Not much to go off of, but here we go. For a mobile app, the controls are fantastic. The customisation is, while small, a nice touch. My only possible complaint is that you have to download the games externally, but it's to be expected. Wonderful emulator overall. In addition, the savestates you create seem to be stored in the ROM files instead of in the app, so even if you uninstall it, you'll have your Pokemon save file ready.

great emulator but only one issue: when i save my progress at one point playing pokemon red and go forward and make other save points along the way, it takes me back to 5 saves earlier so i lose all that progress and get stock at that point of the story. got me mad.

John GBA Lite is an AMAZING GBA emulator, and it's the LITE VERSION. IMAGUNE what the full version is like! No ads, works with external controllers or touchscreen, and plays games insanely well, even on budget phones like the Galaxy A51!
