About this game

My OldBoy! is a full-featured and super-fast emulator to run Game Boy and Game Boy Color games on the broadest range of Android devices, from very low-end phones to modern tablets. It emulates accurately almost every aspect of the real hardware. Special features including link cable, rumble, and tilt sensor are also supported. You can also make your GB games colorful by selecting a custom palette.

Of course it does not just emulate the hardware. Thanks to the save state system, you can save progress at any time and return back to it instantly. And while enabling fast-forward in game, you can quickly skip to the part of the game you are mostly interested in.

• Fastest emulation using ARM assembly code. Easily get to 60 FPS without frame skips even on very low-end devices.
• Very good game compatibility.
• Saves your battery as much as possible.
• Link cable emulation either on the same device, or across devices over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, running at decent speed.
• Tilt sensor and rumble emulation through your Android's hardware sensors and vibrator!
• Game Boy Camera and Game Boy Printer emulation.
• Super Game Boy palettes emulation. Enhance monochrome games by bringing more colors!
• Enter multilined GameShark/GameGenie cheat codes and enable/disable them on the fly while the game is running.
• IPS/UPS ROM patching
• Fast-forward to skip long stories, as well as slow down games to get past a level you cannot in normal speed. Depending on your hardware, it can run as fast as 50x normal speed.
• OpenGL rendering backend, as well as normal rendering on devices without a GPU.
• Cool video filters through the support of GLSL shaders.
• Save games at any time with screenshot.
• Sync saves with Google Drive.
• On-screen keypad, as well as shortcut buttons such as load/save.
• A powerful screen layout editor, with which you can define the position and size for each of the on-screen controls, as well as for the game video.
• External controllers support, through either the Android native way or input method.
• Well-designed user interface. Seamlessly integrated with the latest Android.
• Create and switch to different screen-layout and key-mapping profiles.
• Create shortcuts to easily launch your favorite games from your desktop.

Best emulator ever. Let's keep in mind people if we have save files on one phone and you are trying to transfer them, it might not work due to the file format.....if it isn't a ZIP file, don't use it. Another thing about crashing......use the save feature that's on the game itself, not the emulator save file. That's how I lost my Pokémon file, using the emulator save feature. Too many soft resets and a crash is bound to happen. Try clearing cookies from ya browsers as well!

I've used this app for years and the new update made it unusable. I've tried going into the folder to get the save files imported, but it overwrote the save file I currently had and replaced it with years old ones. All the games I collected over the years got deleted, and the app refuses to import half of my games. I get a notification that its an "invalid GBC file" when the games played fine before, and they still run on other emulators. The free version won't load saves without a paywall. RIP

I get a message to choose a save folder and no matter which save folder I choose I receive an error stating the selected folder cannot be recognized. The emulator ends up using its own internal folder for saves, which makes syncing difficult. Additionally, the cloud save feature can upload to the cloud but it isn't downloading updates when I add new save files to the same cloud location.
