  3. 3
    Run Visual Boy Advance. This is a .exe type file. If it asks to always pop up the Window, uncheck "Don't ask me Again".
  4. 4
    Go to File>Open Gameboy. Then chose the ROM (Emerald). It will start playing! You may want to go to Options>JoyPad>Configure>1 to understand the Different controls.
  5. 5
    Now it will say "Internal Battery has run 'Dry', the game can be played," To fix that, go to Options>Emulator>Real-Time Clock and click the R-Time Clock. Now close and repeat steps 3 & 4.
  6. 6
    To add cheats, go to Cheats>Cheatlist and go to Gameshark, CodeBreaker or any other Option and Do what it says. Meaning put the code in the 'Code Here' Section and put the name of the Code in the 'Description'. To get codes, go to https://youtube.com and look up "Cheat codes for Emerald game shark".
  7. 7
    Cheats automatically are enabled once entered in. As in common sense, just unclick the box to disable the Code. This is a great way to capture all Pokémon, JUST CHEAT.
