roxfox64 is right.
And you can download the file by going to google and typing in GBA_BIOS.BIN and the first one should be filefront. Go there and you can download it in like 2 seconds.

Installation is very, very simple.
Put the game in the GAME folder.
Get the GBA_BIOS.BIN and put it in the same folder as the EBOOT.PBP file.
Put the .GBA roms in the folder named ROMS. If there's no folder named ROMS, put the .GBA ROM's in the same folder as the GBA_BIOS.BIN and EBOOT.PBP files.
Run it. Select your ROM. Play.
That easy.

You get a flash cart, and in the options menu of the CD choose Dump Bios menu.

Oh, there's a cord that you hook up to your computer that hooks up to your GBA and just reads everything off the GBA system and dumps it.
Kinda like how the ROM dumpers work.
