About this app

Your games. Your controls. Your Pocketglass.

Pocketglass brings Game Boy Advance, Game Boy and Game Boy Color emulation to Android, with a personal game library, customizable controls and a choice of handheld-inspired skins.

Bring your own compatible game files, arrange your controls and pick up where you left off. No games are included or downloaded.

MAKE IT YOURS
Choose classic, transparent, purple, metallic or electronic-inspired controller skins, with designs for portrait and landscape play. Drag touch buttons into comfortable positions and add shortcuts for the actions you use most.

KEEP YOUR PROGRESS CLOSE
Use automatic in-game battery saves and, for Game Boy Advance games, save-state slots with thumbnail previews. Open the quick menu to save or load, or add a shortcut to your touch layout. Rewind lets you revisit a recent moment in supported play modes.

PLAY WITH TOUCH OR A CONTROLLER
Map compatible Bluetooth and USB gamepads to your preferred buttons. Add fast-forward, save, load and recording shortcuts. Dedicated 2x and 4x fast-forward toggles let you switch speed with a tap; achievable speed depends on your device and the game.

CAPTURE A MOMENT
Take screenshots or record gameplay with game audio. Choose recording resolution and file quality, with MP4 H.264 and hardware-supported HEVC options. Available recording settings depend on your device. Gameplay recordings leave out the touch controls and banner ads.

CHOOSE YOUR LOOK
Play with the original pixel presentation or explore the available display filters and color settings. Optional enhanced graphics modes offer different ways to present the game; appearance and performance vary by game and device.

YOUR LIBRARY, TOGETHER
Browse your imported games, revisit recent sessions and see your play statistics. Open compatible files through Android's file picker. No Pocketglass account is required.

ADS AND OPTIONAL PREMIUM
The free version includes banner ads. An optional one-time Premium purchase removes ads and unlocks enhanced graphics. Purchase availability and pricing are shown in the app through Google Play.

BEFORE YOU START
Pocketglass is an emulator, not a collection of games. It includes no games or console BIOS files, does not download games and provides no links to game downloads. Supply compatible homebrew or other game files you have the right to use. Features and compatibility vary by system and title.

Pocketglass is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Nintendo. Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance are trademarks of Nintendo and are mentioned only to describe compatibility.
