Don't go into Fullscreen...

Well yeah, that's obvious, but it won't let me deactivate the fullscreen. If I open the app it automatically open in Fullscreen without giving me the option to change the size of the window. I already tried uninstalling that app and re installing and the same happens.

Pokemon Mac Boy Advance crash

In Preferences, set the video size to 4x, then press Esc to switch between windowed and fullscreen.

Hey you seem to know your stuff - I tried to set the screen size up, but when I did I also pressed the full screen box, which seems to have put a serious monkey wrench in the projects. I set it to x4 and full screen and now every time i open the program it quits. Any suggestions as to how to save me from this?

Really hope you can help,

Sorry, I don't know. I haven't used it since last year and don't remember running into that problem.

Are you perhaps using a retina macbook? I fixed it by checking the option 'Open in low resolution' (Select VisualBoyAdvance in Finder and then Get Info)

Hi there! Popped in to ask a question.

How do you use cheats? I use the ones I've found on various sites, and Mac Boy Advance rejects every single one.
