## SameBoy Reviews in United States

### ***** "Help"
How do I get it to work on my watch
-- Gr8arrow, 2025-01-01

### ****- "nearly there"
All it needs now is multiplayer via wireless and it will be perhaps the ultimate GB/C emulator on this thing, the groundwork is already there
-- kitestar_, 2024-12-21

### ***** "This Emulator Slaps!"
The one that does it all: GB Camera and Printer support, best in class accurate emulation for fellow purveyors of authentic retro experiences, and an UI that does not make you feel like you’re steering an F16 with a SNES mouse while somebody is selling you extended warranty for your car.

It’s unbelievable how an app that could comfortably fit on four 3.5 inch floppy disks is so much better than anything else on the app store!
-- zphd, 2024-12-19

### *---- "Great emulation, annoying feature that won’t go away."
Was looking forward to emulating GameBoy camera on this, and it does that super well, but won’t stop giving me these stupid “tips” every 5 seconds when I move the D-Pad. Very disappointed.
-- CD Harmonist, 2024-12-18

### ***** "Highly Recommended"
This is an excellent Game Boy emulator. It would be nice if there was at least one theme that has larger buttons, however. I have large hands, and the D-pad, and the A and B buttons are way too small for my fingers.
-- tmvntr, 2024-12-17

### ****- "im currently supporting sameboy for a theme"
can you please add an option to purchase individual themes seperately to own them for life? that would be better for me than paying every month.
-- Geeeryhrr, 2024-12-10

### ***** "The Best Boy"
If you want the best GameBoy experience it’s here. It’s really just kinda magical, I tried this out a few weeks ago when I was trying a bunch of different emulators before getting busy and when I came back although my phone and been through reboots and updates this automatically pulled up what I’d been playing last! 

The only thing I would change would be the swipe to save and load. I just wish they were separated toggles and not all or none. This is because I wiped my screen against my shoulder to clean off smudges(kids) and accidentally loaded my previous save. It wasn’t very far back but enough to want this change just in case 😅

Edit: that’s great to know!! That makes sense now, I must have thought the rewind would only go back as far as the start of a load state.
-- ianzerotwo, 2024-11-09

### ****- "Linking games!"
Add a way for me to link 2 Pokémon games in the app please otherwise perfect
-- Something2say2Uagain, 2024-11-09

### ****- "Incredible, with some minor flaws"
This is an incredible Gameboy / Gameboy Color emulator. I thought it’d just be a basic emulator that plays ROMs and nothing more, but the features it supports, wow. Rumble; sure. Tilting, cool. But THE GAMEBOY CAMERA? Not even Delta supports that! This is almost a perfect emulator. Keyword, almost. I have a couple suggestions, that would absolutely make this emulator 5 stars.

1. This is the main one for me, but I hate when you go back to a game, it doesn’t restart like you’d expect it to, it creates auto saves that just throw you right to where you were before. It’s annoying, especially if you have a different console emulated, loading that auto save switches it to what you were using before, making you have to choose again. I get why people would like this, but I think it should be an option, and then have the preview be the box art or something.

(Also I wish the game wouldn’t immediately load up as soon as you reopen the emulator after closing it, that should be a separate option.)

2. I love how you can emulate the Super Game Boy, but it’d be neat if you could actually use the functions of the Super Game Boy. I mean, it had its own controller in Japan with special abilities, that would make this emulator even more special if it had those. Now I don't entirely expect this, since those features were more of a Super Nintendo thing than it was Gameboy, but would be neat to have.

3. This is a bit unnecessary but I wish you could load save states while emulating different hardware, I remember seeing videos of people using cheating devices of the time to switch consoles and it would break certain games, it’d be funny to have.

4. Final thing, Gameboy Printer support? It’d be neat if you could actually print stuff, and by print I mean save its output to your photo gallery. Not necessary but fun.

That’s about it, overall, this emulator is really good, almost perfection. Just needs a couple more things and I don’t think it could be topped.

### ***** "This has got to be my fav to play all GB and GBC roms"
This is definitely the best GB and GBC Emulator and it plays GBA aswell for GBA tho I prefer to use the XGBA Emulator Then This One For GB And GBC roms I have one question tho

Can The Dev Explain To Me How This Has Been Integrated With Homebrew Hub What Do U Mean By That Exactly??
