My GB operator my rips GB and GBC games with the .gb file extension. This app will only play the .gba file extension. If I rename a .gb game to .gba it will play. Seems like a simple software fix to allow app to play both .gb and .gba files without having to rename anything. Also in my experience, the sound lags quite a bit behind the video. I play a lot with the sound off, but would be annoying if I used sound. Still a very solid app, 5 stars!
Really good emulator

This emulator is really good especially for old rpgs like pokemon because it has many features that allow every player, even players who have different playstyles, to best the game way faster. My favorite feature is the three times speed mode. Also theres no ads and every feature is completely free.

Simple, clean interface, the fast forward is great, minimal crashes. 👌🏼
• Fast-forward no longer raises the pitch; audio keeps its original tone at every speed
• Fast-forward audio delay stays steady, and changing speed no longer stutters on iOS
• The speed row can now stack vertically, set separately for portrait and landscape
• Fixed Adaptive orientation: the layout editor now previews landscape, and the game screen no longer opens in portrait or too small
