Nostalgia.GBA is based on mGBA, one of the most accurate and popular open-source Gameboy Advance emulators available. If you can look past the lackluster aesthetics, there’s a solid GBA emulator to be found. Since the UI is the same across all of Nostalgia’s family of emulators, you know what you’re getting into.

The user interface here is nothing to write home about but is functional. Nostalgia has a number of emulators available, and their Gameboy Advance variant is another solid option. Although, if want to get rid of the ads, you’ll need to cough up some cash. Furthermore, John GBAC is completely free to use. If you’re looking for a fuss-free emulator for Gameboy Advance, John GBAC is a good choice. Gamepad support, compatibility with zipped ROM files, and even save file uploading to Dropbox (a separate app called John Datasync is needed to facilitate this) are all available. It lacks some more advanced features, but the basics are there. Like the earlier apps, the draw of John GBAC is its simplicity. Furthermore, there are customizable skins that really make Pizza Boy stand out among the competition. In addition to excellent performance, Pizza Boy employs a number of advanced features, like saving files and configuration data back to Google Drive, box art display for ROMs, local and network multiplayer, and emulation of cartridge features, such as the gyroscope and rumble. In fact, enthusiasts have tested Pizza Boy’s accuracy against other emulators, and it’s come out on top. It consistently scores very high results in emulation accuracy tests. Pizza Boy is one of the more recent Gameboy Advance emulators and widely regarded as one of the most accurate GBA emulators for Android. Finally, one of the weirder features of VGBAnext is the ability to record the soundtrack or sound effects of a game and use them as your ringtone! 2. You also get a neat “Rewind” feature that lets you roll back 16 seconds to quickly retry that tricky section. Save states can be shared between users, and there is even wireless multiplayer over Wi-Fi.


In addition, VGBAnext supports modern gamepads as well as older ones, like Nyko PlayPad and the PS3 Sixaxis controller.
