I'm currently working on Mission Impossible for the GBC, and in that game you can run by holding A and a direction button. You can also run diagonally by holding A + up/down + left/right. Now when I'm playing the game in real time, I can run diagonally just fine. However, when I'm in frame advance mode, I hold down A + down + right, and then press the frame advance button, and the character doesn't move at all. In fact, I can hold down the frame advance button (which simulates real time) and he still won't move. Is this just a game-specific problem or is it a problem with VBA itself?

Your keyboard might not be able to handle pressing that many keys at once. Try binding all the keys you want to use to one button and then pressing frame advance. (edit: I blame laughing_gas)

_________________________________________________ /\ /\ /\ /\ ONLY MAUR IS A LOSER your keyboard doesn't like that combinations of keypresses. try mapping some of them to CTRL or Shift and other non-character keys. also using a gamepad would fix that.

All right, binding two directions to the same key seems to work. Thanks for the responses.

I changed my directional buttons to: 
   Up = p
 Down = ;
 Left = l
Right = '
To be able to press multiple directionals and buttons at the same time.
