'''mGBA''' is an a free and open -source emulator of the [[Game Boy/Game Boy Color emulators|Game Boy/Color]] and [[Game Boy Advance emulators|Game Boy Advanceemulator]] developed by endrift. The goals are Being written from scratch, it aims for speed , accuracy, and accuracyportability. 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]]. As of 0.9.0, mGBA with a stripped-down GUI has been integrated into [[Dolphin]] recently for games supporting connectivity features.<ref>[https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2021/07/21/integrated-gba/ mGBA Integration: Introducing the Integrated GBA]</ref>

Nightlies also support==medusa=='''medusa''' is a [[Nintendo DS emulators|Nintendo DS emulator]] being developed by mGBA developer endrift<ref>https://mgba.io/2017/04/08/medusa</ref>. The plan was for medusa to eventually merge with and replace mGBA sometime after mGBA 1.0 is released to form medusa 2.0, making it an emulator that could play GB/C, GBA, and NDS. 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:* 4//mgba.io/2018/03/09/holy-grail-player multiplayer* Cheat code support* Gyroscope support* Modification of RTC (permits fast berrybugs-growing revisited/</ref> due to a slowdown in Pokémon games)development for both medusa and mGBA. There is an alpha version available, but accuracy is spotty and some features are lacking.
