| − | + | '''mGBA''' is an open-source [[Game Boy/Game Boy Color emulators|Game Boy/Color]] and [[Game Boy Advance emulators|Game Boy Advance emulator]] developed by endrift. Being written from scratch, it aims for speed, accuracy, and portability. As of yet, it's the most complete GBA emulation effort, passing the older project [[VisualBoy_Advance|VBA and its forks]]. It is also available as a [[Libretro]] core for [[RetroArch]]. | |

Development began in 2016 and was expected to merge sometime in 2018. However, as of March 2018, medusa has been "suspended until further notice"<ref>https://mgba.io/2018/03/09/holy-grail-bugs-revisited/</ref> due to a slowdown in development for both medusa and mGBA. There is an alpha version available, but accuracy is spotty and some features are lacking. |
