This board will call you a poorfag for choosing to emulate instead of buy ROMs.
>>
>>733471965
The bought roms are also emulation though
>>
I wanna get into emulation but I don't know what to do for gba
>>
No, they'll call you a poorfag when you believe you're entitled to dictate what people are allowed to waste their money on.
>>
I don't get the complaint. if you want to emulate, emulate. if people want to pay, let them pay. there's no reason for some big debate. i thought the Mega Man collections were overpriced. I emulated, then for convenience bought the MM collection when it was two bucks, just so i could see if it was a better way to play 9/10 than Dolphin WADs. there doesn't have to be drama about it.

nobody cares what you do, retard

>>733472219
What the fuck do you mean? GBA has to be the second most emulated gaming device on the planet, trailing only behind SNES. Definitely the most emulated handheld, at least.
How can you be this utterly retarded?

>>733471965
ok poorfag

You know what I think? I think you're bullying others who enjoyed their favorite childhood game because you haven't enjoyed vidya in ages

The very same that'll waste hundreds on parasocial relationships with attention-seekers online.
>>
>>733471965
You still need to buy the ROMs to emulate it (legally)
>>
>>733471965
no, thats /vr/.

>>733472219
MGBA via retroarch is the best way to go.
Retroarch has AV Sync features that standalone emulators don't have - and they are essential for emulating systems like the GBA because it didn't actually run at 60hz.

>>733472497
So just help him out instead of being a prick. You could have just said "grab mgba bro" and it would have required less energy than what you wrote.
>>
This board will call you a lot of shit. The important thing is: do you care?
>>
>>733472861
>having to play on that terrible quality, tiny screen and with those awful controls.
Nah.
>>
1. you're brown
2. you live in a third world country
3. you can't afford copies of the games you're emulating

So where's the lie?

Just let tendies get robbed, they love getting raped

If I had a chink handheld I wouldn't even pay for NSO

>Calls people who play roms on their pc poorfags
>Say that pc gaming is garbage in part because to have an overkill pc you have to pay a shit ton of money
>>
>>733471965
You're a poorfag because you obsess over the cost of decades old video games instead of simply emulating it and shutting up.

It's about as simple as emulation gets anon
>>
So MGBA or VBA?
>>
Emulating something like Switch games with settings jacked up is a better experience and requires more expensive hardware than just buying a cheap Nintendo tablet.
>>
>>733476374
VBA holds a special place in my heart but MGBA has better features.

It's $20. I had a $14 dollar lunch today. I could've went somewhere else and filled myself for half the price but who's counting?
I won't be buying this though, I still have my Fire Red cart.

>MGBA via retroarch
don't listen to this retarded nigger.
Download the standalone MGBA exe without that awful fucking shitware.

Retroarch is for low IQ niggers. never listen to any retarded faggot who uses shitty front ends like this.
It's cores are outdated and inferior to the real programs. it's UI is subfunctional and slow. it's missing a lot of controls and tools. It way takes longer to load the shitty core and deal with it's dogshit menus to get in game than the 1 milisecond it takes MGBA.exe to open up with a GBA.
>>
>>733472497
You look like you know what you're talkin about and shit, so maybe you can help me out. Every single version of mGBA i've tried has had microstutter and it really sucks. There was even an issue posted on the github awhile back and the author didn't have a fix.

How do I get rid of the microstutter? Retroarch and Bizhawk didn't help.
>>
>>733483187
Don't know how to help you there, pal. I assume you've already tried the different renderers, I doubt it's your screen's refresh rate but you could always fiddle with that a bit, only thing I could think to do is try running it in compatibility mode to see if it's some incredibly niche Win10/11 issue but that's just a band-aid on whatever the real problem is.
Frankly, if the git doesn't have an answer then I couldn't possibly help you. I just use the thing a lot, I'm no coder. Sorry about that.
>>
>>733484517
Yeah I've tried different renderers. I wouldn't be surprised if a VM with a different OS worked without a problem.

You can choose between a proper emulator or the Very Bad Amulator

paying for awful products leads to more awful products

It's been morally justifiable to pirate nintendo since 2010 and everything they do only makes that trench deeper.
