The default configuration file has been installed as /usr/local/bin/VisualBoyAdvance.cfg-default. Please copy it to /usr/local/bin/VisualBoyAdvance.cfg before you start the emulator. If all you see after loading a ROM is a black screen and/or VisualBoy Advance crashes, try switching the video filter. Either change it in the global config file or use the -f switch.
