So I got Bizhawk as it is the recommended for GBA. But I got no clue how to add the firmware and the search didn't turn up anything. I did try to save it as a file in the older but it just give me this error "System.ArgumentException: BIOS file is not exactly 16K! bei BizHawk.Emulation.Cores.Nintendo.GBA.VBANext..ctor(Byte[] file, CreComm comm, GameInfo game, Boolean deterministic. Object syncsettings)" I got the has from here http://tasvideos.org/Bizhawk/Firmwares.html

Hey there! To play GBA games on BizHawk, you need the GameBoy Advance BIOS file. It's copyrighted, so I can't link it here, but a quick google search should turn up what you need. Once you have the file, you can put it in the /bizhawk/firmware directory, and the emulator should recognize it. http://tasvideos.org/Bizhawk/Firmwares.html does not contain the actual firmware files, by the way, but only information about the filename and the SHA-1, which is a code used to verify your file is correct. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Yes thanks a lot. I can't believe I didn't think of that. Works like a charm now.
