Description by LEAN ASIA (from Google Play)
Turn your Android into a pocket retro console. This GBA emulator runs Game Boy Advance titles at full speed alongside 23 more classic systems, with save states, cheat codes, gamepad input and Google Drive cloud saves. It is an all-in-one multi-console emulator for your own ROMs.

You bring the game files. The emulator does everything else.

▸ 24 CLASSIC SYSTEMS IN ONE APP
A GBA emulator first, but also a NES emulator, SNES emulator, N64 emulator, PSX emulator, PSP emulator, Nintendo DS emulator, Sega Genesis and Mega Drive emulator, Sega CD, Master System, Game Gear, GameBoy, Game Boy, GBC and Game Boy Color emulator, Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Atari Lynx, PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16, Neo Geo Pocket and Color, WonderSwan and Color, FinalBurn Neo and MAME arcade emulator, plus MS-DOS.

Each system uses a proven libretro core — mGBA, Snes9x, Mupen64Plus-Next, PPSSPP, melonDS or Genesis Plus GX — for faithful timing and compatibility.

▸ SAVE ANYWHERE, PICK UP ANYWHERE
• Save states with multiple slots and autosave
• Quick Save and Quick Load right on the game overlay
• Rewind to step back a few seconds after a bad jump
• Google Drive cloud backup with conflict resolution
• Export and import save files to move a playthrough between phones

▸ CHEAT CODES THAT ACTUALLY WORK
A built-in cheat database plus manual entry for GameShark and CodeBreaker codes. Toggle codes mid-run without restarting the game.

▸ CONTROLS BUILT FOR A TOUCHSCREEN
• Customisable on-screen pad — reposition, resize, set opacity
• Haptic feedback and controller rumble
• Bluetooth and USB OTG gamepad support, with per-device button mapping and a controller test screen
• Tilt-to-stick for cartridges that shipped with a motion sensor
• Solar sensor emulation for the games that needed real sunlight

▸ MAKE IT LOOK LIKE YOURS
More than 50 themes and controller skins, from clean modern layouts to faithful handheld shells. Portrait and landscape layouts, full-screen mode, and a screenshot gallery you can share straight from.

▸ TUNE THE PICTURE AND THE PACE
HD upscaling, screen filters, colour correction and LCD/CRT display simulation. Fast-forward up to 16x, slow motion for the precise bits, frame-rate targets, and an on-screen performance readout.

▸ KEEP TRACK OF YOUR PLAY
Play history, playtime statistics, streaks, achievements, challenges and seasonal events — a light layer of progression on top of the games you already love.

▸ PLAYS OFFLINE
Once your files are on the device, no connection is needed to play.

▸ ABOUT GAME FILES
This GBA emulator does not include, host or supply commercial game software, and it never will. Load files you created yourself or dumped from cartridges you legally own. Sega CD and Atari Lynx additionally need their original BIOS files, which you also have to provide.

▸ SUBSCRIPTIONS AND PURCHASES
The app is supported by advertising. An optional Premium subscription removes ads and unlocks cheats, rewind, HD mode, unlimited save slots, cloud save, tilt controls and the full theme library. A one-time Lifetime purchase is available as well. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel any time in Google Play > Subscriptions.

▸ WHAT YOU NEED
Android 6.0 or newer. Performance on N64, PSP and DS depends on your hardware.

▸ PRIVACY
We use Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics and Performance Monitoring to find crashes and understand which features get used. No account is needed to play; Google sign-in is requested only if you turn on cloud save. See the in-app Privacy Policy.

▸ TRADEMARKS
This app is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Nintendo, Sony, Sega, Atari, SNK or any other rights holder. All names above are trademarks of their respective owners and are used only to describe hardware compatibility.

Whether you are replaying old games from childhood or meeting the library for the first time, this GBA emulator keeps it in one place.

Recent changes:
Smoother and more stable: fixes freezes in the game menu and with controllers, a faster game list, and Game of the Week is now truly free to play.

Comments on GBA Emulator: Retro Games ROMs for Android

★★★★★ Omayra Serrano gomez · Jun 25, 2026
Great app for roms, I love playing Pokémon roms on here, especially because you can add games from the app and online with download stuff. Genuinely a 5/5 stars.
★★★★★ sathya malini · Aug 25, 2026
I am very satisfied with this because it has so may GBA games for free when compared to other GBA, they all were asked to pay for playing game
★★★★★ Colby Snook · Jun 9, 2026
I'm going to give it 5 stars. I can literally earn pro features by using the app to play some cool Pokémon throwbacks, while there's so many more classics. To name a few, Legend of Zelda, Mario Bros, Donkey Kong, and alot more. I have seen one person complain about how the in-game save button doesn't save. Yeah, that's because you have to save it through the app interface by pressing the menu button while playing. Best emulator app ever!
★★★★★ Derrick Johnson · Jul 26, 2026
You have a wide variety of video games to choose from I'm really impressed by the number of video games that you can play RPG to action I remember renting video games when I was a kid and playing these video games makes me relive my childhood
★☆☆☆☆ James Leos · Aug 6, 2026
App was working so great for about 3 days. I downloaded it just to play some old school Pokémon. I got so close to beating Pokémon gold then it crashes out of nowhere. No big deal until I rebooted, and it loaded a random az save from the beginning! All my lvl 28-32 Pokémon are now lvl 8-11! I'm pissed and uninstalling. Don't waste your time with this app unless ur just playing to play don't care about progression.
★☆☆☆☆ Amorei · Oct 11, 2026
I'd give 0 stars if I could. Had this app for about a month and had no issues. Ads were a bit annoying but just turned my Wi-Fi off for uninterrupted gameplay. Then, this latest update came in. All my coins went down to 5 and everything is locked. You literally have to pay to play the games that are already in your library... or watch ads for coins and have 24h to play for free. I'm extremely disappointed. It was perfectly fine the way it was before. Nothing but greed now and it infuriates me.
