About this game

Advanced open-source Gameboy Advance emulator based on VBA-M with a minimalist UI and a focus on low audio/video latency, supporting a wide variety of devices from the original Xperia Play to modern devices like the Nvidia Shield and Pixel phones.

Features include:
* High-level BIOS emulation, no BIOS file needed
* Supports the .gba file format, optionally compressed with ZIP, RAR, or 7Z
* Cheat code support using VBA-M-compatible files (.clt extension), don't use any "Master" codes since they aren't needed
* Supports hardware accelerometer, gyroscope, and light sensors
* Configurable on-screen controls
* Bluetooth/USB gamepad & keyboard support compatible with any HID device recognized by the OS like Xbox and PS4 controllers

The bike racing game Motocross Challenge is included courtesy of developer David Doucet. No other ROMs are included with this app and must be supplied by the user. It supports Android's storage access framework for opening files on both internal and external storage (SD cards, USB drives, etc.)

The recent update shows touch controls when holding down the fast forward button. The touch controls are turned off in setting but they start showing up after this update when the fast forward button is pressed. This is very annoying and this was not happening prior to the May 21, 2023 update. This is affecting all the emulators by this author including nes.emu, snes emulator and gbc.emu. I use a controller and do not wish to see the touch controls.

Pizza boy is cool because it has multiplayer support but the this app is much cleaner and more robust. It probably has less input lag than pizza boy (hard to say for sure). It also doesn't have a very big problem that pizza boy has: in pizza boy, if you use a USB controller, and brush your finger against the screen, the game flashes the onscreen controls and drops all your inputs, it happens frequently and is very annoying. All of Broglia's Emulators are great, so get this one.

Runs very well, switched to this emulator from myBoy! Since the Pixel 7 won't run 32-Bit applications (I loved that emulator). This is a great replacement, I have no issues and applaud the developer's efforts. No latency issues so far, very easy to set up my 8Bit Do SN30 pro+, clean appearance, straightforward setting. Bravo.
