User Reviews

Reviews praise the emulator's free performance, speed-up feature, and GBA/GB C compatibility, but highlight frequent crashes, data-loss saving issues, and intrusive ads after updates. ROM loading problems are also reported by several users. Overall strengths are the core functionality and option to remove ads via a paid plan, but reliability and monetization changes are the main drawbacks.

Pros

Free, reliable core emulator that runs GBA/GB C games well.
Double speed / speed-up option is highly appreciated.
Good compatibility, runs GBA/GB C games smoothly.
Ad-free experience available with a pro subscription.
Easy to use and intuitive interface.

Cons

Frequent crashes and instability.
Saving progress issues and autosave unreliability leading to data loss.
Intrusive ads, especially after updates and monetization changes.
ROM loading/management problems (ROMs not found or cannot access ROMs).

It won’t read any of the game files useless app

by Bs*****, 2026-06-19

There use to be no ads. I was alright with the first update with some adds and, premium features like over 2x speed and some unique add ons, buts it’s progressively gotten worse. I use to be able to play and listen to my book or music and now that’s gone because the game throws an ad every time I slide my task menu down to start my book. I’m just ranting but it’s sad to see such a good app slowly decay from greed. The newest required add before you play is the latest in a series of poor development decisions that has caused me to write this review. Hope this can help the dev make some changes or someone make an informed decision.
