i dont know much about GBA emulation, so the only advice i can give you is: why not just keep using 1.6? if it aint broke, dont fix it. if theres nothing wrong, why update?

I have noticed it too that Visualboyadvance 1.7.2 is worse than its predecessors(or whatevers) Try using VBA 1.7.1 it works fine ^^

--every gamer knows that every release or every update to a game.. the games gets better..

so does to an emulator.. as expected.. speed fixes.. yah knw..

but in Vba's case.. its the other way around..

a better thing to do might be to ask someone who tried the update/patch to see if it did anything for them(this person should have similar specs to you) (which is what i do). that way, you dont waste time

do you think dat the VBA admin would still have a better release?
--too bad.. id say its the best GBA emulator around.

- if so..

-3dfx Voodoo3 (overclocked 30%)
-192MB RAM
-1 pc 17.6GB HD - 20.0 GB hd

(out of the ordinary huh??)

I can run run Nemu.. almost flawlessly..
and VBA 1.6 and below w/ 0 frameskipping.. almost perfect!
-epsxe.. Ok Played and finished THPS series in it.. hahah.. used a PSX joypad on my PC

Yep, that explains the problem as I have a pc similar to yours.

Actually VBA1.7.0 is the best choice. 1.7.2's music flickers and 1.7.1 doesn't have Skip Intros (GBA) command :/ So all you use 1.7 :P
