Please notice that VGB will not play GameBoy Advance 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.

Solid Performance With Minor Issues The Gameboy emulator I was using previously was much more battery intensive and it felt like the Android device was heating up a bit. This one has done very well with battery life, but has had minor issues elsewhere. The sound quality isn't at rich. Background music on some games sounds grainy and in Pokemon Yellow, the audio for Pikachu doesn't work at all. Also in Pokemon Yellow, the game moves incredibly slow. Lowering the FPS hasn't helped and only reduced the audio quality. Another minor point is the lack of support for external controllers. The fast forward button is useful for skipping long dialogue or ending credits, but otherwise gets in the way, being so close to the Directional Pad. That said, automatic save state upon exit is a nice feature and this is FAR more gentle to the battery life than the other emulator. This is a good pick if you don't want to wear down your battery and are willing to forego some other features. The only big draw is audio quality.

Umm Was going great and now I can't open it without it saying I'm using an unlicensed version and closing itself. I've done everything it says to and it still won't work

Not a good emulator The framerate is very choppy and there aren't that many settings. Avoid it.
