Me and i played lots of games on that emulator untill 2010 and when i see this it reminds my childhood. Now i do almost all emulation mu android phone. Because the presence of so widely technology and cheap internet in my country now days.

    Thanks man, I remember using VBA all throughout high school on my chromebook and wishing it had more features, so knowing about mGBA is great! ...especially since GBA is one of those consoles where it's actually better to emulate than play on the original hardware, even GBA SP's backlit screen wasn't very good.

    Well, this is a great GBA emulator, the only thing it lacks for me is support for LAN link mode, which works just fine in VBA.
    It has link mode support, but single-pc only, which is fine if all you need it for is just to get trade-exclusive pokemon... or you can always use the display monitors for battles etc. :P
    The thing which makes mGBA overall better than VBA is the out of the box experience, no configuration required for smooth and stable gameplay
    Perhaps you should cover VBA on a video too or at least make a comparison, that would make a great video!
