Hi! You're watching VisiHow. This is a tutorial on how to set up the frame skip in the VisualBoyAdvance Emulator.

1. 1
   The first thing we need to do is open up the emulator itself

   .

2. 2
   In this case we have it on the desktop

   .

   Then we need to open up any of the games.

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
3. 3
   We have Pokemon on the desktop, so we're going to load this up

   .

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
4. 4
   As you can see, the game has been loaded

   .

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
5. 5
   To change the frameskip options, we have to press "Options"

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
6. 6
   And then "Frame skip."

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
7. 7
   From there, you need to select the option

   :

   from 0 up to 9.

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
8. 8
   You can also set it to "Automatic."

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
9. 9
   As you can see the frames have been reduced, because we have set it to Automatic

   .

   

   Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
10. 10
    It's skipping the performance of the computer into account

    .

    Now we're going to remove it and then go to 9 frames per second.

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
11. 11
    You see it's choppy, because it's skipping nine frames out of twenty

    .

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
12. 12
    So you're getting eleven frames per second

    .

    If you set it to 0, you will skip no frames, but it will be much slower. This also depends on the game you are playing.

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
13. 13
    For example, there are several games that need to have the frames set to 0 to make it look much better

    .

    And there are games that you have to set to 1, for example, the Castlevania games are best played with frame skips at 1.

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
14. 14
    This game - Pokemon is best played with 2

    .

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
15. 15
    Another option is the "Throttle." In this case we have "No Throttle."

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
16. 16
    But if we set it to 200%, you will notice that the game is much faster, but the sound is choppy

    .

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
17. 17
    So you have to set all the settings according to your preference and bear in mind that every game will have its own settings here

    .
