Hi /vr/,

I'm just wondering what the best emulator for GameBoy is? I want to play through all the Zelda games, but more specifically Alttp, Minish cap, Oracle of ages/seasons.

I'm just looking for one that wont crash and has good support for those games listed.

Gambatte for Game Boy/Color, VBA-M for Advance

anyway, VBA

>> No.666545

Alttp is better on SNES, why would you want to play it on Gameboy (advance)?

>> No.666575

Gambatte and VBA-M

This.

Also, play the SNES version of ALttP. The GBA version has inferior graphics and sound.

The Advance version has a better save system, you can start from the beginning of dungeons

babby casual mode.

You can do that in the SNES version, if I recall correctly.

Thanks for the advice everyone! Much appreciated.

I forgot that I'm on /vr/ where pointless artificial difficulty is praised.

you mean save system designed for portable on-the-go playing.
No dungeons in ALttP are really hard to navigate to once you've found the entrance

>>666593

then Link's Awakening is a babby game because that's exactly the same thing it does.

Stay here please

It wasn't shit. If you couldn't manage it then you really do suck at Zelda. aLttP was easy.

>> No.666643 [DELETED] 

>>666625
You start back at the entrance to the dungeon in the SNES version, the GBA version just adds more overworld checkpoints. Also, being able to save anywhere at any time is the worst type of save system for anything other than RPGs, because it destroys all pacing and challenge.

Kill yourself.

You're playing on an emulator anyway, just use save states and continue being an idiot.

>> No.666885

If you have any further inquiries about emulation of any kind, I recommend checking out the emulation general on /vg/.
