• High-level BIOS emulation. No BIOS file needed.
• IPS/UPS ROM patching
• OpenGL rendering backend, as well as normal rendering on devices without a GPU.
• Cool video filters through the support of GLSL shaders.

Ratings and reviews

THE BEST. I have used many emulators over the past 10+ years and My Boy! has been by my side since the beginning. It STILL gets updates, even after all these years. I find that it never bugs out on me, unlike other emulators. RetroArch may have more features, but the QUALITY of My Boy! and the low resources it uses are unmatched. People complaining about silly things like not being able to find files. MAYBE YOU SHOULD LOOK IN THE SETTINGS. There's an open folder button that does exactly that.

For some reason, ever since I updated the app, it keeps showing up as an app running in the background, when I run my background task killer app to free up RAM, even though I almost never use this app. It just starts running by itself for some reason. It was a good emulator all these years, but I think I'll uninstall it since I don't appreciate that it keeps opening itself in the background in my task manager.

Four-star simply because it's a cool tool... It's not perfect. I've switched four phones since I've had this emulator. My friend bought me this emulator for my birthday. I play pokémon games on it a lot. when transferring to a cell phone, it is a challenge to find files. my games are still in the saved spot where they were. in one cell phone it was saved in my photos....weird? The files wind up wherever it's convenient perhaps. It is better than all other emulators I've downloaded most.
