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.

I really liked it. They've added Retro Achievements support and it really handles the screen being turned off much more resiliently than RetroArch. Update: It seems to delete ROM files sometimes… watch out for that.

Games added before the "Game folders" feature was introduced cannot be deleted. To fix this, in the game library screen, go to Menu -> Game folders, then add your game folders and run a rescan. You should then be able to delete games.

What’s new

• Swipeable A+B now extends to A/B/L/R
• [gba] Do not boot BIOS if the ROM header logo is invalid
