Some of its good features include GBA sound (including Direct Sound), 100% ARM and THUMB emulation, and emulated BIOS functions. Other goals include accurate enough emulation to provide a development environment for homebrew software, a good workflow for tool-assist runners, and a modern feature set for emulators that older emulators may not support. mGBA has only gotten better since then, and now boasts being the most accurate GBA emulator around.įurther along in development mGBA gained Game Boy support and eventually is planned to have DS support too. Even in the initial version, games generally played without problems. The project started in April 2013 with the goal of being fast enough to run on lower end hardware than other emulators support, without sacrificing accuracy or portability. MGBA is a new generation of Game Boy Advance emulator.
