Yet another Gizmondo related post. Critical is back once again, with a VisualBoyAdvance port. Here's Critical's instructions for it:
----------------------------------
GizVBA0.1.0

Category: Emulators
File Version: 0.1.0
File License: GNU Public Licence

Description:
Early release of VisualBoyAdvance port to Gizmondo. This emulates Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and Gameboy Advance.
GizVBA 0.1.0
---------------

Gizmondo port by critical of PocketVBA, a port of VisualBoyAdvance to PPC, which in turn is based on Snes9x.

It emulates Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and Gameboy Advance consoles.

PocketVBA is licensed under GNU Generic Public License(GPL), as is GizVBA.
Source is available on request to the contact address below.

The original licence files and documentation may be found in the doc directory of
the zip file that this readme file came in.



Contact: [email protected]

Installation
------------

Put GizVBA.exe in the root of your SD card, along with the included gx.dll
if you don't already have it.


Usage
-----

ROMs must be in a directory called:

GizVBA

in the root of your SD Card.


Buttons
-------

The joypad does what you'd expect. The other buttons are:

<< SELECT
[] START
|> B
>> A
L L
R R

During emulation, the home key followed by the stop key should quit it.
Up and Down on the joypad in the main menu select the ROM, |> starts

Unfortunately the currently-selected ROM name display is not updating at
present, so you'll have to pretend that it has, and count the number of
times you hit down on the pad to scroll through. Play will start the game.

TODO
----

Lots.
GB/GBC support sound, GBA doesn't.
Scaling needs doing quite soon too.
GBA performance isn't wonderful.
GBA sound has been disabled due to performing woefully.
------------------------------------------
Be looking forward to more Gizmondo related posts. There may eventually be enough to start its own section :P
