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.
