About Perfect Boy: GBA Emulator
Perfect Boy PRO is the ad-free edition of an emulator: an app that lets you play Game Boy Advance games on your Android phone or tablet. Built on the acclaimed open-source mGBA core, it has no game limit and backs up your progress to Google Drive. Add your games, pick up where you left off and play the way you like, with on-screen buttons or a physical controller.
⭐ PRO EXCLUSIVES
- No ads, ever
- Unlimited game library
- Automatic backup and sync with Google Drive: saves, states, cheats and even your games
- Backups stay in a private folder in your Drive, hidden from your files
- Use the same account on another phone and continue where you left off
HOW IT WORKS
1. Copy your own game files (.gba ROMs) to your device.
2. Open Perfect Boy PRO and add them to the library.
3. Tap a game to play with the on-screen buttons or a controller.
4. Save at any moment and continue later, even on another device.
🎮 ACCURATE, SMOOTH EMULATION
- mGBA core: high compatibility and faithful sound
- Works without a BIOS (optionally import your own gba_bios.bin for the boot screen)
- Fast forward with adjustable speed, as a tap-to-toggle or hold button
- Automatic save type detection, with manual override and speed hack in Advanced settings
💾 SAVES, STATES AND BACKUP
- The game's own save is written automatically, just like a real cartridge
- 10 save state slots plus a quick slot (on-screen SAVE / LOAD buttons)
- Auto save: leave the game and continue exactly where you stopped
- Import .sav files from other emulators
- Export everything to a single .zip: saves, states, cheats, patches and, if you want, your ROMs
- Restore your backup on any device: each save finds its game automatically
🕹️ CONTROLS YOUR WAY
- Multi-touch virtual controller with optional vibration
- Edit the layout: drag and resize every button, with profiles for each way you play
- Realistic buttons with relief, shine and shadow, and adjustable opacity
- Bluetooth / USB controllers and keyboards work right away, with full button mapping
- On-screen buttons hide automatically when a controller is connected
📺 PICTURE AND SOUND
- Filters: Sharp, Smooth, Smooth pixels, xBR, LCD grid and CRT
- Color correction that simulates the original handheld screen
- Integer scaling for sharp, even pixels, or stretch to fill
- Adjustable screen size, portrait or landscape, full screen and immersive mode
- Stereo audio with volume control
✨ CHEATS AND PATCHES

- IPS, UPS and BPS patches applied automatically when the game starts: play translations and ROM hacks
👥 PLAY TOGETHER

- Network link over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth with a friend nearby
📚 A LIBRARY THAT LOOKS GOOD
