I use a mac...and VBA didn'r work but I switched to Boycott Advance and now i can play GBA ROMS.

But the problem is that no matter what version of Pokemon (Leaf Green, Sapphire, Emerald) I play...it freezes on me when i try to enter the Pokemon Centre or PokeMart in the first town that has them. So i barely get pass playing 10 minutes!!!

Anyone else have this problem?


This problem is really frustrating me and i would REALLY appreciate it if someone could tell me how to resolve this problem.

THANKS A BUNCH

Hmm.. I searched for your problem and got the following at versiontracker.com:

[quote]Definitely better than anything else available (except of course a real GBA). Some games simply do not work (Pokemon Advance, Yoshi's Island) and some only work with a real BIOS file (put loose in same folder as Boycott application). Right now enjoying Kirby Advance, Metroid, Castlevania II… [/quote]

Maybe that's related... And if you have an Intel mac then maybe you could try CrossOver/Darwine to see if a windows emulator works...

Did Boycott Advance help in any way, with the BIOS?

Well it got rid of the white screen so i could acutally play, the Boycott Advance, I mean. And as for the BIOS, all I really found different was the "Gameboy Advance" screen at the very beginning...I still froze trying to enter the pokemon center/pokemart.
