How to Record Video in Visual Boy Advance

The free Visual Boy Advance emulator enables you to play Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games on your computer. The emulator lets you take screenshots or record videos of the games, which is not possible on the real hardware. You can use these recorded videos to create guides for games, which is easier and clearer for your viewers to follow than a text-only guide. You can also use it to record videos of free public domain games and demos that are created for the emulator by hobbyist coders.
