Using my first emulator


Recommended Posts

I was wondering if I could get help with playing the FE8 Randomizer. Ive just bought my first Windows computer last week and want to try emulation of the old Fire Emblem games I used to play. Ive already know the randomizer is Yune but I have a few questions:

What is the recommended emulator for GBA?

What is a recommended place to download a rom of FE8?

Thanks for your help!

I personally use mGBA and can recommend it, but many use emulators such as No$GBA or vGBA.

Because of legal reasons, we're not allowed to tell you that, but it shouldn't be too hard to find a decent place to get one. Just watch out for pop-up ads, 'cause there are a lot.

I strongly recommended vba (visual boy advance). My laptop is of... interesting quality and can run it no problem, save stats and speeding up and such are easy to use, and I was able to figure it out no problem. Video tutorials are always there if you can’t, though.

VBA is generally seen as the best option for Windows computers.

Sorry, it is against forum rules to both ask and answer that, so you are going to have to google that on your own. Although one small piece of advice, never open a file claiming to be a rom, let the emulator do that (and if it can't, get rid of it), and make sure you have some form of virus protection.

Note that answering the second question in TC's post is also grounds for a stiff warning.  I'm leaving it alone because asking which emulator to use is a valid question.

NEXT TIME, I expect to see tickets instead of multiple quotes.  That's why I'm not editing the first post.

Do not use the original (non-M) build of VBA. It has not been updated in over a decade and a half, and as a result, emulation of the GBA isn't good. VBA-M is a fork of the original VBA, but it is newer and more up to date.
