    You should have told me about the ad-free emulator version earlier. I would have bought it right away because I love old school games. Deleting my saved games and progress was really unnecessary. I only realized the app was gone recently and re-installed it, thinking there was a glitch. But no, all my saved games were wiped out. Uninstalling it now. Thank you very much. 😠

    That's great news! The GBA Pokémon games like Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Leaf Green, and Fire Red are running smoothly in the emulator. You can adjust the layout according to your preference, and there are multiple save slots available. You can also input cheat codes, but there's a reminder about using them. Additionally, there's a 2x speed option; it would be nice to have a 4x speed too. It offers numerous excellent features, all at no cost. Some users mention the presence of many ads, but that's understandable for a free service. Moreover, the ads are easy to close.

    It was so easy to use before. Installing and playing games was a breeze because the system would automatically find your games for you. Now, you have to search for them yourself, and even when you do, they don't work properly. Kindly bring back the old system.

    When I got the app, it worked perfectly. I was playing Pokémon Ultra Violet and everything was going smoothly. But one day, when I tried to use the app again, nothing was working. The ROMs wouldn't load no matter how many times I restarted the app. I lost all my progress. Please help me fix this.

    The best emulator for gba, in my opinion. There's just one problem - it doesn't always find downloaded roms, even if you pick them yourself. This happened with Beyblade G Revolution. Other than that, no problems at all.

    I really liked that emulator. It was great because it never lagged, and it had a speed up feature. It allowed me to play all my favorite Pokemon games and was super easy to use. However, the recent update seems to have messed things up. Now, it can't detect any of my games and has become a bit confusing to navigate.

    The emulator runs well overall. However, the controller occasionally doesn't respond, which can be adjusted to. I've almost completed my Legend Of Zelda: Minish Cap game, but when I go into a specific room, the menu screen keeps popping up. I've tried reloading many times, but it always happens in that room. I'm not sure if it's an issue with the emulator or the ROM I downloaded.

    My game sometimes resets to a certain point, even though I've reached the final stages and saved it. If I don't play for a while, my progress goes back to that specific point. It's like I'm stuck in a time loop just like in the Re:Zero anime. This issue is preventing me from completing Super Robot Wars OG.

    I got this GBA in 2012 but I started playing on it in 2010. It has never disappointed me. It's really nostalgic to play the same games from my childhood. The graphics are great and the layout is perfect. Overall, I would rate this emulator 5 stars.

    Ads are fine, no issue. I want the controller type changed and an option to reorder cheats for better organization. Everything else is good, no complaints.
