This emulator, Linking Boy, is a good emulator for GBA. The GBA Link feature is a great addition for GBA games. High compliments to the developer on the emulator layout and functionality; particularly, in adding GBA Link support for GBA Link games. The emulation is quick and responsive as well as accurate in sound to original hardware. Thanks to the developer for adding GBA Link support to the app!This emulator needs to expand support to: GameBoy (GB) and GameBoy Color (GBC); games, so as to be able to support GBA Link and GB/GBC Link features for: GBA and GB/GBC games. This expanded support should include the ability to use GB/GBC Link to trade Pokémon in Pokémon: Red/Blue/Yellow and Gold/Silver/Crystal; as well as GB/GBC Link multiplayer in: Legend of Zelda - Four Swords; and other GB/GBC Link multiplayer games listed on the Wikipedia page: ‘List of Multiplayer GameBoy Games’.I’ve rated this app 4 out of 5 stars, and will update the review to 5 stars as well as purchase the premium version if GB/GBC support is added to this app. Thanks to the developer for their support of this app! :)

This app is great for trading Pokémon between 2 devices. My son and I have used it and it works well. Yeah you have to pay $3 for the ability to use it but it’s a one time fee and it’s onlyRequired on the host device, not both. Works with my Xbox controller which is awesome, I just wish that I could map the fast forward to my controller but I don’t believe it’s possible from what I’ve seen.

I picked this emulator because, unlike Delta, the in game clocks automatically sync with the system after switching back to the app rather than just resuming the clock where it was where you left it. A key feature for me is definitely the button remapping, which I love. The Lcd3X video filter is amazing too. The audio is also soooo much better than Delta’s. I haven’t tried the titular linking function yet so I can’t speak on that. My main complaints are that it is slower than Delta and the audio desyncs. The framerate and game speed will drop and not run as smoothly as other emulators and the screen will tear (into a weird 6 parts), but is very much still playable, at least in my opinion. I cannot say the same about the audio desync. When you leave the app for a bit and come back to it, the audio will be delayed by about half a second. If at least the audio issue is fixed, this would be the gba emulator I’d recommend to everyone.

Seems to do just about everything you’d expect an emulator to do, however, with this emulator focusing on the “linking” aspect of it, I’m hoping that there will be updates to support “cross rom” linking. Ruby, Saphire, Emerald, FR & LG are different ROMs, and because of this, the Emulator refuses to establish the handshake. It would be amazing to trade between these games. Make this possible and I’ll give it the 5 stars it deserves.
