VisualBoyAdvance v1.7.1

posted in Emulator Release by narvick on Feb 8th, 2004

Forgotten has updated his excellent GBA emulator today, now out of beta. He says this might be the last release for awhile because he's working on improving the emulator's timing, and this is mainly a bugfix version for v1.7. VBA is available for Windows and Linux, and has a Windows SDL version and Development version. Here's what's new:

Fixed some compile warnings in the profiling code

Fixed HALT bug when no matching bits for interrupt
