Phenomenal emulator. You took everything great about MyBoy! and put it into this app along with very useful features. It is definitely worth buying the premium version of the app, and I will be doing so soon.

As someone who loved using MyBoy as a mobile emulator, LinkBoy is a great successor. I hope more features get added soon, such as link connection with other GBA emulators on PC such as Visual Boy Advance (or maybe it already does, I just keep getting errors when I try, though), or RetroAchievements support.

so a lot of games have sound issues like for example A Link to the Past gba port audio is louder and worse than the gba sound chip? idk how that could happen tbh

Going into the options (three horizontal vertical bars) when in gameplay always rotates the screen to landscape, even if you have selected portraits in the settings. Requesting a fix when possible. :) reply: I think it may be because I am using portrait mode while laying on my side, leading the emulator to think it was in horizontal mode? I have already locked auto rotation system wide though.
