Tantric (http://code.google.com/p/vba-wii/) has released a new version of the Game Boy Advance emulator for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo Gamecube, heres whats new:


[What's New 1.0.0]

Now compiles with devkitpro r15
One makefile to make all versions
Complete rewrite based on code from SNES9x GX
Now has a menu! ROM selector, preferences, controller mapping, etc
Wiimote, Nunchuk, and Classic controller support
Button mapping for all controller types
Full support for SD and USB
Load/save preference selector. ROMs, saves, and preferences are saved/loaded according to these
'Auto' settings for save/load - attempts to automatically determine your load/save device(s) - SD, USB
Preferences are loaded and saved in XML format. You can open VBAGX.xml edit all settings, including some not available within the program

Features
Wiimote, Nunchuk, Classic, and Gamecube controller support
Custom controller configurations
SD / USB support
SRAM & State saving
MEM2 ROM Storage for fast access
Auto frame skip for those core heavy games
Notes from the Developer
ZIP/DVD/SMB/GameCube Memory Card support are NOT implemented yet. The current build does NOT have adjustable frameskip. Frameskipping is set to 'AUTO' and cannot be changed. While speed is generally near perfect, sound tends to rebuffer as a result of frameskipping, so in-game music may suffer as a result, sounding like a CD-skipping. This does not occur with Gameboy Color games or original Gameboy games, which do not use the frameskip function.

Installation
If you are using the Homebrew Channel just copy the apps directory from the archive to the root of your SD card. If you are using another loader use the executables/vbagx_wii.dol.
ROMs & saves files should be stored in vbagx/roms and vbagx/saves on the root of your SD card or USB flash drive. You can copy the vbagx directory from the archive to your support drive. Your ROMs must be in ".gba" format.
Launch the emulator using your Loader.

for me personally I loaded gunstar super heroes (which I already own on the gba itself) and the game had terrible frame rate making it pretty well unplayable. so its either a bad rom, an rom the bugs arnt worked out with, or the emulator is still in the "keep waiting for good version" process.

I tried it and it's wayyyyyyy too slow.

I tried with Final fantasy 1 and 2..... castlevania aria of sorrow and advanced guadian heroes and they're all unplayable imo.

Keep the previous version I say.

While the emulator runs mostly perfectly with the HBC I can't figure how to save.Now matter what,it doesn't let me save.
And yes,in my SD card I arranfe the files apps-VBAGX-saves.
Maybe,there is an option to the preferences menu that needs to be activated.(Yes,I don't have a GC memory card connected to Wii)
Can anyone help me?
