I'm using both VisualBoy Advance and BoycottAdvance.
Pros and Cons:

VBA:
+ The extra filters (Super Eagle, 2XSal, Interpolation, etc etc)
- Slow on slower systems (On my p3-600, I need to skip 1 frame to get fullspeed.... not anymore since I oc'ed it up to 800)

BA:
+ Fast!
- No fancy filtering.

BoycottAdvance does pretty well on a slow PC. How slow do you mean by slow?

Hrm...it might work. But from BCA's site, one of the statements is "The emulation speed is a lot better, but I still think VisualBoy Advance [I'm assuming stripped of options] and DreamGBA are faster." Might want to try those first.

GBAs are great, I love playin' Mario Kart on my little GBA, it's the coolest. Go run out of your house (naked and/or in the middle of the night if you have to) and buy one.

Keiichi,

(Just before I start... I watched *a small part* of Ah! Megami-Sama a few days ago... I knew abouth the manga/anime a looong time ago, but I had never watched it... I liked so much! Belldandy really is a goddess! Have you seem her in 'Nightmare of My Goddess' [hentai], by Tenzan Factory? )

More or less a month ago I was trying to run any GBA emu on my P133 16MB. BoycottAdvance appeared to be the best for my old system. As I upgraded now to a PIII800 128MB, any of them seems to work fine, although DreamGBA has a little advantage on speed...

To your system, I recommend BoycottAdvance. But nothing prevents you from testing others to see what runs best on your machine, right?
