Retro GBA Emulator

Retro GBA Emulator plays GBA game files that are already on your device. It comes with no games, it cannot download any, and it never asks you to sign in. You add the files, and they stay on your phone. BUILT ON mGBA The emulator core is mGBA, the open-source core known for its accuracy, compiled natively for Android and paired with a low-latency audio path. Games run at full speed, with sound that stays in step with the picture. ADD A GAME IN SECONDS Tap Add and pick a .gba file, or a .zip that contains one. If an archive holds several games, you choose which one to import. The file is copied into the app, so moving or deleting the original will never break your library. NINE SAVE STATES PER GAME Open MENU at any point and save to one of nine slots. Every slot shows a thumbnail of the exact frame it was taken from, so you always know what you are going back to. Your game is also saved automatically whenever you leave it, and the game's own save file works exactly as it does on real hardware. CONTROLS BUILT FOR THUMBS A touch pad laid out like the real thing, with true diagonals on the corners of the d-pad and a light haptic tap on every press. Pair a Bluetooth or USB controller and the on-screen buttons get out of your way automatically. A LIBRARY, NOT A FILE BROWSER Every game shows its real title, read straight from the file header. Search your collection as it grows, and jump back into the last thing you were playing from the top of the list. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No cloud. No uploads. Your games, saves and save states live in this app's own storage on this device, and nothing is sent anywhere. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW This app contains no games and no BIOS file, and it has no way to find or download either. You supply your own files, and you are responsible for having the right to use them. Two lawful routes: dump the cartridges you already own with a cart reader, or play homebrew, which is written to be shared freely. Powered by mGBA, used under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.
