GBA Emulators
GBA emulators are programs that recreate the hardware of the Game Boy Advance, letting you play GBA games on PCs, smartphones, tablets and other devices without the original handheld.
Well known GBA emulators such as mGBA and VisualBoyAdvance-M run the vast majority of games and are easy to set up. Most also offer extras that the original console lacked, such as save states, screen filters, fast-forward and cheat support.
