I'm getting a black screen of doom when I load on VBA or GBA, and the size of the rom is tiny, like 8.5 mb, I made the rom, and named it SegaGamegear1.gba and it won't work. anybody know what I'm not doing right, or for that matter, am I just not doing something at all? the error I get on visualboy advance is this: "Unsupported BIOS function 0d called from 0200409c. A BIOS file is needed in order to get the correct behaviour."

me: ????

That's normal in the emulators, actually. In my experience, they work well enough anyway, but you might want to take the dialog's advice and use a GBA BIOS dump. PHWiki has an article with instructions on how to dump your GBA's BIOS (The BIOS is copyrighted by Nintendo and illegal to distribute online)
