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.
Please, report any encountered problems here:

Absolutely amazing!!!
LSDJ runs terrible. The BPM fluctuates and the WAV channel is totally off. App is a waste if lsdj is the goal.
One of the best Game Boy emulators on Android. The only issue is the sound can be a bit buggy at times.
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!!!
Is there a way to batch download box art? - needs improving like an actual scraper. Works hardly ever.
App is terrible roms don't work
Great emulator, thank you. Using M9C Max Android TV Box.
The audio sounds a bit weird. The drums and some high pitched sounds in some games (like Pokemon) are odd.
Love this emulater my only issue is netplay wont connect with my friend we are on same wifi and everything i tried connecting before and it worked now we cant at all i tried on 3 of my other phones and it os also not working
It's an awesome emulator! Been using it since 2014 and it's still the best I've seen in customizing your perfect GB experience
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.
Works well, and the Cheatopedia is a great addon!
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
Thanks to support team, all issues were fixed.
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.
Not bad, bit of a pain to get games but pretty good
Well done! Everything works as it should and the layout is great!
This emulator is one of the best I've used. It surprises me how many people haven't seen this one yet.
I purchased vgba and i loved the emulator but thwy took it off the play store and didn't refund me or let me keep it
Still a great app.
I liked the part where I got to play Gameboy
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.
Does it all, does it well. Couldn't think of a single thing that would improve it. Nice
Works great, never had a problem with it. Plays every game I've tried, has cheats if you want to go that route.
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.
I got this so I could play Pokémon and I got 3 games
Great app. How do I reset the game state and load the game from the in-game save menu?
The Pokemon Yellow cheat "steal trainers pokemon" doesn't work.. When will it be fixed?
Best emulator for both windows and Android , love the fact I can add custom skin to this, it not upfront on how to so for those that want to , just get a custom skin name it backdrop.png for the background and get a custom skin for the button and name it Controls.png and drop both in sdcard/vgb folder and you set. Also u can move the button around in setting.
