You're watching VisiHow. This is a tutorial on how to configure controls in the VisualBoyAdvance emulator.
Steps
1
To begin, open the VisualBoyAdvance emulator
.
In this video, there is an icon for the emulator on the desktop. You may have the program saved in another location.
2
When the emulator opens, click "Options" in the menu at the top of the window
.
3
In the menu, move the cursor to "Joypad"
.
4
Move the cursor to "Default Joypad"
.
5
Click "1" to play mostly single-player games
.
If you want to have an emulation of a Game Link Cable and become an extra player, you can click "2" (two players), "3" (three players), or "4" (four players).
6
Then, move the cursor to "Configure"
.
7
Since "Default Joypad" is set to the port "1", click "1..." under "Configure" too
.
A configuration window will appear in the window. The first control is "Up", which is set to the "Up Arrow" on the keyboard.
8
If you want the "Up" motion to be "W" on the keyboard, click the "Up" text box and press "W"
.
9
You can then click in the "Down" text box and change the control from "Down Arrow" to "S"
.
10
Click in the "Left" text box and change the control from "Left Arrow" to "A"
.
11
Then, click in the "Right" text box and change the control from "Right Arrow" to "D"
.
12
You can also set "Button A" to be "Left Arrow"
.
13
"Button B" can be set to "Down Arrow"
.
14
"Button L" can be set to "Q"
.
15
"Button R" can be set to "Up Arrow"
.
16
Let's leave "Select" as "Backspace" and "Start" as "Enter"
.
There is also a control for "Speed", which toggles the speed up. If you are playing a game that has a lot of text to scroll, you can press a button to speed up the scroll. Currently, the control is set to "Space".
17
The next option that you can set a key for is "Capture"
.
The control is currently set to "F12". If you press "F12" or your selected key during the game, you will save a screenshot, which will be saved to the default directory of the emulator.
18
Set these controls according to your preference and click on "OK" at the bottom of this window
.

Questions and Answers
How can I control the VisualBoyAdvance?
I don't know how to control it. When the game is starting, I can't go any further. It's like it freezes in the "New Game" part.
