Love it! Used it for over a week so far to play Pokémon Rom hacks and haven't had any major issues. Easy to set up and use, no ads is nice, worked pretty well. Most pro features seem to be fancy UI and some more advanced settings and stuff like that, so I still felt like I had a good experience just using the free version. I still decided to get the pro app because I like the UI customization and wanted to support the devs :) Very good app, definitely recommend!

Pizza Boy A Basic gets it right by keeping things simple. It’s fast, stable, and consistently responsive. The layout is easy to tweak and then forget about. No ads, no popups, no pressure to buy anything, just a complete app that works. I even reported an issue and got a fix within an hour. Updated, and it just worked. That alone sold me on paying for pro.

The best gba emulator ever, with no ads
★☆☆☆☆Remy Gasston· Apr 29, 2026
Cant play the game while lying down. Although my phone setting is set to lock screen rotation, this app overrides it. My other emulator doesn't have this problem. How can I give this any more than 1 star when I can't see the screen when im lying down? Completely unusable unless you are standing or sitting upright.

Easy to use? Nope. Black screen for any ROM. Search results in nothing when ROM dirs are added. No help from the interface. Junk.
