A Game Boy Micro allows you to play some of your favorite Nintendo games on a smaller scale. It is thinner and half the size of the Gameboy Advance and can fit into the palm of your hand. A Visual Boy Advance, or VBA, allows you play games from the Game Boy Micro on a computer over an Internet connection. The advantages of this emulator is you can play Nintendo games with up to four friends online as long as they too have a Game Boy, either a Micro or Advance, and the same game. You will need to purchase a wireless adapter for the Game Boy Micro in order to connect to a VBA. This can be purchased at electronic stores that sell Game Boy Micro products or online from Nintendo. Your computer will also need to have a wireless Internet connection so the two devices can communicate with each other.
