Guys this is one of the best emulator it runs smoothly it's best to play Pokémon gba roms like Pokémon glazed, firered, emerald, redical red and the best I recommend is the team Rocket edition one of the best emulator hats off🫡

★☆☆☆☆ Joshua Bayno · Dec 27, 2025

John GBA lite: the Save State Issues no more... I will stop play Pokémon for a very, very long time like 100 years I will not play

★★☆☆☆ Jackson Robins · Mar 17, 2026

Sometimes I'll exit my rom, and when I load it back up, the save file will be gone.

★☆☆☆☆ Zeternus · Mar 9, 2026

Worst emulator....lost my hours of progress even though I used in game save and save state....

★☆☆☆☆ Nix Pogi · Dec 30, 2025

There's a bug that deleted all my progress on Pokémon Fire red 💔

★☆☆☆☆ Karan Choudhary · Jan 2, 2026

Everything is just fine BUT bring some emulator shader to make the quantity of video better, like my boy has it, if you want my boy users to switch on your emulator then this is the only thing you need to improve, DOOO IT FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!
