Store listing

Full description
iGBA is a fast, no-nonsense GBA emulator and Gameboy emulator for Android: load the Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Color and Game Boy files you already own and play them with save states, cheats, rewind and a real gamepad. Every feature is free: ads pay for the app and one purchase removes them. No account, and the emulator works offline. iGBA does not include any games or ROMs and never downloads any. You open your own files from your device. THREE CONSOLES, ONE EMULATOR • GBA emulator built on the mature VBA-M core, the same one iGBA uses on iPhone. • Gameboy and GBC emulator (Game Boy / Game Boy Color) built on Gambatte. • Opens .gba, .gbc, .gb and .zip ROM files straight from your storage. • Classic retro games from the 90s run at full speed, with sound, on modern phones, tablets and foldables. COMING FROM ANOTHER EMULATOR? • Import your old .sav battery saves per game and carry on exactly where you stopped. • Export them again any time: your saves are plain files, not locked inside the app. • Save type override (Flash 64K / 128K) for the handful of GBA games that save nothing until you set it. • Your previous save is backed up automatically before anything replaces it. NEVER LOSE PROGRESS • Autosave while you play, on three timers, all visible and loadable from the pause menu. • Unlimited manual save states per game, each with a thumbnail of the moment you saved. • Keep any autosave permanently with one tap before it rotates away. • Rewind ten seconds when a jump goes wrong (GBA). • Import and export saves and full backups, compatible with iGBA on iPhone. CONTROLS THAT FIT YOUR HANDS • Move, resize and restyle every on-screen button: colour, shape, outline, label, plus eight ready-made skins. • D-pad or analogue stick, optional diagonals, combined A+B button, turbo A/B, adjustable haptics. • Bluetooth and USB gamepad support: remap every button, one saved profile per controller. • Put fast forward, rewind, quick save, quick load or autofire on any spare pad button. • On-screen controls step aside on their own while a controller is connected, so the game gets the whole screen. • Separate layouts for portrait and landscape, on phones, tablets and foldables. MADE FOR PLAYING • Speed control from 0.5x to 3x, or hold a button to fast forward through text. • Cheats: tens of thousands of ready-made codes in a built-in database, plus your own GameShark, Action Replay, CodeBreaker and Game Genie codes, with the code-type and master-code warnings that make them actually work. • Retro screen filters: LCD grid, scanlines and a CRT curve, plus the classic green Game Boy palettes. • Three-band equaliser, volume and audio focus, per-game settings. • Record an MP4 clip of your best run and share it, or grab a screenshot. • Macros and TAS tools for frame-perfect input. • Trade Pokemon between two of your own save files, no second device needed (Generations I to III). • Link cable over your own Wi-Fi network (experimental) for two devices in the same room. FREE, AND STRAIGHT ABOUT IT • Nothing is locked behind PRO: every feature is free for everyone. • Ads are what pays for iGBA, and they never appear while a game is running. • Remove them for good with one purchase, or watch a single video for 24 hours without them. • No account, no sign-up, nothing to log into. • Nothing is uploaded: your games, saves, screenshots and clips stay on your device. • The emulator works completely offline; only the ads need a connection. iGBA is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Nintendo. Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance and Pokemon are trademarks of their respective owners. You are responsible for the game files you use with this emulator.

What's new

Smoother sound: fixes the audio stutter some players heard between notes. The game menu now says which file each export creates: a .sav for other emulators or an .igbasave bundle for iGBA. Easier to find each game's menu: the ••• button stands out in the grid, and long-pressing a game opens it too. The library header now scrolls away so your games get the whole screen. Backups now move between iPhone and Android.
