My first GBA emulator during 2016. Always was behind My Boy, now? Surpassed it. Can play PMN games that My Boy can't, UI still friendly as ever, Fast Forward lag is still my problem – probably my game's problem, IDK. Please add Emulator Shaders! Also, when using Cheats, do add a 'Do not show again' option because every time I enable new cheats every time & the message pops up, it gets annoying. Overall? Deserves 5 stars.

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

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!!!
