I finally wrote my first ever emulator (GameBoy)
There were multiple times where I got stuck with the CPU timings and the PPU. So I modified the Gearboy to print some extra info, like registers and timers, so I could compare with mine and figure out where it failed.

[PS3 RetroArch Community Edition] I cant get the Game Gear Cores working
Gearboy is a Game Boy emulator. Gearsystem should work, though. Picodrive works, too, I think.

So in 2022, what reasons, if any (even minor ones), are there to use VBA-M over mGBA?
I prefer Gearboy to Sameboy. It emulates the display flicker of a real Gameboy. Gave me a nostalgia kick.

Can't trade with self on gen2 via VBA-M
Sorry if this has been asked a million times already, but I can't figure out how to get trading to work on my laptop with the VBA-M. I looked at a bunch of videos, but those have only been VBA or gen3 and beyond. I found this link https://github.com/visualboyadvance-m/visualboyadvance-m/issues/604 where the exact issue I am having occurs.

golden sun 2 save file?
I always recommend mGBA these days, and it has "Partial support" for the link cable: https://mgba.io/faq.html . If not I know for a fact I got it working on VBA-m before: https://github.com/visualboyadvance-m/visualboyadvance-m/releases/tag/v2.1.5

Found a CIB pokemon fire red in a pawn shop in Boston for $175
Sure thing. MyBoy emulator actually supports link cable emulation between two instances of the emulator on two phones, and so do other gba emulators on PC, like vba-m: https://github.com/visualboyadvance-m/visualboyadvance-m

Help with visualboyadvance saves
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to reproduce your problem. I downloaded visualboyadvance-m-Win-64bit.zip, loaded Pokemon FireRed (with default settings), and was able to save with no issue.

How do I get rid of the red numbers? (visualboyadvance)
Well, there is still VBA-M (https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/VisualBoy_Advance#VBA-M, https://github.com/visualboyadvance-m/visualboyadvance-m ) which is a fork of VBA that is still seems to be maintained with recent commits (though last release appears to be back in 2019).

So in 2022, what reasons, if any (even minor ones), are there to use VBA-M over mGBA?
How long ago were you a developer though, out of curiosity? We're talking about an emulator with a repo updated as recently as seven hours ago, after all. It's not like it's unmaintained.
