Store description excerpt

PocketCore is a fast, free emulator for the Game Boy Advance, Game Boy and Game Boy Color. It plays the game files you already own, from a folder you choose on your own device. PocketCore does not include any games, and it cannot find or download any. You supply the files legally. ONE APP, THREE SYSTEMS Game Boy Advance, Game Boy and Game Boy Color are all supported, and PocketCore works out which system a file is for by reading the file itself. Most emulators make you buy the handheld and the Advance separately. This one does not. ACCURATE EMULATION PocketCore is built on mGBA, one of the most accurate open-source Game Boy Advance cores there is. Sound is generated at the console's own 32,768 Hz and paced by your device's audio output, so picture and sound stay locked together without the drift you get from a timer. SAVE ANYWHERE Ten save-state slots per game, each with a thumbnail of the moment you saved. PocketCore also writes an automatic save state whenever you close a game, so you can always pick up exactly where you stopped. Battery saves work exactly as the cartridge intended. REWIND YOUR MISTAKES Hold the rewind button to run the last few seconds backwards, let go, and try again. CONTROLS THAT FIT YOUR HANDS Drag every on-screen button to wherever your thumbs actually sit, and set the size and opacity to taste. Separate layouts are remembered for portrait and landscape. Multi-touch throughout, so holding a direction while tapping A works the way it should. Diagonals on the directional pad are resolved by angle, not by rectangles, so they are actually reachable. USE A REAL CONTROLLER Bluetooth and USB gamepads are supported, including analogue sticks and hat switches. Any button can be remapped by pressing it. EVERYTHING ELSE - Fast forward up to 8x, and slow motion down to a quarter speed - Cheat codes: GameShark, Action Replay, CodeBreaker, Game Genie and raw codes - Tilt, gyroscope and solar sensor emulation for the cartridges that used them - Rumble support - Reads .gba, .gb, .gbc files, and .zip and .7z archives - Integer scaling for sharp, evenly-scaled pixels - Material You interface with a full dark theme - Your recent games appear as shortcuts when you long-press the app icon FREE, WITH ADS PocketCore is free and supported by advertising. Ads appear on the game list and settings screens, and occasionally when you close a game. There are never any ads while a game is running. A NOTE ON GAME FILES PocketCore ships with no games and no BIOS file, and has no way to search for or download either. Please only use files you are legally entitled to use. OPEN SOURCE PocketCore's emulation core is mGBA by endrift and contributors, used under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. The source for the covered files is linked from inside the app, under About PocketCore. Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance are trademarks of Nintendo. PocketCore is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Nintendo.
