To watch a .vbm-file, you need the game's ROM. Making ROM-requests is against the forum rules, so how you get your hands on the ROM is up to you. You could try dumping it yourself using a ROM reading device, not that I know how to get one of those...

And you need the modified VBA that can be found here.

For more precice info: 1) Download the VBA emulator from here: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2050&start=0 (or simply clicking here) 2) Execute the vba-rerecording.exe and open the correct ROM via File -> Open ROM (or with Ctrl+O) 3) After the ROM is loaded open the moviefile (.vbm) which you downloaded from TASvideos site via Tools -> Play -> Start Playing Movie. Now the movie is playing and you can watch it, but in case you want to start watching from a save state: 4) Before selecting the movie file (meaning before step 3.), activate the read-only mode from Tools -> Play -> Read-only mode (or with Shift+8). 5) Next load the movie file like in step 3. and after the movie has started playing load the save state you have via File -> Load Game -> Load from file. PS. I think these "how to play infos" should be found in the FAQ for each emulator so that every second newbie isn't asking here how to play them (though maybe a little clearer and shorter than what I have written here) ;)
Which run should I encode next? :)
