Ratings and reviews

This was my go-to emulator for a long time, to the point where I believed removing ads was worth it. Unfortunately, it has become outdated for newer Pokemon Emerald rom hacks, which often don't support this emulator anymore. I only use it for GBC games now, with another app being used for GBA. However, if you are planning to play unmodded games, I'm sure your experience will be more positive.

Works well enough, but don't expect to keep a save on any long playthroughs. At multiple times in the last few months, with no rhyme, reason, or warning, the library just appeared empty and the app wouldn't recognize any GBC or GBA files. I still have my save states, but the app just no longer recognizes the games. Usually a quick re-install "fixes" things, but not this time. I ought to give this app 1 star cuz it just doesn't work, but I'll settle for 2 since it sometimes actually works right

A perfectly average GBA emulator. The ads, while not intrusive while playing, are very frequent. The whole app feels a bit clunky and could benefit from a fair bit more options to change. When I first used it, I had one audio channel only in my left ear, and there wasn't any way for me to switch between mono and stereo audio. Overall, this is a perfectly serviceable emulator. It does what it needs to do, but if you have access to a PC, there are much better emulators out there.
