I told my friend to post his problem, he refuse. So I'm posting this for him. He is interested in making TAS for NES and GB, he does TAS fine on FCEU. He could hold down frame advance button to continuous advancing frames, but not VBA, it just goes by 1 frame and stop. I tried to sent him VBA version 14 and VBA version 19.3, and my vba config file. He said it still doesn't work. He is running on Win XP sp2, I told him I have no idea what's wrong. Any of you guys know something that he overlooked?

It depends on the system's key repeat rate, like any other command in a Windows program. Maybe he has the key repeat delay set very high or is using a key that Windows doesn't generate key repeat events for. FCEU doesn't use commands for the frame advance key, it does its own ad-hoc repeat detection, but Snes9x and VBA both treat it as a command.

Frame advance in VBA never causes a repeat... and I have no idea why anyone would want frame advance to repeat... if you want that, just put it on a non-paused, slow speed.

It's actually a very sought-after property. VBA continuous frame advances for me.
