About VGB - GameBoy (GBC) Emulator
VGB is a GameBoy emulator. It runs Classic, Color, and Super GameBoy games on your phone or tablet. VGB also emulates the pocket printer addon, link cable, rumble pack, cheat codes, and comes with cheats for dozens of popular games. Save your game progress at any moment, or even rewind gameplay back in time. Brag about it to your friends, then let them start playing where you have left off. Or play together over WiFi. VGB supports GoogleTV and lets you play using Xperia Play, Moga, iCade, Wiimote, Sixaxis, Nyko PlayPad, and other gamepads.
* Specifically optimized for Android devices, using assembly language and hardware acceleration to run GBC games as fast as possible.
* Supports full screen landscape and portrait modes, with many special effect options and customizable skin.
* Supports Moga and iCade gamepads, Nyko PlayPad, Xperia Play, Wiimote and Sixaxis.
* Supports GoogleTV devices running Android 4.x (Jelly Bean), such as LG G2/G3.
* The built-in Cheatopedia offers cheat codes for many popular GBC games.
* Save gameplay at any point and go back to that point once your character gets killed.
* Rewind gameplay 16 seconds back with a single keypress.
* Share your current progress in a GBC game with other users via State Exchange feature.

* Play with your hardware keyboard, gamepad, touch screen, or accelerometer.
* Record game soundtrack to MIDI files and use them as ringtones.

Please notice that VGB will not play GBA games: you will need VGBA for that. VGB package itself does not contain any games. You should place your own game files onto the SD card before running VGB.
Please, do not run any software you do not own with VGB. The author cannot and will not tell you where to find free GameBoy games.

The audio sounds a bit weird. The drums and some high pitched sounds in some games (like Pokemon) are odd.

Very nice. Bought it for the fact that it has a debugger. Would like to see a genesis/megadrive emulator with a debugger on android as well. But you wont see me complaining.

Plays all of my games very well. I think the only issue I ever had was when I used the fast forward button it corrupted my game but I don't think that is an issue any more

The turbo doesn't really work right, sprites don't display right, games don't run smoothly. There aren't any serious issues, but there are absolutely better emulators out there.

Love this app! The only problem I have isn't with this app, it's with not being able to find your gameboy advanced app. I could have sworn I bought it when I had my old phone but now I can't find it anywhere :(

Plays games well on bravia android tv. When I'm connected with the dualshock 4 as a gamepad it won't open the menu. Doesn't matter if I hit a+back or the two thumbsticks it won't show up. Works ok for now but would like to tweak some button mapping in future.

Extremely steady frame rate with sound unlike some other gb emus. Would love to have an only stretch video in landscape option. More filters would be nice as well. Keep up the awesome work.

Best next to My Boy on pc. Better than the new VGBANEXT. Sorry but i noticed sometimes this one and VGBANext won't load and it'll bring up a message saying I need to verify I own it, why does it do that? If I'm not on wifi, it'll sometimes do that.

This app has it all. It has come a long way from were it started and now it seems to be the Alpha app to get for your GB games. I rated it 4 only because all of its saves seem to be save states and my n64 cannot read those for games that require gb saves. Other than THAT it sems to have it all

Has been working perfectly on a few of my devices through different Android versions and such. Seamless. Love it.

The only way I can play games is by searching. Won't change directories, always says "failed listing". Has something about Parent Folder, Emulated, and Self. I need help with this!!!
