XBoyAdvance - GBA/GBC/GB/SGB/SGB2 Emulator for XBox.

User Guide:

- Emulates the Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Mono, SuperGameboy 1 and 2

- Excellent compatibility - ported from VisualBoy Advance v1.5.1

Various Important Notes:

============
Saving Games
============

This is a common pitfall with XBox emulators of consoles that use SRAM.
If you are playing, for example, Zelda, then when you have saved the game,
you must go back to the game select menu.

If you just turn off your XBox while you are still playing the game, then
your saves will not be written to the XBox hard drive and it will be like you
never saved your game.

=============
Configuration
=============

Almost everything can be changed from the configuration menu. Here are the
things that require manual modifications to the XBoyAdvance.INI file included in
the package:

Samba share name - goes in the [GENERAL] section. Example:

smbshare=SMB://USERNAME:PASSWORD@COMPUTERNAME/SHARENAME

Screenshot directory - default is E:\SCREENSHOTS - goes in [GENERAL] section
Example:

screenshot_dir=E:\SCREENSHOTS

Skin directory - where skins can be found. Default is D:\EMUSKINS - goes in
[GENERAL] section. Example:

skin_dir=D:\EMUSKINS

Save directory - this is where you want all your saved games to be stored.
Default is E:\SAVES\XBOYADVANCE. Goes in [GENERAL] section. Example:

save_dir=E:\SAVES\XBOYADVANCE

The default ROM directory INI setting goes in the [GENERAL] section as follows:

rom_dir=e:\games\gbaroms

If you change any of the above items, then you must upload the new XBoyAdvance.INI
file to your XBox, load up XBoyAdvance, then select "Force Reload D:\\*.ini
Settings" from the Configuration menu. Please note that this will overwrite
any of the setting changes you might have made after you first loaded
XBoyAdvance.

Controls:

===============
Menu Navigation
===============

Select menu options with the DPAD or with R/LTrigger. The speed of
R/LTrigger movements can be controlled by :

Configuration -> Menu Scroll Speed

There are some places where you can enter or change values. This
can usually be done in a variety of ways include DPAD Left/Right,
R/L Trigger, and L/R Thumb. Try all of them if the values are changing
too slowly.

"A" selects the highlighted choice. "B" cancels/returns.
"Y" from a file-select list will go up one directory.
