Comments on Linkboy for Android

★★★★★ Hippo Pilot · Jul 7, 2026

The my boy emulators were my main until updates halted and Pizza boy became the hot new emulator. BUT, I am happy to say the developers have turned Link boy into a genuine competitor that outperforms pizza boy in features and design. If I had to choose one app I would choose link boy and not find myself wanting. The developers are attentive to user feedback and suggestions and deserve your money. A suggestion: some games have both an SGB and GBC enhanced mode, there should be a preference toggle

Please add more features based on pizza boy c/a basic/pro such Game Boy camera/printer and gba wireless adapter

★★★★★ Brightax06 · May 20, 2026

Yo I love this emulator and basically is the successor of the old My Boy and Moldy even I paid the premium features, but I got a question, is there a way I can change the button colors without having to change my phone theme?

What happen? I purchase the app last feb and now I need to purchase again? Is this a monthly subscription?

★☆☆☆☆ Ivan Federico · Feb 2, 2026

Locking saves behind a paywall is a dealbreaker. Of all the things you could have put behind a paywall, you chose this one, which is also one of the most essential features and is present in all other emulators.

★☆☆☆☆ Nomad · Mar 9, 2026

I have horrible stuttering in every game I play. My phone is enough to emulate PSX and PSP. Very poorly optimized emulator. Unusable.

★☆☆☆☆ Allysa Thompson · May 30, 2026

It plays nice (no skipped frames), but for some reason it's not recognizing the cheat codes that have 12-characters per line (and are legit codes as they have worked on the actual Game Shark device they're for--I still have the device and checked to make sure they work, and they do). This needs to be fixed, as otherwise it will limit how much I will be using this app.

Free version doesn't even have a single save slot, bruh
