I recently got a Bluetooth controller for my phone. The app's description said it was compatible and the controller layout could be customized. The controller however, will not work with any of the games. If any knows how to fix the problem please tell me! Otherwise it is great!

It would be better if you fixed pressing 2 buttons at once. I go to do the suto-spin attack and it keeps releasing the B button even with the between button press thing is on. Please fix and It will get 5 stars on my part.

The only problem is the control pad is a bit dark, but that's not a big deal to me. Very little ads, just one when you start up. Would recommend to others.

This is so good, it doesn't even feel like I'm using an emulator. It feels like I'm actually playing the games. It is possibly the best performing emulator out there. EDIT however, I have noticed ONE problem. The screen is stretched horizontally whenever my phone is tilted sideways. If there is a way you guys can crop the display a little bit, it will be much appreciated.

Works as a gba emu. Just missing listed features such as cheats and fast forward. The virtual buttons are practically invisible even on the highest setting. Pop up ads any time you open the main menu, which the send you back to the game screen after exiting them so you can end up doing this 2 or 3 times.

The layout looks good, but it doesn't do any of what's in the description and if it does then I can't find it. Either false advertising or really terrible instruction

G70%

Good for basic emulation. Absolutely no additonal features that are listed in the description. If this is an open software group prpject you would think these issues would be addressed. Ive deleted it within an hour of downloading it. The least you could do is comment back to some of us and let us know you give a rats a** . But instead you guys only care about the money from the ads.

I felt I needed to give this five stars because I have had it for a while now and haven't had a single issue. I thought it would drain my battery and it doesn't at all. It only shows one add when you first open the app, but I just keep it running in the background since it doesn't use data or use up my battery. D-pad is a little bit of a pain, but what do you expect for a touch screen D-pad? Great free app, no real complaints.

Z70%

There is no area to input codes like it says in features. Its very VERY laggy and the buttons go "poof" if you mess with anything. My advice if you want a GBA emulator that runs correctly go elsewhere, at least until this one is fixed

W70%

Everything works fine and great! I got this problem though. I played a game the other day and saved it, but the save file is missing when I went to play again. I'm already familiar with emulators so I tried the app's save feature as well, but it's gone as well. Is it just my phone or what?

Z70%
by Z####:

I tried to play pokemon Emerald and Fire red version on the Emulator. It was super sweet until I tried to use a potion on my pokemon. Just cant in both games.. And the B button is acting like the A button.. Instead of doing back its selecting all the time.. Really ordinary.. I find it sad cause the rest was really nice. Hope you will one day fix this.

Sadly I can't bring my Gameboy and game case around so having my favorite mobile console on my phone is great. You only get one ad per play session and that is when you select the game, I can play the games I've always loved like Advance Wars and Pokémon Ruby. Absolutely amazing

by Z####:

All it does is play games. It doesn't have a menu, you just find a game and play it. So you're stuck with the triggers in unreachable places, buttons too translucent to see, and an annoying rumble every time you push a button. To top it off, no menu means no controller input, or save states. I gave it two stars in the hope that I somehow missed the menu.

Q70%
by Q####:

I don't mind the buttons being too dark but it should definitely be fixed and there really needs to be a mute button for the app because pokemon doesn't have any mute setting and JohnGBA emulator does and also has multiple save slots.

B70%
by B####:

You can call me a cheater for trying but I wanted to use cheats. Only problem, cheats tab doesn't exist! It was mentioned in the features list but I cannot find an input for cheats in the app, and it's not with the well hidden settings tab which many people can't find either. Instead of having the front page as a single "PLAY!" button, you can have a settings and cheats tab there too so there isn't an endless hunt for them.

The buttons got messed up and now they're in the wrong places which makes the games very hard to play. It used to work great and had no problems. I don't know what happened but please fix!!!

Unfortunate that i cant play mario very well because running and jumping together, (so using the dpad and a/b buttons together) doesnt work. Only one jump at a time

Once I downloaded a game and start playing, I wasnt able to find anyway of changing the app settings or to load a saved game. If anyone knows what I'm missing, please let me know

Z70%
by Z####:

I haven't had a problem till today. I've lost the option to open up saves I've made with the emulator it's self not the games game save files. This is a big problem for me. because for most of my games I never did make an ingame save I've always used the emulator to save my game play.

Z70%
by Z####:

For those who are saying there is no turbo/fast forward i just found it it's under settings and you have to set them they are off on default. Just check the settings and than go to button layout and you will find it.

Z70%
by Z####:

It seems to work and save the rom as long as I don't just close out. What I don't get is how it says that the button layout is customizable but I don't see any options to do so. I'd like to be able to darken the buttons so they are easier to see.

Z70%
by Z####:

Worked well enough, button placement was odd when in portrait mode, ads aren't a big issue but still present. It works and does what it should but I found My Boy emulator to be better overall to this app.

Z70%
by Z####:

No fast forward or cheats that I can see. The app menu to get to the settings is barely readable because they're half off the screen. If you're going to put a menu in, make sure the whole thing is accessible and not only the rightmost top 10 pixels of it is visible. It looks like a promising emulator otherwise, dev just needs to do some work on this issue. Oh, and the ads are a bit obnoxious too.

Cant do everything it says in discription ect cheats... Where can you put the codes in?? Not too bothered as i dont want them but sure others will. Cant see buttons very well and there placement is abit annoying too. Except for that though its good!! To say its free i guess

The button placement is all over the place. I can't change any of the settings because there isn't any setting menu. Most of the roms open but it opens the ones that are legit. Mostly I just want to be able to change the speed and change the size/sensitivity of the buttons.

B70%
by B####:

While I can't find fast forward or cheat area(I don't really mind the cheats but would love the fast forward) it allows normal saving and has save states and it runs in both portrait and landscape. Overall better than any other free gba emulator on play store

I downloaded pokemon emerald and I tried playing it, but the app would say it stopped working. If they fix this I would give 5 stars

Z70%
by Z####:

I got this specifically to play Advance Wars 2 again. Happy to say for one I beat it, and for two I had no problems. Some complain about lag, but that's why you get a good phone with less background processes and enable frame skip. Do remember the file HAS to say .rom or it won't work. P.S. Advance Wars 2 is a good 4 player on one device game for family trips. I recommend finding it. P.S.S Some phones access the settings through holding down the back or menu button, whatever you call it. You're welcome.

by V####:

Just a couple of problems, might be me, if it is I'll raise my rating, but where is all this? Cheats -Customizable control layout -Physical controller capabilities I got this app to play pokemon emerald and I need the cheats to get to certain pokemon, deoxys for example. There doesn't seem to be any options for controllers at all. So yeah, if it's just on me, I'll raise my rating, but you have put in your description that this is in the game so I expect them

Z70%
by Z####:

This app is terrible. I was about an hour into pokemon fire red and the app crashed and all my progress went with it. Now I have to go through the boring beginning part all over again. Not to mention the virtual buttons are barely visible and there is no support for a game pad! I'm getting this trash app off my phone.

Z70%
by Z####:

The only probelm I have with this app is how to put cheats into your game. I'm currently playing pokemon ruby and I wanted to know if it was possible to add cheats in this emulator because every other emulator seems to have it and is simple to add cheats.

Z70%
by Z####:

For some odd reason when i leave the app for a second to look something up 1/10 times it just closes. Very frustrating when I lose hours of progress because i want to know what level paras evolves. That is the only issue i have with it though, it works great otherwise.

B70%
by B####:

I tried to cheat. The button was there. Then flipped the controls and looked for it. It was no longer there. Idk what happened but I was playing a game on a different emulation and it didn't save in-game or out game. And after four days of intense gameplay and having to restart over for time only to get half way done and it just makes me beyond mad. I'll keep his here but want to know where the hell the cheats went.

P70%
by P####:

Runs smooth and hasnt crashed in my 30 hours of use. Only played the fire emblems and some pokemon and its been great. If anyone knows if there are cheat menus or atleast quick save or save states that would be great. Also im legit super surprised that saving actually works. I can close the app no worries as long as i save

A70%
by A####:

Perfect and just what I was looking for. But the buttons are just to hard to see which is really hard on the eyes when you have to keep looking for them. Please Mae the outline of the buttons solid and dark. Or shade them in more so they can be more easily seen please.
