If you're nostalgic about your GameBoy or Gameboy Advance then VisualBoyAdvance could be the program for you.
VisualBoyAdvance, also known as Mac Boy Advance, emulates all the games of the popular portable Nintendo consoles. VisualBoyAdvance supports 148Kb Flash and the application of automatic IP patches. This GBA emulator is written specifically for OS X and according to the developers, has a higher compatibility than Boycott Advance.
However, expect some bugs while using it. Recent updates to OS X seem to have made it liable to crashes or a tendency to display screens incorrectly or not at all. However, depending on the game you want to play, it may be the only emulator that runs it for you. However, it does work with Intel Macs running Lion.
VisualBoyAdvance isn't perfect but is a must for all hardcore fans of GameBoy games.

It's good but here's the problems.
Short story:
- use mac zooming
- get windows/parallels + vba.exe for cheat use.
- the cons are stupid, ignore them.
Long story:
- Zoom: Mac users need to use control+scroll up.
- Cheat UI: retarded to say the least. If you intend to use cheats (for example pkmn, who has the most downloaded titles, and you'll want cheats for that), don't even think about wasting your time here.
Find yourself Parallels & Windows7 and download the Windows VBA.
Other than that it seems to work fine.
- Turbo appears (to me) quicker than Windows'.
- Super clarity, not bad quality on zoom.
- Does the job. If you're not using cheats it's good. You won't need to put up with Windows' senseless UI to use the .exe vba version.
About Cons above,
- I think the thing about save-states might be right, but then again I never tried/noticed it. Save states should only be last resort anyway.
- I don't know of any fullscreen..?
- Save batteries are in the Battery Saves folder of the VBA folder.... They should work fine if you don't move or delete them...
Anyway sorry if tl;dr.
