PlayBoy Advance 0.9 Freeware GBA Emulator

PlayBoy Advance Allows you to run many of the homebrew demos for the unreleased portable gaming console from Nintendoª. PlayBoy Advance is the father of the older PlayBoy, which only emulated the GameBoy system. At the moment, emulation is not that great, and only a few demo roms will run. We plan to improve this in the future and are looking for helping developers to commit their time into this project with us.

NO$GBA



No$GBA is currenty the only Gameboy Advance emulator that can emulate multiple gameboys at the same time and link them for multiplayer gameplay. This will let you trade Pokemons on emulator and play all the GB Multiplayer games. Note that No$GBA does NOT support ZIP files so you have to unzip roms before you play.

Here is a short tutorial on how to link 2 gba roms in emulator and emulate GBA Link Cable:

* run No$GBA.exe
* pick a GBA image (no ZIP - unzip the rom)
* go to "Options" / "Emulation setup"
* increase the number of "Emulated Gameboys"
* in "Link Gamepaks", set "Gamepaks in all GBA"
* in "Reset/Startup Entrypoint", set "GBA BIOS (Nintendo logo)"
* put the GBA BIOS file in the emulator's folder, and rename it to "gba.rom"
* click OK, you should then see 2 GBA screens side by side
* right click on the left window, click on "Link" so that the window comes back to normal.
* then redo the right-click and click "Link" , and here we go, the 2nd gameboy boots!
* Also check that you have the right version of the GBA BIOS (there are 2 different dumps).

To define emulator keys go to Options -> Emulator Setup -> Controls
Set / define the key controles so that 2 players can easyly access all of the buttons.
