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

Latest update, some GBA & GBC games with same title still identified as same game, only one of it show in library list. Example, these game are Spider-Man GBC and Spider-Man GBA. And can't play Capcom Classic Mini Mix GBA, black screen issue.

same praises as my older review, but I really have to stress how not being able to hold the B and A button with 2 fingers just make some games(mainly fast paced action games such as the zero series and Metroid series) uncomfortable to play as you need the B button to attack/charge) and the A button to jump
