The keyboard is designed as your controller. But if you want one that isn't any problem. The default controls are A, S, Z, X, up, down, left, right, enter, and C.

I have a game controller but I don't use it for my GBA roms but I do use it for my SNES roms. I don't really know why I don't use it for GBA tho.

I use a Cheap, Generic USB Gamepad to work with Visual Boy Advance in Mac OS X, Linux PPC, and in Linux i386. The gamepad costs roughly US $2.10 here in Philippines. It was originally intended for Only Windows...

Just using the keyboard is easy enough since there are only 4 buttons and 4 direction keys to use. It's not hard to figure out which GBA button corresponds to which keyboard button.

I most definitely use a controller. :) As soon as I started using it, everything got easier.

Why would you not use a controller for any game. Come on, it's just natural to use one.

I do. It is easier-and more fun to control the characters then using the keyboard. (All the keys are close together-like a normal gameboy)

i agree and when i play on full sceeen it feels like im plaing my gba games on my gamecube

i don't use a controller 'cause i don't have one... >.< anybody got some advice for a good one ?

frys has some nice joysticks and controllers
