    I love this emulator, mainly because it's the only one I can use to Speedrun Amazing Mirror on but it's so much more accurate than Visual Boy Advance and the others

I wanted to do let's plays of old pokemon games on my channel for a long time but never really figured out how to do it until now! (not that I'm very good at many of the other things like audio and lighting etc etc, but it's a step in the right direction!)

Me and i played lots of games on that emulator untill 2010 and when i see this it reminds my childhood. Now i do almost all emulation mu android phone. Because the presence of so widely technology and cheap internet in my country now days.

    Thanks man, I remember using VBA all throughout high school on my chromebook and wishing it had more features, so knowing about mGBA is great! ...especially since GBA is one of those consoles where it's actually better to emulate than play on the original hardware, even GBA SP's backlit screen wasn't very good.
