Best. Gba. Emulator. Ever. You can input cheats and its JUST like playing the Game Boy Advanced! (I mostly play older Pokemon games) But its great! The controls are spot on. The best part is you dont get all those ads you get with other games. With myboy, an ad only pops up every few times for me!! I love this game! Definitley getting the full version soon! Thanks for making such a good game!!! 😁

Excellent emulator, probably the best GBA emulator out there. I've been using it for the past two years on three different devices. However, when trying to load a save state, the "error loading ad" issue gets incredibly frustrating incredibly fast especially because it's completely random and occurs even when you have mobile data or wifi enabled. Why include it in the first place if it's not going to work properly? That's my only complaint and why I can't give the app the perfect rating.

The best emulator i've ever used. Everything is not only fast, but also super quick and easy to use. Every menu is intuitive and provides tons of ways to personalise your experience. The controls are nearly as crisp as the real system, and the sound and graphics are on point and nostalgic. Must-have for any fan of Nintendo.

Free version nags too much and tries to load ads all the time. I'd suggest you use retroarch instead. It's completely free, ad-free, and open source. It takes a little more tweaking to set up but I support their philosophy more than myboy's authors', which is to intrusively remind users to upgrade to the paid version. Sorry, your otherwise well designed app is torpedoed by this money grabbing attitude

I LOVE THIS EMULATOR! I do have one complaint though, and that is that to do anything you really want to do with cheat codes you have to buy full version. I previously have used the John GBA emulator, which does not have this problem. Everything on John emulators is free. I will continue using John emulators only for this reason. Besides that, this is easily the best GBA emulator on android, I love this app.

Great emulator, the settings are nice and varied, controls are responsive. Only gripe I have is it won't let you load savestates unless you load an ad too. I know why, gotta get that revenue and all but my signal gets spotty out in the boonies so having 'error loading ad. Try again later' pop up when I'm trying to load up my quicksave is annoying.

About this app

My Boy! is a super fast and full-featured emulator to run GameBoy Advance games on the broadest range of Android devices, from very low-end phones to modern tablets. It emulates nearly all aspects of the real hardware correctly.

This is by far the only emulator that supports link cable emulation with decent speed.

Note:
*** To play GB/C games, you need to get My OldBoy!.
*** This is the free version. You CAN save and load with the game's built-in save capability, which is accessible from within the game, not from the emulator's menu.

With the full version, you can:
• Remove Ads.
• Save to and load from multiple slots (through emulator's menu), as well as auto save & load.
• Sync saves with Google Drive. Save your games on one device and continue on the others!
• Fast-forward with speed greater than 2x (up to 16x).
• Have multiple lines of codes in a single cheat.
• Have gyroscope/tilt sensor emulation through your Android's motion sensors!
• Link up as a server with your friend (the other side as a client, which is allowed on the free version).
• Create multiple screen-layout profiles.

Highlights:
• Fastest emulation, therefore saves your battery to the MAX.
• Very high game compatibility. Run nearly all games without a problem.
• Link cable emulation either on the same device, or across devices over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
• Gyroscope/tilt/solar sensor and rumble emulation.
• Enter GameShark/ActionReplay/CodeBreaker cheat codes and enable/disable them on the fly while the game is running.
• High-level BIOS emulation. No BIOS file needed.
• IPS/UPS ROM patching
• OpenGL rendering backend, as well as normal rendering on devices without a GPU.
• Cool video filters through the support of GLSL shaders.
• Fast-forward to skip long stories, as well as slow down games to get past a level you cannot in normal speed.
• On-screen keypad (multi-touch requires Android 2.0 or later), as well as shortcut buttons such as load/save.
• A very powerful screen layout editor, with which you can define the position and size for each of the on-screen controls, as well as for the game video.
• External controllers support, such as the MOGA controllers.
• Clean & simple yet well-designed user interface. Seamlessly integrated with the latest Android.
• Create and switch to different key-mapping profiles.
• Create shortcuts to easily launch your favorite games from your desktop.

No games are included in this app and you need to obtain yours in a legal way. Place them onto your SD card, and browse to them from within the app.
