Troubleshooting
If vba emulator is running too fast, make sure that the Synchronize.. option is checked on the Options->Emulator menu and that Sound is on. If sound is off, there will be no synchronization and the emulator will run at maximum speed. This should change in the future.
If it is running to slow to make emulator work faster:
- increase frame skip
- increase the emulator priority
- use a lower sound quality
- don't user filters
- use 1x mode or full screen mode
- disable SFX
- enable the Use Video Memory setting
- try the SDL version
