Please remember that GBA games are not meant to be played in high resolutions. It's normal for them to suck.

yea thats true but it worked befor....is there anythin at all i could do to try to make it better?

Use Direct3D or OpenGL output instead DirectDraw or GDI:
"Options" -> "Video" -> "Render Method"
then use some of available filters from these APIs:
"Options" -> "Video" -> "Render Method" -> "D3D" options for Direct3D, "GL" options for OpenGL

You might use DirectDraw render with the filters enabled too. I'd try everything until you find what you prefer:
"Options" -> "Filter"

Could you post a screenshot? That might help us help you.

Some games are just plain shit on the gba/VBA (ie Medal Of Honor Underground). And nothing can be done to improve them.

You'll need to host your pic HERE and then put the link between IMG tags, like this:

Please don't TRIPLE post!, make a single post if you want to say multiple things.

It looks ok to me, it is normal if GBA games look pixelly when you play them at 2x or higher.

I think I know what seems to be the problem. Check you are using DirectDraw as your rendering method and not Direct3D or OpenGL.

To do so, go to Options --> Video --> Render Method and check if DirectDraw is enabled.
