User Reviews
Pros
- Excellent GBA/GBC/GB emulation on iOS with smooth performance and accurate sound.
- Robust linking/multiplayer feature that lets you trade and battle across devices (up to four players).
- Save data portability: you can import games and export save data to other devices to continue playing.
- Good controller support and overall usability (button remapping and Bluetooth controller compatibility).
Cons
- Linking can be unstable when trying to connect more than two players and there are occasional connection hiccups.
- Multiplayer requires a one-time $3 payment to enable the feature.
- Save management lacks built-in cloud save and easy export; users often need workarounds (e.g., Filza) to transfer saves.
- Performance issues reported by some users, including frame-rate drops, screen tearing, and audio desync; occasional mute issues when the device is on silent.

The linking was good when I first downloaded this emulator then it got changed to where you have to be on the same network as whoever you’re trying to play with please change it back and add Bluetooth linking as well I used to get emulators on my android as a kid and Bluetooth linking worked smoothly on them so it would be nice if it can be added as well as a way to link with players in different states if that’s possible

Let me list it.
1. Snappier gameplay
2. Bigger screen
3. One time purchase for multiple saves and trading!!! (This is the only app that can do this)
4. Last thing. On delta if you finger slides off of the controls it stops the input. (I HATE THAT) on linkboy it keeps your input going. (I LOVE THAT)
9/10 linkboy
I wish it could do DS games
