Higan GBA is an open source program for Windows designed to help users run console games on a desktop computer. The utility serves as a multi-system emulation environment. There is an option to select a particular model and load image files.
Configuration and launch
The software solution features support for a considerable number of gaming systems, including SNES, Game Boy Advance, Mega CD, Neo Geo Pocket Color, and others. You can also create separate profiles for each individual device.
Moreover, it is possible to pick preferred audio and video drivers, as well as tweak graphics parameters. The tool provides the option to launch games in both a separate window and full screen mode. Keyboard controls and third-party input controllers are supported.
Performance
One of the many advantages of using this program is saving emulator states. This ensures that you will not lose your game progress. In addition, you have the ability to load the last save at any time, and continue playing exactly where you left off.
