After looking up how to get the Classic NES/Famicom Mini series to work, I was reminded of that permanent beta, VisualBoyAdvance 1.80
I realize why the community has preferred the stable 1.72 to branch from, but I wonder whether any of the improvements in VBA-M (based on the 1.80 beta) will appear in VBA-rr, like the ability to use both GBA and SGB BIOSes, and whatever Forgotten did to allow 1.80 to run the Classic NES/Famicom Mini series.
On the other hand, I didn't appreciate that the Windows version of VBA-M required the latest DirectX Runtime just to load, even without the latest filters; in case anyone here is curious about VBA-M, the project page is here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vbam/files/
the backup is here:

and the website is here:

I know Nach is on the VBA-M team, so maybe he can tell us about any intended or possible cross-pollination.
