Wow, Visualboy is a terrific emulator.  I would be extremely interested in a howto for getting it to run.  Randy, you have all my sympathetic enthusiasm.  I wish I knew enough to give you more substantial assistance.  Good luck.

it\'s me again.

It works on my c750 with 1.20 sash rom BUT:
- It has to be launched from Qkonsole. Any one knows how to build a frontend?????
                        command line i used is:

                                  VisualBoyAdvance --rom-size16 -F /mnt/cf/Documents/Mana.gba

\"--rom-size16\" is there to launch 16mgs rom files \"-F\" for fullscreen but it\'s not a real fullscreen...

- it\'s displayed vertically and the display with magnified screen trick doesn\'t work. Maybe another argument will help.

- speed isn\'t right even when overclocked. I\'ll try disabling some options.

I think it may work well but i\'m a newbie to Linux so i don\'t know lots about command lines...

Not able to run any faster than 60% (except during menus where i reach 145% !!!).

I manually editted the VisualBoyAdvance.cfg file to disable audio or transparency but it does\'nt seem to make the trick.

I think i should try to install vba 1.7.1 but i\'m not sure it will change anything...

it\'s better to have the newest version, but the speed is really about the same.  I have faith in this guy though... he did a great job with the snes9x emulator.

Sorry Corey C but the Guest was me, (I registered since then), and i did\'nt do any thing about snes9x... Unless i didn\'t understand and you were talking about the VisualBoyAdvance creator, and in this case, i agree with you : he does a very good job!

To the other guest : i installed the all sdl libraries ie: sdl, sdl mixer, sdl net.
