VBA vs mGBA

[UntoldLegend13]

I switched to MGBA because it has a vita port and I can get more cheats to work on it

I've always used mgba

I've swapped to mGBA recently because it gets recommended by a tonne by people, a good chunk of the fan hacks seem to prefer it and to be fair it's pretty decent and stable.. but my heart lies with Visual Boy Advance. I remember scouring the Skins forums, turning it into a awful looking Pokedex or a Majora's Mask skin. With working buttons and everything :D

I use MyBoy gba emulator, I have no special reason for this I just get along well with.

I had to switch to using VBA-M on RetroArch for playing Summon Night. Both cores are solid, but mGBA had annoying sound glitches and I found VBA-M had better sound options overall. What's also interesting is that we could mute specific sound channel, so if there's annoying high-pitched chiptune sounds in some game we could get rid of that.

I like mGBA, but will use VBA for some ROM hacks.

mGBA. I always found it confusing figuring out which was the "true" VBA, there always seemed to be a bunch of spin offs that did different things. mGBA seems to be leading GBA emulation these days.

The one true successor is VBA-M, it keeps being developed and is good as an alternative.
