Decent emulator, could be better but works fine for a FREE product. I can't write an entire review but I will start with some negative aspects. 1, emulator remembers where game was left off and game save cannot be removed before loading the game. 2, folders for are hard to find. 3, the buttons are unresponsive and finicky by default, when I played it played poorly when the charger side was on my left hand side. Now the positive. 1, runs games well and did not crash. 2, free savestates.

Fantastic emulator. Probably my favourite GBA emulator for Android. Loads every game i've tried perfectly. I have one thing to ask about though. I want to record some gameplay for YouTube, but i can't record internal audio. I was wondering if i could have permission to record internal audio. Or there could be an update to allow this. Thank you!

It's really fun to play words cannot express how fun this game is and there's so many types that you have to play it's so wonderful there's no ads and it's for free and the games and it's not fake at first it took me awhile to get it but I searched it up on YouTube and I was able to play Legend of Zelda and Pokemon it's really fun check it out I'll give this a 5-star review

Its really great. Use it on landscape mode. Also it's very user friendly and one of the best GBA emulator on GPlaystore so far.Try it out go to settings and mess with it. I play Pokémon emerald with it and so far it's ok . Only one thing though after pressing start button I can access all of it except the exit, logging out is easy but it would be much better if the exit button work. Instead of manually having to exit the game from my phone.And u guys need to make a Nostalgic.NDS emulator ASAP

Works great. Although you do have to get the ROMs yourself, which isn't too much of a problem. The controls are a bit hard to get the hang of, especially when you need to press two buttons at the same time, or press them in quick succession, but the controller layout editor really helps with this.

Works as described and more! Tried out The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap with this and played well! Played for hours and progressed and saved game successfully for later.
