VS2008 runtime?? visual 2008?
installed DirectX Runtime Latest version only.

Then install the Visual Studio 2008 runtimes as well.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 installed,nope any change....

Just for kicks, back up the settings file and delete the original and let it generate a new one.

And I have zlib1.dll and libpng13.dll in my folder with vba-m, if that would make a difference.

tried,still not work.
   
what about "libpng13.dll"?

My best guess is it's still a DirectX runtime problem, because it can be confusing with all the different downloads for DirectX out there that you can download the wrong thing, but it could be any number of problems really.

I was install the DirectX End-User Runtime full download version.
May the VBA-M 753 Compatibility still not good.
what's the different between VBA-M - VBA?

VBA-M, where M is for Merged.

It has updated/more features than the standard VBA and is an attempt to merge all the splits of VBA for a feature complete product.

EDIT: Oh, this should be unrelated since DirectX can run in software, but would your graphics card have ANYTHING to do with it?
Also if it is truly directx related alone, could VBA-M run in OpenGL mode instead and work perhaps? I actually imagine not for some reason, but I had to throw it out there.

RE: gllt
Can't sure this,if use original VBA sources code type may not have this case. and if VBA-M requires OpenGL or a comprehensive graphic card work for it,it really Compatibility not good.
I just want try VBA-M whether improved sound and some graphics glitches that still with VBA1.80b3.

and anyone know whether Emulator possible play the [The Legend of Zelda - "Four Swords"?] through single PC Emulation in future?
I tried VBA link,but don't know how to link and work "Four Swords".

I'm not entirely sure exactly what you're asking for, so;

A. You want to emulate Zelda - Four Swords (Which I have in VBA and VBA-M)

B. or you have done that, and want to do it with Linking (As to actually play four swords, as it requires multiple players)

If you want to link, I think you might have better luck with no$GBA, not to promote other clients or anything, but I think it might have link support, as it does have the ability to launch "multiple copies/gameboys" so to speak. I faintly remember trying to play four swords like that..

But as I haven't fully explored VBA-M or used VBA link, perhaps waiting for someone else like a developer who knows everything about the project could enlighten you more.

Well the linking capabilities of vba-m is not really playing nice with the other changes we made to the actual release, and we are trying to fix it but it's not totally high on our list to work on (afaik).

RE: gllt
I want to play "Four Swords" through emulater; I haven't done that, and don't know how to be link and paly "Four Swords" from "VBA-Link".
I just heard the "VBA-Link" 1.72 is created for linking multi players games as "Four Swords". and it haven't more updates.

Well then, so either;

Wait for VBA-M to fix linking or
Try no$GBA

I guess thats it.
