;[[mGBA]]:Aims for accuracy, speed, and features. For its accuracy, it's gradually becoming the best at that.

Performance is still a problem, as it lacks support for the fast Direct3D and DirectSound APIs.;[[VisualBoy Advance|Visual Boy Advance (VBA)]]:The original GBA emulator. Discovered Has stopped development and lacks features compared to have other offerings, it also has an ACE vulnerability detailed belowcorrected in VBA-M.

:;[[VisualBoy Advance#VBA-M|Visual Boy Advance-M (VBA-M)]]:A fork with additional improvements. The SVN1507 build is the only recommended one, as it is perfectly stable and is the best GBA emulator to date. VBA-M after the 2.0 releases became riddled with stability and performance problems.
::;VBA-Next:A [[RetroArch]] fork from an older revision of VBA-M with added speedhacks and tweaks, making it useful for lower-end devices. A bit less accurate in some respects, but fixes a few games such as Advance Wars 2.

;[[gpSP]]:Its last official version was 0.9. There are, however, two forks of interest: [http://dl.qj.net/psp/emulators/gpsp-mod-20090720.html gpSPmod], and [http://filetrip.net/psp-downloads/homebrew/download-gpsp-j-12-06-16-f29570.htmlgpSP-J gpSP-J]. gpSP-J has superior compatibility, while gpSPmod has more options for customization (full screen, cheats, etc). Both are superior to Kai.
;[[MAME]]:Has a <code>gba</code> driver markup as working but both graphics and sound are "imperfect".
