Even so, VBA-M has yet to implement two main features: link support (available with VBA-Link) and eReader support (available with VBA e-Reader). It is now in active development, with releases as recent as November 2009. This aimed to bring order to the multiplicity of releases, and was a great success. Soon, a version of VBA emerged called VBA-M. Although the different versions were an improvement, more focus was needed in order to put all the different improvements from different developers in one piece of software. Many independent developers continued to improve the emulator, but they had no form of unison in order to release the emulator in one place. After version 1.8 beta 3 in 2004, development of VBA stopped. However, after the first release, development of the emulator was handed over to the VBA team. VisualBoyAdvance was started in 2004 by Forgotten. Visual Boy Advance (sometimes formatted as VisualBoyAdvance, and often abbreviated to VBA) is a Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance emulator for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, Linux, BeOS, and many other operating systems. VBA is often used to take screenshots of games for websites such as this for Pokémon FireRed.
