My only complaint with this emulator is the music on every game seems to be just a slight few steps higher in pitch than it should be. Making it not exactly 100% accurate. Yes it's close, but why? When every other emulator out there doesn't suffer from this. My two cents to the author.

T70%

Heh heh, clever! This emulator lets you trick specially marked Game Boy Color games into unlocking their Game Boy Advance-exclusive stages. So if you were wondering what you were missing in, say, Wendy: Every Witch Way, here's your chance to find out. It's pretty solid in every other respect, although I do wish there was a way to use the Super Game Boy background in Donkey Kong '94. Maybe there is; I haven't found it, though.

Robert Broglia ports some of the best emulators to Android. There are free open source options out there like RetroArch, but usability is a nightmare. The ".emu" series have a clean interface and plug-n-play controller support that easily make them worth the money. Thanks Robert!

Great emulator for GameBoy colour; plays Pokémon Silver perfectly (the only one I've tested). Until it brings link cable functionality (so I can trade and multi-play) I can only give 4 stars. If there was an option to give 4.75 stars, I would.

X70%
by X####:

This emulator and all of the .emu emulators have a really nice 'integer-only' option that doesn't stretch the pixels at all. If you also turn off the bilinear filter it really makes it easy to appreciate the pixel art.

When I turn the app on all I see is blocks and no picture just sound. Tried re installing and same thing fix plx!

N70%
by N####:

But can I link to another phone to trade, like you would with a link cable on the original GB?

N70%
by N####:

Cannot change palette for regular Gameboy games using Android TV, so you can't make it look like the original colors (the default palette adds some color to it). I have emailed the owner of the app and have not received a response. Reading other reviews here, apparently the author does not reply to anyone. So, 1 star because of that.

Best gbc emulator

Without a doubt, this is by far the best Nintendo Game Boy/Game Boy Color emulator currently available... Fast, easy to use, compatible with everything and chock full of settings to tweak GBC.emu to your needs - who needs smartphone games when you can quite literally carry thousands of Game Boy/Game Boy Color titles around with you? In fact, my only complaint is the lack of Link Cable functionality (crucial to the "Pokémon" series in particular), for which a star is lost...

I bought this app a while back, love it! Been playing old pokemon games. However I just accidentally loaded 'state' which was from nearly the start of the game and I was near the end and had been save in-game the whole time. I can't find any kind of backup or any way to get it back! Is this possible? Its OK if not, it's my fault for not paying attention I just thought I'd ask ☺

This is the best GB emulator I've used. Definitely worth the money. The only problem is there is no link cable function (that I could find). Will give a 5 star rating if this function is added.

H70%
by H####:

All my games play flawlessly, real-time clock works with Pokemon and I can change the color scheme for GameBoy games like a real GBC I love it. The only request I have is if you can add an option to adjust the vibration intensity for on-screen controls

N70%
by N####:

Clearly the best gb/gbc emulator in the market! Runs perfectly, tons of options, respinsive and customizable touch buttons, perfect audio, multiple saveslots for the quicksave feature, different speeds for the speed-up function, autosave when you close or minimize the game and the list goes on :) Having a Link Cable function and a Quicksave/Quickload button on screen would make it perfect, but it's nothing an update can't add! ;)

My only complaint is it needs link cable function and rewind! Will be 5 stars with those added!!

Downloaded this emulator and downloaded pokemon gold played it for hours upon hours then after completing half i accidentally ( bare in mind the continue and start again button are next to each other which is stupid ) pressed the restart button and it just takes you straight to the restart ... all data gone .... all that time wasted ... emailed the developer he hasnt told me how to decover my data either so its gone

I love the emulator, never had any issues at all. Even broke my no buy rule!! However, when not using fast forward the games are a little slow, perhaps a 1.5X fast-forward? The older model from a few years ago had a dink where you could do something on the video setting and that sped it up a bit. Keep up the awesome work!!

When it comes to emulators, if it's made by Robert Broglia, just buy it! What you'll get is top quality emulation, accessible UI, and the best responsive touch controls. Does it have all the extra features that some other emulators offer? No, but it more than makes up for it with overall performance and friendly price. I'm halfway through playing Metroid 2 with no setbacks to speak of, running smoothly all the way.

by N####:

Just like all your emulators this one is without a doubt the best GBC emulator on the market. However, my only complaint it the cheat code system. It only seems to allow for a single line, when almost all cheats take several lines. Hopefully this gets update someday to allow for cheats with multiple lines to them.

I've been using this emulator amongst many emulators from Robert for years and never had any issues at all... until now. The game won't show on the screen. Sounds, buttons, everything else works fine. Tried Uninstalling and installing again multiple times but still the same issue.. please fix

M70%
by M####:

Had for years and still works great. After i got the new s7 i had to change video setting but this is no big deal. For all others having video issues. Go to video settings and change the GPU setting from auto to standard and this should fix

H70%
by H####:

Easy to use, and great at never losing my place. My only complaint is that there is no way to cable link between multiple devices that I have found. If this could be enhanced to allow, it would be absolute perfection.

N70%
by N####:

It is a great emulator on android 5 and below, however it does not work in 6. It claims compatibility and it loads, but it does not respond to touch events. You cannot access menus, nor launch any games! This is true of all of Broglia's emulators. He also does not respond to emails even though support is supposed to be guaranteed when you purchase the emus. I have purchased all of his emulators, none of them work any longer, and he has ignored my support requests.

*Note to LG G5 users: I had to go into Video Options and change the GPU Copy Mode from "auto" to "standard" to get this to work on my G5*

Only playing audio on the s7 edge. Video does not seem to work for any games that I have tried.

You can fix it by going to Options -> Video -> then set GPU Copy Mode to "Standard"

This emulator is fantastic. It is the only emulator to properly support built in GB colors which is something I've wanted for a long time.
