Mac Boy Advance inherits its list of supported formats and it can load GBA, SGB, and GBC zipped and gzipped ROMs thus, once downloaded, you can directly load them and start. We do recommend taking a look at modding your own Gameboy Color, it’s a lot of fun, and is very simple to do! Or you can just wait for the Analogue Pocket or snag a Hyperkin Retron Sq instead. Mac Boy Advance is one such utility and a fork of the very popular cross-platform VisualBoyAdvance, a Nintendo Game Boy, Color and Advance handheld gaming console emulator. So, there you have it, a look at our best Gameboy Color emulators that we have used and tested over the years. There’s a few that are better than this is many ways, but it’s always good to have an emulator on stand by should something happen to the others on the list. VisualBoy Advance is reliable, easy to use and very noob friendly, you can save your games, load them, map your keys, playing GBC and GBA plus add those old school cheats that your remember. Until Nintendo and others start legally selling ROMs themselves, there’s nothing we can do apart from use the ROM’s from they physical games we own, but that’s an article in itself. Many retro gamers appreciate open-source emulators because it saves them money, and it supports the “open” nature of emulating old games instead of paying a company who is using this grey area for profit.
