MGBA
,It's better. Tweaked a bit more to be more like a description. The readme is very bare bones and some ambiguous stuff (fast-forwarding for example) needs clarification. If someone knows more keyboard shortcuts, please add them

'''mGBA''' is an open source emulator of the [[Game_Boy_Advance_emulators Game Boy Advance]]Game Boy Advance. The goals are speed and accuracy.
==Downloads==
* Only GBA emulator thus far to load the NES Classic series due to a peculiar DRM system Nintendo implemented for those (which display "Game Pack Error" and crash on start-up for all other GBA emulators)
* Local link cable support (up to 4 players)
* Functional Solar Sensor (Boktai series) emulation. Other Besides no$gba (where this feature is emulated in a limited way), other emulators would need the ROM image to be modified, and the fix isn't very ideal.
The emulator also has functional tilt emulation (WarioWare Twisted, Yoshi's Universal Gravity), and variable rumble emulation (Drill Dozer). Yet their controls are disabled in all current builds and hence unusable for now for the end-user.
* TAS and romhacking oriented options.
Some other perks mGBA offers over VBA-M are:
* Basic save state support with rewinding.
* Fast-forwarding is available (TAB key), but not re-mappable to another key like in VBA-M.
* Very basic cheat code support (AR, GS, CB), no search options.
* Real-time clock support (used in Pokémon games), with the option to synch it to system time or set it to an arbitrary value.
* Can patch games at runtime with translation/romhack patches in BPS (beat) format. Like some other GBA emulators, it can also use IPS and UPS (tsukyomi) patches, and load games from zip/7zip archives without the need to uncompress it (unlike no$gba)* Can force the game to use specific save formats, but also specific sensors (mostly unemulated altogether in other emulators).
