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]].

==Notable features==
** Tilt sensor emulation for games like WarioWare: Twisted! and Yoshi's Universal Gravity
** Rumble Pak emulation for games like Drill Dozer and WarioWare: Twisted!
** Battle Chip Gate, Progress Chip Gate, and Beast Link Gate emulation for Rockman.EXE 4, 4.5, 5, and 6
** Real-time clock (Boktai series, Pokémon series, Rockman EXE 4.5 Real Operation), synced to system time or set arbitrarily
* Support for BPS/beat, IPS and UPS patching at runtime, including ROMs in compressed archives (.7z/.zip)
* Save states <!-- would be more notable if it didn't support them -->
* Fast-forwarding and rewinding
 
endrift is also developing Medusa, a [[Nintendo DS emulators|DS emulator]].<ref>https://mgba.io/2017/04/08/medusa</ref> This project is in alpha, meaning accuracy is spotty and features are lacking. Medusa is planned to replace mGBA next year.
Some features that are still planned include:<ref>https://mgba.io/2014/12/09/announcing-mgba/</ref>
* A comprehensive debug suite
* e-Reader support
* Wireless adapter support (Mario Golf, Classic NES Series, Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen/Emerald, the built-in software when no game is inserted) ==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://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.
