I think ill rate you 4 stars because some of the buttons disappeared eve when customized, I tried everything, but it wasn't appearing. The only button has is the arrow keys, A, B, Select and Start. Another thing, there are other games that was malfunction like opening a Game Boy rom but stuck on a loading screen, the others were in different angles and the other is missing some images. But most of the games functions well.

I personally like this emulator a lot, it has everything you could wish for and more, especially considering I didn't have any problems with saves, which isn't that common. I have only one problem: the cheat insertion system. Sometimes the game will not recognize AR cheat codes or other formats, despite being listed in the "cheat type" tooltip, and will be hellbent in not recognizing it. That said, considered the quality of the emulator, it's something that you can very much let slide.

This one is good, you can add your gba games by importing the files from your downloads. If you need more gba games just type gba roms. You will find a plethora or your nostalgic games. The only downside to this is every time you try to set up your preferred settings, there are ads. Other than that, you can play for hours.

Pls fix your app, I tried to import games, but it said "can't use this folder, to protect your privacy, please choose a folder" which I did, but the same issue is there, heck I took tried GBA lite, and it's also like that, but NESS works, I'm confused I left for one day and this is what I get, please devs, be active I want it to be fixed I implore you

Paid for the app, and I still get ads, so it's a bit of a scam. That said, solid emulator besides.
