I'm using Mac OS X version 10.4.8 The processor is a 1.25 Gigahertz PowerPC G4. The memory is 768 MB DDR SDRAM. When I open up the ROM "Pokemon Red (U) [S] [!].gb with Visual Boy Advance 1.7.2 or 1.7.4, a small black window comes up. It flashes white, goes black, doubles in size and crashes. The error message says: The application Visual Boy advance quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more details or send a report to Apple. I've given you about as much info as I can. I did not download any earlier versions of VBA before getting 1.7.2 and 1.7.4[/b]

Somehow, VBA rerecording is notorious for Windows dependence. VBA rerecording v19 doesn't work on Linux (except Wine) so it will probably have problems on a Mac. It seems that you tried using the official version. The official version has no GB/GBC support. Wait until nitsuja has a say in this.

The forums for the official version are here, maybe someone there will have a better idea of what's wrong. But there's no rerecording VBA for that OS and I've no idea how to compile even the official version for it.

It doesn't? I believe it's had GB/SGB/GBC support since version 0.4.

I thought that before someone said "nitsuja implemented backward-compatibility in VBA" so I thought it wouldn't be in the official version. However, since you have the knowledge about these emulators, I must be wrong.
