Comments on GBA Emulator – Retro ROMs for Android

★★★★★ Carlos Ortiz · Jul 31, 2026
I like playing Pokémon and some rom hack Pokémon
★★★★★ Avery Rothenberg · Oct 1, 2026
The absolute BEST emulator. Could not recommend it more. Don't be fooled by the app title; you can play way more than just GBA games. You could play Super Mario Bros. on the NES of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the N64. You can also play arcade games and Sega Genesis games. I just don't like how there's a paid subscription, so you can do things like to play in landscape though...
★★☆☆☆ Last Time · May 1, 2026
It is like a free trial for starting in free you only have 2 save and all you have purchase premium, and you can't beat the game in once because in top right there is timber and automatic you leave game
★☆☆☆☆ Steven Kanhai · Mar 29, 2026
Worked good. Then I launch it later, and it forces me to pay. Wasted all my time progressing through my games. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.
★☆☆☆☆ mew mew · Mar 27, 2026
Started a game just fine, came back the next day, and suddenly it's constantly badgering me to buy the premium plan. It locked my one save state behind a paywall, despite it not having a lock icon on it, so I can't even continue my game (it doesn't save manually). Worthless garbage.
