Comments on Linkboy for Android

★★★★★ Petar Bikar · Jul 30, 2026

This is awesome, a perfect successor to My (Old)Boy. Link cable emulation (local, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) is easy and works well, this alone makes Link boy and its predecessors exceptional, and now it's even cross-platform! The improved UI and features like shaders, built-in file manager, switching between GB, SGB, GBC, GBA (if applicable), palettes (defaults AND game-specific), are all excellent. There are no ads, no nag screens, no bloat. This is THE BEST option for phones (including libretto cores).

★★★★★ Justin Caldwell · May 7, 2026

Other than some sound irregularities, which carried over from the My Boy! Series, this is a more streamlined emulator for the Game Boy series of systems. The games in question (and possibly others) are Sword of Hope II (GB), Shadow gate Classic (GBC), and most games utilizing Digitized Speech/SFX (Resident Evil: Gaiden and Spawn to name a few). Great works in modernizing My Boy! And Moldy! With QoL improvements. Keep the updates comin'! 👍

★☆☆☆☆ Dr. hany · Jul 11, 2026

It asks for money to unlock the save feature. Really, save has become a feature right now. no, thanks

★★☆☆☆ Christopher · Aug 10, 2026

Wish I had this when I was a kid, but now I'm home-grown and don't want any things like this thrash my house, so I'm just rating this for my self, off course, and it's the best gift I could have for this lifetime, so thank you LINKBOY for all I have when I didn't know what is everything about

★☆☆☆☆ 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.
