For those of you that want to play Gameboy Advance on your macs, here is how you do it:
1. download VisualBoyAdvance from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/vba/VisualBoyAdvance-1.7.2-MacOSX.dmg.gz
2. Download Gameboy Advance ROMs from:
http://www.dohgames.com/roms/misc/gba/1
http://romhustler.net/roms/gba
http://www.dgemu.com/gba.html

i don't think you can use an Xbox 360 controller with VBA, but I'll test it out later tonight.

let me know if you have any questions.

Also, I figure most people will want Super Mario because it's probably the greatest Gameboy game, so I've uploaded the near-perfect version that I've been using for a while:

I got my Xbox 360 controller working. When it says you have to calibrate, you actually have to or it won't work. Just click the calibrate button and press every button on the controller and move every joystick, then you can go ahead and click Up, move the joystick up, click Down, move the joystick down, etc.
Also, you can only change these settings if you don't have a game (ROM) open.

here's a video of how to do it: http://www.tinypic.com/player.php?v=1zz2lip&s=5
