The UI is buggy. In game menu pops up offscreen. Please fix.

Great emulator, works especially well side-loaded onto Android Wear, including audio, layout editor, all options, and (almost) full comparability. I just wish it played Legendary Super Warriors (I only get a white screen on phone and watch; apparently this problem has existed in this emulator since 2013 so don't expect a fix)

To be completely honest, this is the best Emulator for Game-Boy games out there. What would be great is if they kept the format, (The way in which you add cheats and find the games) and made a DS Emulator.

Rob Poke

Brilliant app, played over 100 hours on it so far and no issues! Only downside there's no way to simulate a link between 2 emulators for trading pokemon between friends. Would make a great addition hint hint ;)

The emulator is fantastic except that it doesn't have the ability to link between states. This is the biggest letdown, and a pretty big one, unfortunately.

Joseph Baker

Almost Perfect except for unnecesary menu button in the top right corner. Ruins immersion nd shouldnt be there to begin with. Add an option to remove it

Best emulator out there

Erik Gabriel March 28, 2017

The emulator is perfect, except for one glaring issue... For some reason, Pokemon games, their music is all half a step lower than the original music. I compared back and forth with YouTube videos of the opening themes and it's ruining the games for me. I'd love an explanation. Thanks!

Plays Pokémon roms with ease. Paid version is so worth it.

great job for gbce

The Adventures of March 3, 2017

Great emu. Cant fault it.. although would be a nice look to have a thumbnail for each game you downloaded in the list..

Chris Walters January 27, 2017

Great app I bought all of his emulators and have not regretted it for a minute.

Musical Chel January 15, 2017

Would be 5 if... I love this emulator. I have had it for years. BUT! I can't trade Pokemon on here. That makes me want to switch to myboy alone. If this emulator could trade Pokemon I will be ecstatic! If there IS a way to do this for this emulator than I would love to know because I can't find it anywhere. Thank you!

Game genie doesn't work

Blaine Jeffries December 27, 2016

Top emulator Look no further for an app that can play all your favorite gbc titles with lots of great features!

Brooks Braden January 7, 2017

This is the one to use guys Simply better than the other emus

Angelo Trujillo December 24, 2016

Works fantastically!! Does exactly what it's supposed to do, make me relive my nerdish childhood. Flawless and updated frequently even though it already runs perfect. Still great!!!

December 24, 2016

Most recent update I updated the app this afternoon. now all my roms will not load and the app crashes.

Kevin Davis December 26, 2016

Nice This one is also great good job John emulators

Meg Edey December 19, 2016

Great but very annoying glitch This is a grate emulator but when you are play a android device like GPD XD or something like that you have to have the virtual dpad on screen so please fix same for all emus that jhone dose

Brett McAleese December 14, 2016

nice emulator but when playing adventure island there is a scrolling glitch in level one

James Livan December 8, 2016

Gb fun Very good gb app. Only issue is sometimes the controls can be a bit unresponsive.

Cullen Simmons November 24, 2016

Best emulator Had it for a long time. Plays any game I throw at it. Nice, simple and easy to change settings etc. Great app

Jose Abundes October 30, 2016

It's ok Issue is I can't hit the dpad corners

Jimmy Hadden October 14, 2016

Doesn't work around SD card restrictions Loved this app, but super disappointed that it can't read or write saves to my SD card. There are tons of apps that work around the restrictions - check out Autosync Google Drive for a pretty good explanation.

Anthony Nicolson October 10, 2016

Edit box When I press and hold the screen the pop up box to edit or delete is almost completely hidden at the bottom of the screen making it impossible to edit or delete anything....

Danny Reay September 12, 2016

Can't find it at all. Works great but played it beat it and now just want to play around and cheat like mad. But can't find cheat menu. It's just not there at all. Not in settings or anything. So going to give it one last try then cut this as a loss of 2 pound and back to my pc games.

A Google User October 13, 2016

Very stable I've tried a lot of emulators but this one is the most stable out of the bunch. Incredibly simple to use auto detects rom files no problem only nitpick is that I can't delete the load state button. Very frustrating to tap that by accident and lose a couple hours of playtime

Matthew Rollett August 30, 2016

Great! Fantastic app! Used it so much to relive my childhood on my Gameboy colour! Only problem I have been having is all my games seems to disappear every once in a while...

September 27, 2016

Great ...no It.s an awesome emulator. Works fine and all for 10-20 minutes. But then keeps saying it.s not licensed and have to reinstall

M Hendo August 28, 2016

Great! Used the free version for over a year with no issues. Thought it was time to support the app and get rid of the adverts. Fantastic app! Price is very cheap too! Thanks John!

Thokdok October 6, 2016

Great emulator Only one minor issue: the stereo audio gets a little off sometimes when i load a state save.

Spencer Beaumont October 3, 2016

Best Gameboy Emulator I love the interface and all the options, but I have a couple requests. First, which I'm sure you get a lot, is link cable emulation (over network and NFC would be cool if it's even possible to do it that way). The second suggestion I'd have is to integrate Chromecast (or Google Cast if you'd prefer), so I wouldn't have to cast my whole screen to the TV. Other than that, it's great!

Josh Hunt August 26, 2016

Super Gameboy mode is incredible! Best Gameboy emulator on Android hands down.

Christopher Eitel October 3, 2016

Great Emulator

Cameron Hodgson August 7, 2016

I love it, but... This would be my go to GB Emulator, if only it had Link Cable emulation. Much like their Game Boy Advance emulator, without Link Cable emulation there's no way to transfer Pokemon between say, Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue saves, for example. I prefer pretty much everything else with this emulator, but sadly without Link Cable emulation, I'm forced to keep using My Old Boy instead. Update this and your GBA emulator with link cable emulation if you ever get time please, and it's an easy 5 stars from me.
