds both e-Reader and Link Cable support. libretro versions of VBA have this baked into the binary, but also output a different save format that needs to be converted with a tool to be used with standalone VBA. Current VBA-M builds come with this by default. While still very useful and functional, and including emulation for tilt controls in Kirby Tilt'n Tumble (GBC), it doesn't emulate some features of special cartridges with solar or gyroscopic controls (those need ROM patches to function for that version), and doesn't include Link cable emulation (VBA-M originally was a multiplayer branch) or e-Reader emulation (earlier mods for 1.7 and 1.6 versions tried to, but only covered standalone e-Card emulation, not linked e-Card/GBA game or linked e-Card/GC game).īe sure you have 'vba-over.ini' in the same folder as VBA to avoid save type issues. VisualBoyAdvance 1.8.0 is the latest version of the original emulator. VBA-M begun as a multiplayer branch of it to become ever since a continuation of VBA, as it is regularly updated. The original VBA emulator is ancient and ceased development in 2004.
