A: This error message comes up in games that use 128k Flash chips. The default setting in VisualBoy Advance is to emulate a 64k Flash chip. To fix this, go to Options > Emulator > Save Type, and select "Flash 128k." Be sure to delete any .SAV files for the game before doing this. Otherwise it will continue trying to use the corrupted save file. Q6: HELP! I can't play Emulators on my mac :( A: Make sure you Have A Mac With AN INTEL PROCESSOR, Build-in, if don't you have one.
