Hello
I want to play gameboy advance games on my computer,so I downloaded vba express from the repos.

But alas,it is nothing like the Windows version of visualboy advance.
It doesn't have all the features like load/save,cheat etc.

How do I get a proper,full-featured gameboy advance emulator for Ubuntu that has all the features like load/save,cheat,full-screen etc?

Please help me.
I will be highly obliged for your help.

Have you tried wine yet ? If you want to install wine ,
Do in terminal :

sudo aptitude install wine

As far as i remember , VBA comes as a .zip/.rar package and not an installer , so u can just extract the files anywhere on your harddrive , say if u extracted it to /home folder , then you should be able to :

wine <VisualBoyAdvance or whatever the name is>.exe

And it shud run , Let me know if it doesnt work :)
