I'll stick with another emulator they made, though (MyBoy). yet, MyBoy can't play every game anymore, so here goes....I really like how it's a GBA and GBC emulator in one! you can also move around the virtual controller layout, which is nice. I don't really like how you have to tap the three bars, then tap close game, to close the game, but that's just me...keep up the good work. one issue is it takes awhile to find my roms, when you rescan...idk why. thx for the option for the visual feedback!

Great emulator just like all the others you've made. The only thing preventing me from rating this 5 stars is the lack of an option to force the emulator to download saves from Google Drive prior to launching a game, like the feature available in MyBoy. Without this option, sync conflicts are way more common. EDIT: It also appears that the fast-forward "toggle" option does not work when fast-forward is mapped to a physical button.

Thanks for your feedback! We'll consider adding an option to force sync prior to launching a game. Fast-forward button mapping should work with either "toggle" or "hold". Can you test by mapping it to another button? Feel free to contact us via email at [email protected]

good emulator but does not seem to be cross platform. I was hoping to play some games from an android to my wife's iphone but we were unable to connect even after directly linking our phones via bluetooth. If there is a way to get it implemented or somewhere to get troubleshooting advice i'd be happy to up my rating. Otherwise, to me this app is just myboy without my old save data.
