HIGHLIGHTS

If you are Android owner,you now can download John GBA (GBA Emulator) for $3.19 from Google Play. The application is designed for use in English language. It weighs in at only 10MB to download. It is highly advisable to have the latest app version installed so that you don`t miss out on the fresh new features and improvements. The current app version 2.17 has been released on 2014-01-31. For ensuring consistency with the device you should take into account the following app compatibility information: 2.2 and up

The app is pretty good and I do not have any problem talking about gameplay but even with the paid version some adds still appearing in my cellphone even out of the app and it s a king of boring and it anoys me because now when I try to use whatsapp or youtube for example these adds start to appear I would like to receive a feedback cause I don t wanna stop using this app                 Francisco Huebes

I m loving this emulator my only gripe is when playing a game such as the sims bustin out where moving diagonally is required I ve fooled around with the settings making diagonals larger smaller etc but I can t get it to read diagonal movement very well wish there was maybe a virtual control stick option unless I glanced over it Otherwise 5 5 awesome emulator                     Crash Nebula

pretty good app but even though I like it I have two complaints that has me going back to the My boy emulator when I play games on my S9 it runs well but when my fingers leave the buttons on the screen they instantly stop working My Boy has a slight pull that lets my fingers glide on the screen and still use some directions as for the other buttons My boy lets me use combo buttons unlike John GBA though if there is something Im missing sorry But unless this is fixed My Boy for me                 Dalton Martin

Non email intrusive fully functional gba emulator Fast forward button mapping save load states cheats overlay customization even FPS monitoring are all present here Excellent optimization even older phones will benefit from physical camera buttons etc that can be mapped to shoulder buttons or load save functions Perfect app to play some of my favorite RPGs from my pocket while taking up very little precious disk space                     Chris TBTP

Excellent emulator The lite version is fully compatible with adaway and I was perfectly happy with it so I bought the paid version because developers should be paid for their work                     Patrick Dailey

I ve tried a few GBA emulators and this is by far the best The interference is simple and easy and the emulation is relatively easy on the battery while being very faithful and smooth All the bells and whistles like save state custom virtual buttons dpad speedup etc are there Well worth the small cost                     Jeffrey Lund

In the description it says that the paid version has Bluetooth connection and when I go to the options the Bluetooth connection is in none of them For a game like pokemon emerald the multiplayer option is impossible because of this malfunction I payed for the game and about a week later went to play multi with a friend I request fixing that or a refund     Alexandru Zugrav

Its ok The emulator loads fine and ive not had issues with any particular game rom however cheats dont work at all Just be nice to find an emulator where this works Doesnt recognise any code you give it             Ryan Webb

Great emulator Lots of adjustment options for the controls and display and always runs smoothly even on my 40 phone This App is well worth the price                     Alex Mccallum

This is the best GBA emulator for me But right now it crashes when running a rom on my Android 9 0 phone I can t play any game     Ronell Oropesa

Very good emulator its definitely easy to use and I would recommend this to anyone I love that the app itself searches for the games I don t have to manually put the files in I love it overall I haven t found any flaws                     [BMXS1]TWITCHY

I love this app it works great I just cant get the cheat codes to work if that could be fixed it would easily be the best gba emulator out                 Brendon Basey

I downloaded the full version just to use cheat codes longer than 1 line for my fire red mono type run to work and it still says invalid code for all of the cheats Don t download this if you re expecting full cheat comparability     Linnea Bjelkesten

I love this emulator and dig the ability to move my buttons around its very streamlined as well However i can not get cheats working in any way shape or form regardless of the type of cheat It always says invalid code when entering anything more than one line long which most master codes are                 Nikolas Jackson

TOO EASY TO DELETE GAME Do not save the game in game because the developer put a giant load state on top of the screen i made it smaller tried removing it then i accidentally clicked on it and had to restart the game since I avoided saving states to get a fair experience of the game     Jesus Avila

I hoped to make better use of my screen with no ads but sadly there is no way to adjust screen scaling for vertical and landscape modes individually Would ve still given it a chance but as this is the old version that won t get feature updates anymore and reading that the dev removed old NES apps entirely I guess I ll be safe and just continue using the lite one The new app seems to have even less options for screen scaling while also showing a wrong screen ratio for GBA in layout options             Ignas Remeikis

Works flawlessly no UI issues or lag Been playing multiple roms and haven t had a problem yet                     Owen Beare-Bath

Nice and fast Just one thing can you maybe add keys life up right up left for gamepad mapping Sometimes they are quite useful                     Anastasia Ezhova

Here is the thing I want to mention before you complaining cheat code invalid pls make sure your rom version is fitted for the cheat code especially master code for example leaf green master code that most people get from internet is specifically for version 1 0 if you are 1 1 it won t work it s not the emulator s problem you dont need to spend 6 dollars to get my boy gba at all my personally like John s interface way more than my boy                     Jiacheng Sun

it d be alot better if an update was made so GB C could run on this emulator like they can on a real GBA However of course you greedy bastards don t want to lose money which is why you made a whole separate GBC emulator         Cesar Castillo

This emulator lacks tilt emulation I really want to play Warioware Twisted but this app doesn t have tilt emulation             Tyler Herrera

My only complaint is that the virtual d pad is not the best if it followed your thumb around the screen it would ve much more useable                 Flumper

great emulator for on the go or sat at home i really love the dropbox linking for new users this means that you can play on your phone or tablet then instantly play were you left off on your other device                     DnkMemBoi

I really enjoy this emulator But can you include a function to add more buttons ex sometimes I need to press L or R with another button And it s tough when they are not shoulder buttons So maybe by adding a custom buttons function will make gaming a little better And also some of the chest functions don t work either Other than that I really like this emulator                 Ferdinand-Antonio Calairo

Best emulator on the market but I wish you would allow quick switching to other games without having to exit the game I want to evolve my pokemon                     chris marino

was working a few months ago i bought this and was using a ps4 controller using the same setup over Bluetooth and now the directional pad and sticks are not working and if they do it s not right at all                     poison shift

Would be perfect if the center of the directional pad wasn t a dead zone Really kills any significant reaction time on a touch screen Especially for any fighting game which relies on slide movements             Andrew Grasso

Great I only wish it would sync with Google drive and that I more importantly could use Bluetooth and emulate a link cable to trade Pokemon                 Christopher Elliott

fantastic emulator love the layout and the options its fast with scanning and easy to use i wish i bought it sooner                     Matt Akash

great emulator Would give 5 stars if my controller worked when my phone was in landscape mode Works fine in portrait Tried both PS4 and Xbox One                 Graham MacCara

works good most the time sometimes it doesn t save like its supposed to and thats irritating             Daniel Neeley

It keeps crashing all the time Just terrible     JR 008

Love this emulator Only downside is with cheats Codebreaker Gameshark Action Replay ect codes usually don t work unless it s a Pokemon game                 Rich

just says cant locate files i thought if i paid for it i would have better luck than the other emulators i tried but it doesnt work     Deborah Hart
