About VirtualBoyAdvance
It’s been a real pleasure to have worked with such a great code base and the people whom are still active within the group. Without them none of this would be possible.

The VisualBoyAdvance project was started by Forgotten.[6] When this person left the development of the emulator, the project was handed over to a team named VBA Team, led by hacker kxu. Development on the original VisualBoyAdvance stopped in 2004 with versions 1.7.2 and 1.8.0 beta 3, and a number of forked versions were made by various developers in the years since then.

I’ve finally got my Developer’s Kit =D I want to give a huge a thanks to NoRemorse, el_aprend, SonicISO, Team XeDev, and everyone that’s donated to the team =) Just from using it for a few hours I can already say that this is going to speed up development HUGELY. I probably would still be sorting out the bug in the DOSBox port. So thanks again everyone =D

Provided above are a few screenshots of Windows 3.1 installing on my developer’s kit.

Not a lot to talk about really.. Been working really hard on adding cheat code support, but ran into a bug. I want to say it’s a bug with GameShark’s lookup functions. Which is being a pain in the ass to debug. Other than that we have a new UI and XML settings/database file. The new UI is really sexy.

Team XeLove Presents

XeBoyAdvance - VBA based GBA Emulator for the Xbox 360.
Website http://lovemhz.blogspot.com
IRC #XeLove, EFNet

Information

Hey, it’s LoveMHz here again from Team XeLove to present are fantastic emulator XeBoyAdvance. A lot of work has went into this port. The 360 is a wonderful platform, sometimes it’s a pain, but none the less, we have achieved high goals for GBA emulation on it. So far we’ve spent about 2 months on this port. Work so far has been done on a retail console, therefore it has really slowed down the process. Soon we will release the payment details for people that want to donate. So if you enjoy GBA, or simple want to see more ports (NES, N64, and PSX to just name a few) then please donate. And of course none of this would possible without the support of all of you.

Thanks and feel free to join us on IRC, #XeLove on EFNet.
