Having trouble loading a ROM into your emulator? Just follow these steps and you're set. 1ownload winrar if you don't have it already then download the desired ROM, when it's finished extract it into a folder of your choosing(I recommend you make your own folder in the desktop) 2:Open whatever Visual Boy Advance version you have and click on open. After that go to the folder you saved your ROM in then double click on that 3:After the ROM is loaded it should start automatically. 4:If for some reason you don't find the controls to your liking, you can always change them by going options->Joypad->configure->1 and set the controls to the most comfortable positioning for you.
Some of my Pokemon ROMs for GBA sit with a white screen indefinately (when everything else has well and truly loaded by now). Am I just not waiting long enough? I recognise that the Pokemon ROMs (I tried Ruby, then Fire Red then Leaf Green, all with the same problem) are larger than most, is that the reason for this problem?
