Tarball source is http://dl.vba-m.com/2.0.1/visualboyadvance-m-2.0.1.tar.gz

Windows Build: https://github.com/visualboyadvance-m/visualboyadvance-m/releases/download/v2.0.1/vbam-2.0.1.7z

MacOS Build: https://github.com/visualboyadvance-m/visualboyadvance-m/releases/download/v2.0.1/visualboyadvance-m-Mac.zip

So sue me lol I was working late on that. trying to balance a full time job and working on vba-m isn't easy.

But yeah, because of said job I didn't have much time to build a binary yet, I was working on updating my toolchain and making sure it was ready. I should have a windows binary available soon and Caelum should have a MacOs binary available soon.

Solus already has a build in their repositories (beat archlinux to the punch [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/tongue.png[/img]/emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />)

Anyways I'm getting off work now, it'll be an hour (as of said message.) Before I can post the binary.

• remove the default F11 keybinding for save state

 

• document how to provice symbolic backtraces

You meant 'provide' right? c --> d lol [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink.png[/img]/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

• added executable extension for sdl binary

COOL!

 

• minor code cleanup

always a good thing.. [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/wink.png[/img]/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />

This update is great but I want make a question. Is it possible that the red letters that come out when loading the ROM and when you take a screenshot do not appear? Thanks for your work.

Please create an Win32 build. There is x64 build only.

At this point, 64bit is the new norm. I don't see any real reason to have a 32bit build, most modern computers have a 64bit enabled chip that is capable of running a 64bit OS. That is just my feelings in the matter

Why when you press LT or RT key on xbox360 controller, VBA-M interpret each button as two different?

How can I enable Xaudio2 in the las vba-m version? I have low noise. Some one can help me?

 

Regards.

Is there any way to keep the emulator configuration within the folder itself or is it stuck writing to appdata now?

Just tried this version and golden sun the lost age has become an all around bug/glitchfest. Sticking with the older version till this is fixed.

Every year I come back here searching for a new version of the best emulator looking for a gamma, bright option, but never comes. The emulator has been enhanced almost to perfection but still has the bright issue, i wonder if someday it is going to be fixed.
