I'm glad to see the developers have started to address the limitations of MyBoy's compatibility with this successor app. So far my gameplay sessions have been promising and rom hacks that MyBoy struggled to start have worked on this app flawlessly. I just have one minor gripe, I miss having the ability to access the fast forward control from the pause menu in game, instead of having to have the button taking up space on the screen. If that ever gets updated I'll change my review to 5 stars.

i think it's the best gameboy emulator, it's work properly and can connect with 4 device at once, and it didn't ask your email. save and load state available in premium, but if you want to enjoy GBA/GBC/GB without cheat, you can give it a try

The best GB/GBC/GBA emulator, more convenient than RetroArch. However, I’d like to point out that it would be better if you also added full Super Game Boy support with additional buttons, than just a palette.
