Ok so I bought the Hyperkin smartboy and the instructions says to download this app. The emulation is horrible on this thing... The sound is not emulated properly, it's scratchy and lags. Also there's no way to change the screen like a real dmg with the right color palet and pixel grid. I'll try to find a better emulator.... This one is bad.

This emulator has extremely poor noise channel emulation. It also has serious issues with some of the other channels but the issues only come up when pushing things. I would not recommend this emulator for any situation where you are going to be pushing the sound such as LSDj, DGB hardware player or a GBS player.

An amazing emulator. I am able to play any GB game without any issues. Also no ads. One of the best features with this emulator is the fact that if you're playing Pokemon games you can link between games in the emulator in order to trade. You can have like up to 4 GB games running at a time to trade or battle if you want. It's awesome

I'm steadily getting more and more disappointed with these apps. I have had this one and the free gba one for about five years or more. Things have gotten better when it comes to running the games and for gameplay as well. But other things seem to have gotten worse. For one thing features that were originally available in the free versions, even limitedly, are now gone. Also the free gba app is gone as well. I don't have money to spend on apps, like many people, so this is disappointing for us.

I love the app it plays games very well. My only complaint is that when I used the link to transfer pokemon it worked but it keeps you stuck in the link room. Theres no way to get out of it after the pokemon transferred. I tried everything. Good thing I saved the game to a different slot and not overtop my old save state. No sure if it's the emulator fault or the roms fault but if that could get fixed I'd give it 5 stars for sure.

I play the original Pokemon games with this emulator and it works well, as expected. As long as you know what to expect for limitations with the free version you will be happy. Unfortunately it no longer works with the latest version of Android at the time of this writing. Do the developers have any plans for an update so that I can use the app again?

Used to be an awesome app ive had it for years.. but with the lack of updstes it doesn't support with my phone now. They haven't updated since 2018.. update it.. even the version u pay for stopped working so its not a money issue. Rip best emulator app. Ugh.

My 1 big issue here is that the save files arent free. As someone who likes to do multiple playthroughs of games, I'd like to be able to play the game again and keep my previous run. Other than that, solid emulator. Good controls, responsive, no freezing or glitches in the time I've used it.

Great emulator for nostalgia. Could you haptic feedback on the buttons though, since you're working on a touch screen. Loads ROMS fast and stable and without demanding too much system resources. For a free app, it's got a healthy dose of features. Haptic feedback on the buttons woud help get it to a full 5-star rating.

Okay emulation, sound is a bit off, and the emulator sometimes can't keep up, even on higher end devices. Shame that a lot of the features are locked behind purchasing the app too, hard to test that things work without the ability to do anything but the most basic things.

Pros: A free emulator with No ads and has 2x speed. No issues with it for years of playing. Cons: you only get one save as though it were a single cartridge. All quality of life features are the paid version, but that's expected honestly. Not sure what some people are saying about not finding their files (sounds like they downloaded incompatible Rom files). 5/5 recommend

Excellent emulator, works flawlessly with the old classics I used to love (or at least, as flawlessly as they ever ran originally...). Ended up paying for the full version. Mostly due to the ability to set up a custom layout (the pre-existing one wasn't ergonomic enough for playing for more than half an hour at a time). Wonderful app, would recommend it to any GB/GBC fans.

I don't usually give ratings, but the My Boy! series of emulators are top notch. The features included are really fantastic, even without purchasing the definitive version: proper save files (save states are completely different, you can still keep your progress by saving normally), zip compatibility, and even same device multiplayer, which makes games that work well with the feature (e.g. Pokémon) even better. I don't even have any complaints; it's just a really good emulator.

It was good enough that I finally bought the paid version! Leaving this review of the free version as a farewell before uninstalling. I play Pokemon games on here, and it's been so great to play old games on a modern format for free. I really only played Pokemon games but just wanted to report that I never experienced any bugs or glitches on the free version. Used this free app on both a Samsung Galaxy S8 phone and an original Samsung TabA tablet, both for years on and off with no glitches 👍

was great for a little while. the ability to not load saved states isnt a big deal if the game save function actually worked. I started a game and was saving the way it used to work. but suddenly my saved file went back several hours of time i put into it. Not only do I now not have trust in the free version, but i cant be sure if the paid version would screw up as well.

My biggest praise is that there are no ads while actually playing the games! Thank goodness! You only ever see little banners while selecting your game, and it isn't obtrusive. Everything runs very smoothly! I haven't encountered an issue really. Only complaint is no save states unless you buy the deluxe version (which are available on PC emulators for free), but this is still probably the best free GBC emulator on Android. At least, that I can find.

This Emulator is great. It's just like playing on a real GameBoy. The controls, settings, and layouts are simple and easy to manage. Layouts are customizable (which is always a plus). You have the option to use save state and other cheats if you chose. And you can speed the game up. I use it to play the OG Pokemon games from gens 1 and 2. Those games are old and finding a legit copy that still works would be hard. If your looking for a great gaming experience, use this app.

This is my favorite Gameboy emulator on Android. I plan to use this app to make music with LSDJ, and it has the cleanest audio output of any app I've tried. The app does have some poor default settings, but they can easily be changed. It can quickly find roms on your phone, but unfortunately it also displays zip files, which makes the menu a little messy. My biggest complaints would be the low res button icons, and the fact that buttons like A/B or Select/Start cannot be separated.

Perfect. Where do I start. If you are one to use touch controls this if for you. Because if the simplicity of the gameboys controls the touch controls are not bad. The emulation is perfect with no issues. The only thing I would change is having a way to sharpen the image. It looks blurry, the only "fix" is to get their filter pack and use the lcd filter but it is only a half fix. If you use this emulator I would get my roms from gamulator it's safe. To wrap up I would highly recommend this app.

Amazing! Can resize the button layouts and move the screen! Perfect tool in reliving the classics with the new Flip smartphones, and really turns your phone into a game boy advance sp! The app I was using before does not have the ability to move the screen, and the default position seems to be right in the crease of the Flip. Not a problem with My OldBoy! Got the screen where it needs to and am reliving the nostalgia in the absolute best way! I'm so happy with this app, thank you! <3
