Comments on Nostalgia.GBA (GBA Emulator) for Android

★★★★★ Brandon Duvall · Mar 12, 2025
The Best Emulator for this OG Handheld all the games works well, but I want to see a speed-up button for the emulator, so I can play games faster
★★★★★ Garvin Munisi · Nov 23, 2025
Best gba emulator for games like Pokémon
★★★★★ Krisgeline Estebat · May 26, 2026
Best emulator I have seen rom hacks works all of your nostalgia emulator like nes and gbc works perfect for all the rom hack also this is something i don't see alot But Its cool and perfect for super Mario advance 2 cheats is always enabled the roms does not get delete like the other one sav. Srm. Is easily seen in archiver no lags
★☆☆☆☆ Rory McKenzie · Mar 29, 2025
No way to access save files. I need to get a new phone soon and can't find anyway to back up my saves. Frustrated that my 50-hour Emerald Imperium save with 3 shines is being held hostage. Will not be using this emulator next time unless resolved
★☆☆☆☆ Thomas Elder IV · Aug 25, 2025
Used to be a 5-star app for many years. Recently they have decided to hide all the .sav files and constantly looses all my ROMs and cannot import them again....very sad
★★☆☆☆ Rotted Hood · May 9, 2025
Can't use the read directory/folder option, saying i don't have the application to use it with. This wasn't an issue before.
★☆☆☆☆ Matt Curnell · Aug 9, 2026
it's a great app.... tell your roms a bin file, and it doesn't display the roms name and instead gives a random number string and msf for the name
