VisualBoyAdvance-M

Indeed, I keep VBA 1.8.0 beta3 around JUST for Metroid 2 Color. So basically I use that one for Game Boy, and the new VBA-M for GBA, since it runs those better.   After the helpful advice in this thread, that's what I do now too... VBA for Gameboy/GBC games, and VBA-M for GBA games. Works a treat!

Thanks for the quick reply and help!   Does that mean VBA/VBA-M has no way of displaying the SGB color palatte for Metroid 2 (as attached below)?   I guess I'm just confused because it does display Game & Watch Gallery's SGB colors correctly (though perhaps because it's a more enhanced cart, w...

Hi all!   I've finally decided to play through Metroid II and was deciding between dusting off my old Super Gameboy or using VBA-M. I'd probably rather the latter, but when I loaded it I noticed that nothing I try seems to result in anything but monochrome graphics.   Obviously the original game i...
