If you're a fan of Game Boy games and in particular, Game Boy Advance games, then VisualBoyAdvance-M is a great little Game Boy and Game Body Advance emulator that has no issues playing most GBA ROM files.The program itself is a spin-off (fork) of the popular VisualBoyAdvance project which has been discontinued so there's obviously a lot in common between the two different, but similar emulators.The setup process of VisualBoyAdvance-M is rather simple and the 32-bit or 64-bit EXE files are portable. You can run them from wherever you extracted them. Once in the program, there are a number of different settings that can be configured: display, audio and importantly, input controls.VisualBoyAdvance-M supports OpenGL, improved audio sample rate and DirectSound.By default, VisualBoyAdvance-M can speed up emulation by hitting the space bar; it also provides cheats from the tools menu.All in all, VisualBoyAdvance-M is a great emulator that can play Game Boy Advance titles without any trouble.Features of VisualBoyAdvance-M

  • Audio: Stereo sound emulation with customizable sound quality.
  • Cheat Codes: Use popular cheat codes from GameShark and Codebreaker.
  • Compatibility: Play commercial and homebrew games.
  • Customization: Create custom configurations for buttons and controls.
  • Debugging: Advanced debugging features for developers.
  • Emulation: Accurate emulation of Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance.
  • Graphics: Enhanced high-resolution rendered 2D and 3D graphics.
  • Input: Support for joysticks and other game controllers.
  • Multiplayer: Link up with other VisualBoyAdvance-M users over local area network.
  • Rotation: Rotate the display of games to any angle.
  • Save States: Save and load game states at any point.
  • Screen Capture: Capture screenshots of your game progress.
  • Scripting: Create custom scripts to automate gameplay.

Compatibility and LicenseVisualBoyAdvance-M has been released under the open source GPL license on Windows from console emulators. The license provides the options to freely download, install, run and share this program without any restrictions. The source code for VisualBoyAdvance-M should be freely available and modifications are certainly permitted as well as the option to inspect the software.

Be advised that make sure you always get your releases from the official github for vba-m, this site vba-m.com and also available on the official snapcraft channel for linux distro's that support snap.

We are currently aware that there is a website hosting our builds without our knowledge. It is crucial that you should not trust any other sites hosting VBA-M builds apart from the official website (this) and our GitHub-hosted project. We cannot determine what these unknown builds on other sites might be doing to the executables. Additionally, we have been made aware that some of these sites are also hosting ROMs. Let me be clear: we will never host ROMs, period. There is no room for discussion as hosting ROMs would jeopardize our project.

On top of that, word has come that there's a domain out there that is literally taking our releases and using it for their own, just as a reminder, if you haven't gotten it from our github releases page found at -m/visualboyadvance-m or at our -m.com then treat all others as untrusted. Remember, trust official sources only.

Hello everyone. I'm starting to learn some OpenDSS with COM interface (VBA) for a college project. So i did a little code in home with my Office 2010 (unknow version, gonna check latter) in a windows 7 x64 and worked fine. When i tried in our PC's lab in college i got a lot of erros and i changed nothing. The PC's lab is an windows 8 x64 Office x64. I'm also using the latest version of OpenDSS.For what i got when i run the code for the first time i got a access violation error, when i tried a second time i got another access violation plus some errors saying that i should delete the previous circuit, so something happened that i couldn't send codes back to OpenDSS interface (in that case, the clear command). Below is my code, dont pay attetion to MsgBox's text, they are in Portugues, my native language. I would be very grateful for who helped me, thanks everyone.

I installed the latest version of OpenDSS, so there is both x32 and x64 versions. About the Office 2007 i'm not quite sure what version it is, it's a SP3 version (old school windows XP!). So could it be a windows 8 problem?

The debug version won't run on Windows 8. In case we inadvertently shipped the debug version with the installer, download the following file and replace the 64-bit version of OpenDSSEngine.DLL on your computer.

Also, to ensure you have the proper version of KLUSolve installed, start OpenDSS.exe and execute an example solution on the Windows 8 machine. I run on Windows 8 at home with OpenDSS.exe, but have not tested the 64-bit COM server on Windows 8.

I did have a little difficulty. I found that the 64-bit OpenDSSEngine was not registered. Then I had some difficulty registering it manually until I discovered that I had to do it from the cmd window as admin. Then it all worked.

Unfortunately, I do not have a 64-bit Office to test possible problems with Excel. Based on the error message you get, it is making it to the CalcVoltageBases in your script. So it is working, just failing the first time it goes to call KLUSolve. If the OpenDSS.EXE version runs, then KLUSolve must be the proper version.

So i tried donwloading and changing the .dll file and nothing changed. And then i tried to run a OpenDSS example, but i'm not familiar with the programa yet and just opened OpenDSS>Examples>Manual>Example1.DSS and hit the solve button. It asked to create an circuit and i got a access violation in OpenDSS.exe. So i tried to register the 64x version manually as you said before by cmd but i got another error. Any clues what could it be?!

It's a little bit different than the problem you are trying to solve, but when you opened Example1.dss and hit the solve button, no text was selected. So on my machine it asked me to create a new circuit and gave me an access violation, too. If you wanted to solve the Example1.dss file, you first need to select all the text in the file. You can do that by clicking anywhere in the script window and hit Ctrl+A. Then hit the solve button and it will solve successfully.

The way to do it is to click the Start button (if you have one installed for Windows 8), click Run, type cmd.exe. Then when the icon shows up for cmd.exe, right click on it and choose Run As Administrator. Then repeat the:

Hello i'm back. This time i used the cmd as adimin and the registration went ok. But the error it still there! I used the sample "SampleDSSDriver" when i changed the circuit path and hit the buttons and i got the same errors of access violation, what to do now!

You can start by opening the VBA editor and put some break points in the VBA code. Then step through the code and find the values just before the access violation occurs. I assume you know that you can bring up the Immediate window and have it print values from OpenDSS COM interface.

I remember there was a complaint the first time I tried to install it, but on the advice of our IT folks I restarted the computer and installed it OK without complaint. I don't know what is going on. Perhaps someone out there can enlighten us.

We tested the 64 bit COM server with 2 different programs and it worked as expected. so we conclude there must be a problem with 64 bit Office. We recommend switching to 32-bit Office (as even microsoft recommends).

I get this error whenever I open any GP window that has vba customizations. I have looked at the References list and nothing is showing as missing. The line that gets highlighted is the first line in the code. That line is always blank.

The odd thing about this is that if I delete my Windows Profile on the local machine, and then relogin with that same user name, the profile is recreated and I don't get this GP error for a while. It has come back twice now though.

I'm thinking that when I delete the user profile and then relogin, it's basically creating a new user on the machine. Running GP for the first time on this new user account rewires it to the the right one.

However, if I start GP up on a new user account with the vba that was developed on a 32-bit machine, this error does not happen. Then I can go replace the 32-bit vba with the 64-bit vba and it still works, even though it did not work when the 64-bit is in there the first time GP runs.

Knowing that, I'm sure the problem lies somewhere in a file path or registry path: i.e. Program Files (x86) for filepaths or WOW6432Node in registry. 32-bit machines do not have those two and if developed on a 64-bit machine there is probably some references to those.

This has been a thorn in my side for quite some time. I usually never asks questions in a forum but this has been a killer. I would appreciate it if someone can help out. I know it sounds confusing, and it is. If I lack specifics, I apologize but I will add them on request.

The "Forgotten" had started the VisualBoy Advance project. This project was handed over to a team which is introduced as "VBA Team", and the Forgotten's brothers led this team. In 2004, the development of the original VisualBoy Advance (1.8.0 beta 3 versions) was stooped. Then some forked versions were made in the years since by the help of various developers such as VisualBoy Advance-M.

VBA-M emulator is not much secure for the execution of the arbitrary codes that allow us to import the cheat codes from files. These cheat codes are not secure in comparison to the buffer overrun security. VBA and VBA-rr execute the arbitrary code, which is available within the file for improving an XPC file.
