Looking for a Gameboy Color emulator with Vsync

Yaaj · July 14th, 2004

Is there one out there? All the emulators I've tried have terrible rippling and tearing effects due to the lack of Vsync.

Visual boy advance is a GB/GBC/GBA emu which supports vsync and alot more.

..only then the sound goes nuts.

anyway, make sure vsync is turned on AUTO or ON on your videocard too.

Oh I'm looking for an alternative to VBA. It's GBA emulation is dead on, but for some reason when I play GBC ROMs the sound crackles and every once in awhile I get massive slow-down even tho I'm at 100% 0, 60.

The best GBC emulator I've come across is BGB, but it doesn't have vsync. And I do have vsync forced on in my video card properties, but vsync only works if I'm using a DirectX app. BGB doesn't use DirectX so vsync doesn't work.

that's correct.
let's see...
rew. and smygb are decent emulators.....
I haven't kept track of recent ones....
another thing that's noteworthy is that gnuboy for win32 is dead accurate on sound, but I couldn't get it running really smooth

Thanks, Samor. While I was looking for smygb I came across another emulator called PlayGuy, and it's working great for me. It has vsync and some nice video filters. Best of all tho is it's sound emulation. It's been awhile since I've played Dragon Warrior 3 on an actual system, so my hearing might be off, but PlayGuy emulates it almost perfectly.
