Ratings and reviews

I'll stick with another emulator they made, though (MyBoy). yet, MyBoy can't play every game anymore, so here goes....I really like how it's a GBA and GBC emulator in one! one thing I don't really like how when you press the D-pad, it lights up, I would prefer it not light up....maybe implement a setting to disable it, because it's really annoying, the more I use this emulator, otherwise, it's a good replacement.

good emulator but does not seem to be cross platform. I was hoping to play some games from an android to my wife's iphone but we were unable to connect even after directly linking our phones via bluetooth. If there is a way to get it implemented or somewhere to get troubleshooting advice i'd be happy to up my rating. Otherwise, to me this app is just myboy without my old save data.

Been a long time fan of your work. Bought all the GB and GBA emulators and this one too. Overall it's good but missing a few qol stuff. Firstly, control customization feels rigid. Would be great if I can scale freely/percentage wise instead of set sizes. Link feature is fine for turn based games like duel masters, pokemon, etc. but latency too high for fighting games. Would be great if I can locally load box art manually one by one. Overall a great emulator.
