Links to ROMs and BIOS files are typically left to the user to find on their own. Its not too difficult with some search engine work. Good luck!

OK :) thanks
I have to upload the bios file to the roms folder? Or there is some specific folder to do the upload?

There is a separate BIOS folder in the same directory where the ROMs folder is found. That is where the BIOS file should go. I believe some systems require BIOS files to be placed in both the BIOS and ROMs folder, but I don't think GBA is one of them.

Can you tell me the right path to that folder? Or the name of the folder inside de ROM folder, because my room folder doesn't have any other folder inside :( tried to put the bios file directly on Gba room folder and it didn't worked :(

Retropie/bios

Just drop it there. If the game is choppy after that remove it and add it again.

I meant remove the game from after you drop the bios file if the game is still choppy. That's the steps I followed when I troubleshot Minish Cap.

Hm, I still get much worse sound quality (due to slowness?) in lr-mgba vs lr-gpsp (tested minish cap and metroid fusion). Bios file is in place. Is there anything else I need to consider?
