User Reviews

Users praise Linkboy for smooth performance, an all-in-one GBA/GBC experience, and solid multiplayer features with a polished UI and extras. The main drawbacks are freemium limitations (saves/savestates locked behind premium), occasional performance issues and lag on certain devices (notably in linked play), and a common desire for NES/SNES emulation support in future updates.

Pros

Smooth performance and broad game compatibility on mobile
All-in-one emulator: supports both GBA and GBC in one app with a customizable UI
Local wireless multiplayer support (Bluetooth/WiFi)
Feature-rich experience with Turbo speed, RetroAchievements, and overall polish

Cons

Free version lacks save slots and savestates, with essential features behind a paywall
Performance issues and lag on some devices, especially with linked multiplayer
Missing NES/SNES support; many users want these platforms added

Me encanta este emulador! Pero hay una cosa que lo haria mucho mejor una especie de "Memory Viewer" como tienen los emuladores de PC, no se porque no hacen algo asi en celular.
