Visual­Boy Advance is one of the top notch Game­Boy Advance emu­la­tors, but has fallen behind due to it’s lack of upda­tes since the year of 2005.  It has been able to play some com­mer­cial games and is sim­ple to use and play with on the PC.  An addi­tio­nal plus about the Game­Boy emu­la­tor is that Visual­Boy Advance requi­res very little com­pu­ter power.  The current addi­tion can run smoothly on pro­ces­sors under 1GHz of power.
