I've been using this since it became RetroAchievements compatible, and this emulator works wonderfully as it is. Absolutely amazing emulator, highly reccomend! My only complaint is the lack of tilt controlls, but given that that's on the roadmap for this app, I'm willing to wait however long it takes to play games like "WarioWare: Twisted!" the way it was meant to be played!

Highly underrated GBA emulator and perhaps one of the best and I've tried a LOT of GBA emulators. Has all of the must-have features like fast-forward, quicksaves, and control customization. Must-try!

Good of a GBA emulator, I really like it. but the only feature it's missing is style. Like the skins and stuff. it runs GBA pretty well and overall is good. Hopefully you can improve on this!
