GameBoy Emulators for Mac OS X. Nintendo NES and GameBoy - It was the Nintendo NES version in 1986 that revived the industry of home video games during its reign. This same phenomenon and impact happened to the portable video game industry when the same company introduced GameBoy in the year 1989.

VisualBoy Advance is an emulator for the Mac that allows Mac users to play Gameboy Advance games on their computers, as long as they have the roms.

Features (2 out of 5) VisualBoy Advance emulates Gameboy Advance games for the Mac, and since the GBA also played Gameboy Color roms VisualBoy Advance does too. However, there is no support for original Gameboy games. Like most emulators of consoles, VisualBoy Advance offers users some control over window size, sound and emulation speed.

However, it does not offer controller support, although you can configure the keyboard to your liking. VisualBoy Advance also supports battery saves and save states, each of which have a handy folder. Also, VisualBoy Advance supports GBA BIOS, but you don’t need one to use it. Running VisualBoy Advance I found a few problems with the sound (it skipped in places) and changing the screen size (the program crashed when I tried to do it while running a rom), but otherwise everything worked okay. Usefulness (3 out of 5) Yeah, VisualBoy Advance will emulate GBA and GBC games, which is all well and good, but the lack of controller support is off putting. With controller support, this Gameboy Advance emulator for the Mac would have been much better, even with its few bugs.
