Boycott Advance overview

Boycott Advance is designed to run homebrew Gameboy Advance software, and to that end, it works well. It is also compatible with some commercial games, although this support is far from perfect. There are no plans to spend any more effort on compatibility until the Gameboy Advance is no longer on commercial sale.

What’s new in version 0.4.4

  • Highly optimized CPU emulation that can attain full speed on all supported Macs.
  • Full support for all GBA video features, including scaling and rotation.
  • Partial support for the GBA DirectSound channels and Gameboy PSG.

Many games work perfectly (as far as I can tell) but many games do not. I have suffered glitches and strange graphical craziness in the following games: Castlevania AoS (Large creature models with multiple moving parts don't work properly causing disjointed shapes to move strangely about the screen. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (second level is totally glitches out) Super Mario Advanced (the slot machine bonus doesn't have any pictures.) If anyone else suffers from the same glitches I would love to know I am not the only one. But I am going to have to say to proceed with caution. I was probably 5 hours into Castlevania before I discovered the glitches. Now I am afraid to commit to any game.

If you already read my lastest review on Visualboy Advance, you probably know what I am going to say, if not, here it is: Boycott Advance is great! It has loads of features (with Emulator Enhancer installed), and it can emulate Metroid Zero Mission and Fusion and Spider Man Mysterio's Menace so good, it actually feels like you're playing them on the real Gameboy Advance. Visualboy Advance and Boycott Advance together, you can emulate ANY! GBA ROM.

I have finally put my GBA emulator problems to rest once and for all. Visualboy Advance is good, but it just doesn't suit my requirements for a good, realistic emulator; (saying that took some guts). I've read numerous reviews about Visualboy Advance and how loads of people have had numerous saving problems, so I have trashed Visualboy Advance, all of the backups I made, and the .dmg installer files and have finally made the final GBA emulator transition to Boycott Advance. In English: VISUALBOY ADVANCE DOESN'T SUIT MY EMULATOR NEEDS, BOYCOTT ADVANCE DOES. Email me at spyrokid@dejazzd.com if you want more info on why I have chosen Boycott Advance over Visualboy Advance.
