GBA (and GB/GBC, although I wonder if it's basically emulating them via GBA's backwards compatibility : ) emulator, best one I found so far; no real complaints yet. ^ +^ Gotta remember to turn off the default LCD screen filter that sorta washes out the colors.

Problems:
- can't map to ESC
- pain to remap buttons
- menu takes a while to auto-hide
- chuggy performance, keeps dropping to 58 fps in Double Dragon Advance
 
Going to try mGBA, which seems better at all those.

Hm except mGBA was running definitely kinda chuggy by the end. Back to VBA-M, we'll see how it will do on a complete play-through.

Built from the latest code using MSys2:
 
git clone https://github.com/visualboyadvance-m/visualboyadvance-m.git
cd visualboyadvance-m
./installdeps
 
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G Ninja
ninja

A .org web site not having the "-m" in the URL has been made to look like an official site for the emulator actually hosts ROMs, and doesn't link to the Github. It was also a version behind on the release version of the emulator.
 
The actual official site, less flashy, and linked from--and linking to--the Github repository, is
 
https://visualboyadvance-m.org/
 
It also has downloads for nightly releases, which don't appear to be on the Github:
