visual boy advance is dead. try http://vba-m.com/, which is MUCH better. VBA and VBA-m have also been free, VBA-m is open source. Plus do you know what a torrent is?

In case not, a torrent is a way of downloading from people who have already downloaded it.

It saves web-space for the host (because one just uploades it to a free website), and is very in-secure, because normally, one has no clue if the source is reliable, or legal.

NEVER download applications from one.

is VBA-m a torrent though? a torrent is a file that you download off of someone elses PC. therefor, opening up your PC up to anyone who wants to look and delete your files.

What? I use torrents occasionally, and that is not what they are. You download a Torrent program such as Utorrents, you download a torrent file, open up Utorrents, and load in the file and wait for it to download. You know the torrent file is trustworthy if it has a lot of seeds which means people liked it and seeded it or others to download. You have no idea what you are talking about.

no VBA-m is not a torrent its got NOTHING to do with a torrent, i think you are confused about what a torrent is.

you download stuff through a bitTorrent protocol. the stuff you download might contain a virus, which is possible if you download from a shady site.

i think you really should read up on what torrent is. :smile:

LOL I've noticed this thing since I was on YouTube. It has a built-in AVI recorder. I am elite with this thing!
