Dragon Warrior Not Working

#1
So I tried to play Dragon Warrior I & II, Dragon Warrior Monsters, Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 Cobi's Adventure on my Visual Boy Advance emulator for the mac and the VBA quits on me before I even start to play the games. The furthest I got in any of them was DW I and the application quit after the opening cutscene finished. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

What version of VBA?

I believe it's version 1.7.4 for the mac.

Hmm. Does it automatically just quit the emulator process or?

For Dragon Warrior I & II it quits after the opening cutscenes to either game.
For Dragon Warrior Monsters it quits immediately.
For Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 Cobi's Adventure it quits after selecting new game.

Just in case, follow the instructions in this thread:
https://www.romulation.org/forum/index.php?topic=6326.0It basically puts a good GBA bios in your VBA files, and makes your VBA use it. Maybe these Dragon Warrior ROMs need a good GBA bios to work correctly?This will make VBA run better, and does not cause any problems with any other games, just fixes problems.

Didn't work, but maybe the files I got aren't compatible with the mac version....

Make sure to delete the .sav files after doing the BIOS upgrade with VBA.

I tried that and no change. Actually these are all GBC games and I don't thing the GBA bios I got is compatible with the mac version of VBA.
