★★★★★Aaron Hewitson· Jul 14, 2026
I used to use my boy but this one is by far the best out the two runs smoothly no ads will be upgrading to the pro version even though there's no need this one does everything you want I just to support the developer which is rare for me haha 100% recommended if you need a GBA emulator
★★★★★Allen Yu (AllenYu1984)· Jun 24, 2026
Works as expected for free version without ads and IAP. One of my best favorite RPG, Final Fantasy 5 and 6 Advance with Retro Achievements, so I can take challenge to get a trophy. Hopefully you will improve this in the future, TY ❤️🏆❤️🏆 Edit: Cheat do not work, it's just only a display and cannot use them unless I buy a pro version, so I can support developer, play FF and Mega Man & Bass without cheating, RA friendly 😂😎😂😎

This is the best free possible GBA emulator for android. No ads amazing.
★☆☆☆☆Laura Escudero Jiménez· Jun 23, 2026
Locking features like rewind on the paid version is scum behavior. Gba.emu, retroarch, Lemuria also have that feature for free.
★☆☆☆☆Bart Quirarte· Jul 15, 2026
This Emulator is Garbage and Cannot Play Genesis black screen app is very clunky but This Emulator is nothing but rubbish there's no single emulator that's good since Gen Plus Droid is delisted for newer devices and MD.emu is a paid app

Cheats don't work and when I try to use the multiplayer feature and try to load a different ROM I only get a search bar and a gray box
