Comments on VGBAnext GameBoy, NES Emulator for Android

★★★★★ Catt Nolan · Aug 27, 2022
Had this app for almost 10 years now and have not regretted it. Keep up the good work bro
★★★★★ Nicholas Godfrey · May 21, 2022
I have adored this emulator, the fact that I can pull out my phone and just play my favorite gba games from my life when I'm constantly on the go has been fantastic And the fast forward feature is so simple and efficient to use
★★★★★ Dylan griffiths · Oct 12, 2021
Missing cheat engine, followed the links posted below and got no resolution. Time for a new gba emu. Paid for this twice. Apparently my boy emulator has better cheat support.
★★★★★ Daniel Fryar · May 30, 2023
Still one of the best emulators around. If not the best. Please continue to update and support it through 2023 & beyond.
★☆☆☆☆ Bradley W · Jul 15, 2024
Cheats won't stay enabled I've tried to download the extra file posted online I've both left it ziped in my download folder and extracted it to my emulator folder (I own all these games) but still not letting me play with cheats on
★☆☆☆☆ Dennis Roman · Jul 28, 2024
Will not work on my android tv. It does nothing when I try and give it access to any external storage. ***Response to dev*** There are. Gba files there. I've been using emulators for a very long time, I know exactly what I'm doing. Your app sees the external card, but when I click on grant access it does absolutely nothing! ***response*** I tried that already. I placed the gba Roms onto the files' folder located within the apps' data folder, and it still won't read.
★☆☆☆☆ Nick Xinaris · Jul 29, 2023
SWITCH TO JOHN GBA! This emulator is overrated and more expensive than JohnGba. The freeze state here doesn't even work properly. This emulator is awful, and I just wasted time progressing in a game for 3 hours, and after I pressed Freeze and closed. When I came back the freeze state wasn't even there. You should hand out refunds for this waste of money scam gba app.
★☆☆☆☆ T Maw · Sep 22, 2023
I've had to restart everything twice. After emailing back and forth I sort of got it to work.... sometimes. Save state/freeze didn't work again today. I have given file permissions for the folder. I may try once more, but I had better luck getting things to work on Windows 3.11/dos back in the day.
