Missing features?
I’ve used Linking Boy premium on Android and now IOS, and I have to say, VERY disappointed. The android version has 2 options that the IOS version doesn’t (that I’ve noticed so far, anyway) - a color filter that makes the games less brightly saturated and therefore give the intended color look, and a feature that allows you to toggle fast forward instead of hold it. What the heck linking not team? I’ve supported you TWICE now by buying premium, and my reward for playing on IOS is… LESS features? 😡 Update: Still no access to cheats even though the android version has them!

Great emulator, coming from Android retro devices to iOS.
This emulator is great, delta has more options but you get trading with this app. Coming from the Android version of this app I am impressed. This developer has done a fantastic job regardless.

My Emulator of choice, but flawed.
I picked this emulator because, unlike Delta, the in game clocks automatically sync with the system after switching back to the app rather than just resuming the clock where it was where you left it. A key feature for me is definitely the button remapping, which I love. The Lcd3X video filter is amazing too. The audio is also soooo much better than Delta’s. I haven’t tried the titular linking function yet so I can’t speak on that. My main complaints are that it is slower than Delta and the audio desyncs. The framerate and game speed will drop and not run as smoothly as other emulators and the screen will tear (into a weird 6 parts), but is very much still playable, at least in my opinion. I cannot say the same about the audio desync. When you leave the app for a bit and come back to it, the audio will be delayed by about half a second. If at least the audio issue is fixed, this would be the gba emulator I’d recommend to everyone.
