All my thoughts in the previous message still applies, and the recently added Retroachievements support has amped up my playthroughs. Another thing I'd like to see other than the multiple shader, is more complete support for SGB exclusive features such as the borders and in some games such as Donkey Kong, the voice samples. If possible, a rewind button would be nice as well, though I could see it a bit redundant since they're too similar to save states. Edited

Thanks for your feedback! You can now apply multiple shaders simultaneously in version 3.3.0. We’ll also keep your other suggestions in mind for future updates.

good emulator but does not seem to be cross platform. I was hoping to play some games from an android to my wife's iphone but we were unable to connect even after directly linking our phones via bluetooth. If there is a way to get it implemented or somewhere to get troubleshooting advice i'd be happy to up my rating. Otherwise, to me this app is just myboy without my old save data.

Thanks for your review. We will make it possible to link between Android and iOS in the future. BTW, you can import your old in-game save from MyBoy by following the instructions here: https://pixelrespawn.com/using-linkboy/#import-saves

amazing app. did what it advertised. i dont have any money, so cant buy premium. works amazing with my homebrew game. 10/10 EDIT: one small complaint: I would like a option (or by default) where you could make pressing home on the emulator pause menu it closes the emulator and does NOT leave a savestate. i find that annoying some times \n EDIT 2: i may be stupid but you can disable "Auto load last state' Edited

I absolutely love this emulator for one reason only: free link cable emulation. I have been looking for a free emulator with link cable emulation for a while now but they all cost money. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is the disability to manually save your state without paying $4 for it. But other than that thing, this is an amazing emulator and can't wait to see it grow!

The 1 feature that would make this a 5 is if you can open up 2 games running at the same time and switch between them, to be able to play multiplayer with yourself. That was my favorite feature from my boy. edit update happened here's the 5 star..... just add local Bluetooth play now edit 2 oh yeah that's my bad g, I meant for ios. I have it on both so I forgot Edited
