This page will help you find the necessary software needed to make your own Visualboy Advance skins!
Some of the software is not free, but they have demo's which you can use to make the skins and decide whether you want to buy the software or not! Or you can even look for freeware alternatives, (if you have any freeware alternatives then please let us know!).
